A Space for Understanding, Connection, and Growth
Couples therapy is a space where we not only address the shared difficulties in the relationship but also explore the individual stories, expectations, and challenges that each person brings to the dynamic. Inspired by humanistic approaches, such as those of the Gottman Institute, Brené Brown and Esther Perel, my goal is to help couples better understand their relationship, strengthen their capacity for connection, and navigate challenges with empathy and clarity.
At the beginning of the therapeutic process, we will explore each person’s life history, what may have hindered their emotional development and what their expectations are about love, intimacy and the relationship, in order to discover what ignites curiosity and desire in the couple, as well as pay attention to the emotional support needs of each member of the relationship.
Following this, we will focus on identifying patterns of interaction that generate conflict and work on developing practical tools to improve communication, manage disagreements, and foster mutual care and respect.
The goal of therapy is to create a safe space where couples can engage in difficult conversations, express their needs honestly, and discover new ways of relating to one another. Beyond simply “solving problems,” the work focuses on strengthening emotional and physical connection while balancing the desire for personal autonomy with the need for mutual connection. During this process, we also work to redefine expectations and roles within the relationship, adapting them to the realities and challenges of modern life.
The sessions follow a hybrid format, meaning they can be conducted both online and in person, depending on the needs and preferences of the couple. The duration and frequency of sessions are flexible, adapting to what each moment requires.
My therapeutic approach does not aim for a single outcome, such as “saving the relationship,” but rather focuses on providing clarity, tools, and a space for joint and individual growth. Whether the goal is to strengthen the relationship, redefine its terms, or move toward a conscious and respectful separation, the therapeutic work is always oriented toward honesty, mutual understanding, and personal growth.
