Marija is a deeply compassionate and trauma-informed counsellor who specializes in supporting youth and adults through life’s most difficult and transformative moments. Marija helps clients reconnect with themselves, process unresolved trauma, and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

​

Marija has a unique ability to connect with individuals who may feel uncertain or anxious  about reaching out for help. Whether you’re a young person navigating identity, emotion, and pressure, or an adult seeking to heal from painful past experiences, Marija walks alongside you with empathy, curiosity, humor, and respect. She believes true healing comes not only from understanding our struggles, but from experiencing meaningful change; emotionally, mentally, and physically.

​

Specializing in trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation, and life transitions, Marija’s integrative approach combines evidence-based tools with deep presence and attunement. Her use of Gestalt Therapy brings a focus to the here-and-now experience, helping clients develop greater self-awareness and gain insight into patterns that keep them stuck. She also works with EMDR and somatic work, guiding clients in releasing what the body has been holding onto, often long after the mind has tried to move on. Marija’s practice is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, whole, and empowered to move forward ; no matter where they’re starting from.
