About me
Welcome – I'm glad you're here. I’m Maria – a psychologist (MSc), systemic coach, and body-oriented therapist with a special focus on the connection between the nervous system, the psyche, and intuition.
I work with individuals and couples, combining empathy, clarity, and a holistic perspective. In individual sessions (mostly with women), I integrate somatic methods, energetic practices, and evidence-based psychology. In couples therapy, I work with the well-researched and highly effective Gottman Method, offering structured and compassionate guidance through relational challenges.
This creates a safe space where both personal and relational patterns can be explored and transformed – deeply, sustainably, and with care.
Who I work with
Individual sessions (mostly with women):
- Stress, overwhelm, emotional burnout
- Life transitions, identity shifts, relationship challenges
- Strengthening self-awareness, inner clarity & intuition
- High sensitivity, overthinking, feeling "too much"
- Desire for a deeper connection to yourself
Couples therapy:
- Improving communication & emotional understanding
- Learning to listen without escalating
- Rebuilding trust and intimacy
- Navigating conflict with more clarity and compassion
- Making difficult decisions (Stay? Change? Let go?)
What to expect Whether we work one-on-one or as a couple, you’ll find a professionally held, non-judgmental space with structure, depth, and warmth. You’ll receive tools and insights that are not just insightful but tangible and applicable in daily life.
I believe true transformation happens when we understand, feel, and act – in alignment.
If something here resonates with you, whether you're navigating life on your own or in a relationship, I’d be honored to accompany you for a while.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just be willing to take a closer look.

Approach
My approach: grounded, embodied, integrative I support people who feel deeply, think a lot, and often carry a great deal of responsibility – at work, in relationships, or within themselves. Maybe you’re functioning well on the outside, while inside something quietly (or loudly) says: This isn’t working anymore.
In individual sessions, I help you reconnect with yourself – your body, your inner voice, your needs. My work combines:
Evidence-based psychological tools – clearly explained and practically applied Somatic practices – nervous system regulation, breathwork, embodiment Energetic support – such as Reiki or sound healing, for the deeper layers that words alone may not reach
In couples work, I offer a structured, research-backed process based on the Gottman Method, helping you strengthen communication, emotional connection, and trust – or make empowered decisions about your relationship path.
