If your relationship is going through a difficult time, it might be the right moment to seek professional support.
It’s normal that after some time together, differences start to feel bigger. Those differences were probably there from the beginning, but they weren’t a problem back then.
Over time, however, they’ve become more noticeable. Those small details — repeated day after day, month after month, sometimes even for years — turn into irritations that lead to arguments.
Arguments that often go nowhere.
Does this sound like your relationship?
Both of you feel you’re right, but neither one gives in — or only one of you does.
After each conflict, there’s always that lingering feeling of dissatisfaction. But after a while, things go back to “normal,” and you talk as if nothing had happened.
Deep down, you both know the problem hasn’t been solved.
You’re both hurt — but nothing changes.
Couples therapy can help you step out of that repetitive dynamic that slowly erodes trust, affection, and intimacy.
How does couples therapy work?
My work is to help you uncover the invisible dynamics that sustain the problems between you.
These problems are often rooted in differences in your personal values — small differences that, over time, create tension that doesn’t get resolved.
If this continues for months or years, the relationship wears down and arguments become a daily occurrence.
The arguments get more complicated and always end the same way: both of you feel you’re right, but can’t reach an agreement.
You end up feeling misunderstood and hurt.
How do I help couples?
When I work with couples, my focus is on helping you:
Understand what truly belongs to the relationship
Some of the problems that affect your relationship don’t actually come from it.
Each of you carries stories from the past — beliefs, values, and emotional patterns from previous relationships or from your family of origin. These elements often create tension without you realizing it.
When you identify what each person is bringing from the past and how it connects to current conflicts, you can start communicating from a different place.
This allows you or your partner to take responsibility for what truly belongs to you — instead of projecting it onto the other.
Then, communication becomes more honest and constructive.
Develop conflict-resolution skills
Imagine you’re in the middle of an argument with your partner. You’re focused on proving your point (and so is your partner).
You start saying things to make them understand — but they’re doing exactly the same.
You’re both trapped in a dead end.
Often, this pattern turns into a blame game. You point out what your partner is doing wrong, and they respond by listing your mistakes.
The conversation becomes filled with hurtful words, without either of you recognizing the other’s perspective.
It’s normal to argue in a relationship. What really matters is learning how to argue constructively — so that, in the end, you can reach agreements that make both of you feel heard and valued.
What is my therapeutic approach?
My way of doing therapy draws from several different perspectives.
Having a wide range of techniques allows me to choose the most effective solution for your specific situation.
The three main pillars that guide my work are:
Ethnopsychiatry
Your beliefs are likely shaped by the culture you grew up in. Through the lens of ethnopsychiatry, I can accompany you in a way that makes sense for you — without going against your identity.
Differential approach
You are a unique person with a unique story and unique challenges. I guide all my processes from this perspective, offering solutions that fit your personal life story.
Systemic thinking
You’re part of networks of relationships that influence who you are and how you act. Solving psychological problems isn’t just about your inner world — your interactions with others are just as important.
Do you have more questions?
Some situations are very specific, and it’s not possible to make quick assumptions.
In the same way, generic solutions don’t work for complex psychological issues.
Maybe you’re ready to begin your process of transformation but want more information, or perhaps you have a situation in mind and aren’t sure if I can help.
I invite you to get in touch so I can answer all your questions.
