Online Couples Therapy
Welcome!
Expatriate Couple
You and your partner have embarked on an exciting life journey abroad, leaving behind the comfort of home, family, and friends to immerse yourselves in a new culture. This journey is not only thrilling but also filled with unique challenges.
Moving to a country with a different culture can profoundly impact a relationship. It's common for you to face adaptation pressures, language barriers, new professional status, homesickness, and new social dynamics.
Navigating this phase without professional help can be even more difficult and stressful. That's why I offer therapy designed specifically for couples facing the complexities of life in a new country.
Intercultural Couple
Specialized couples therapy for partners who do not share the same cultural backgrounds. In couples where people come from different cultures, understanding and communication can be more challenging, as habits considered normal for one may seem strange to the other.
The way of loving or expressing oneself in the relationship can also be directly linked to cultural traits. Being aware of these differences and, above all, accepting them as inherent to each person's structure is important for improving communication and understanding between people with different cultural backgrounds.
Key Features
My approach is based on deep analysis and attentive listening. Without clichés or commonplaces, I offer a space for deep reflection, where issues of identity, communication, and values can be explored with clarity and discernment.
Cultural Sensitivity: I have been a psychologist for over 23 years and hold a PhD in Cultural Anthropology. Having lived in different countries, I have extensive knowledge of how culture influences relationship dynamics. By delving into the layers of your cultural heritage, I facilitate insights that can help resolve conflicts in previously unexplored ways.
Meaningful Dialogue: Breaking away from superficiality, I create an environment of authentic dialogue. Instead of quick fixes, I encourage deep conversations that lead to mutual understanding.
Respect for Individuality and Differences: I value your uniqueness and the singular contributions each partner brings to the relationship. Therapy will help you find a balance between your individual identities, building a space of respect and acceptance.
Flexible Scheduling: A flexible schedule that adapts to your country's time zone ensures you can book sessions without disrupting your daily routine.
Couples sessions can be conducted in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.
