About Me

You got married because of different reasons, and you stay married also because of different reasons. It is only in the process that you find out how things truly work or not.
Many people do really want to create a good marriage from its roots. Most people do want this, what does not mean it is an easy task at all nor always possible if keeping our ways and tendencies the same without openness and flexibility to change, grow and get wiser. Good things are not easy neither just appear. They take time and effort; and again, many times it is not only about who is there next to us, but how well we work together literally building not just a healthy, but a fulfilling marriage.
 
We could say that no real whole fulfillment could be experience in life without healthy and meaningful relationships, were our individual needs and expectation could be met, where we could feel not just "loved" and desired but respected, understood, supported and embraced by real caring, not in a codependent way but in a healthy and gentle manner.
 
My approach is focused on promoting your insight about why you think, feel and react the way you do in relationships, to support you to take advantage of your own skills and potential and to guide you on taking care of your emotional needs and wounds that are not allowing you to mindfully and gently take good care of your life and your relationships with others, especially when about that special person that gives much more meaning and hope to your life.
 
You could expect to receive sincere, ethical, assertive and emphatic support even in those moments when denial and avoidance are your worst enemies. I will challenge your ego and promote the awakening and nurture of your real self.
 
If you are serious about dating and relationships and were willing to work on the challenges it implies, I would like to offer my support to work with you on this challenging and fulfilling endeavor.
