From roommates back to lovers.
You still love each other. That was never the question. But somewhere between the logistics, the screens and the same fight in its fourth costume, you became excellent managers of a shared life, and strangers to each other's inner one.
I work with couples in person in the Lisbon and Sintra area, and online worldwide, in English and Hebrew. I am trained in couples therapy, and relationship is the ground of everything I do.
What we work on
Breaking the fight that keeps coming back. Learning to turn toward each other in the middle of an argument instead of away. Rebuilding intimacy and desire after years, kids, or a rupture. Money conversations that end in decisions instead of silence. And underneath all of it: building a relationship that can hold love and depth together with fear.
All relationship structures are welcome here, monogamous to polyamorous. You will not need to explain yourself first.
How I work
Somatic and structured. We do not just talk about the pattern, we catch it live in the room, in the body, as it happens between you. Sessions are active: I hold the process and keep it moving. We name clear goals, and you leave every session with something concrete to practice at home. That is where the change actually lives.
Couples also come to me around big shared thresholds: a move between countries, a decision about children, or preparing for an MDMA assisted experience together.
By the end
By the end of our work you will have: a shared map of the fight that kept repeating, ways to turn toward each other in the middle of it, and agreements you both actually keep.
We don't choose partners with our values. We choose them with our patterns.
More on this: why you keep having the same fight, the hour after the fight, and everything else I have written.
Questions couples ask
Yes. In person in the Lisbon and Sintra area, and online worldwide, in English and Hebrew. Many of my clients are internationals and expats living in Portugal.
No. You can come together, or one of you can start first. A relationship changes when one person in it starts moving differently.
I am trained in couples therapy and we meet the same material: communication, conflict, intimacy, trust. The frame is coaching: goal oriented, active, with practice between sessions. It is not psychotherapy and does not replace it.
Online over Zoom, in person around Lisbon and Sintra, or walking side by side. Some conversations need a moving body and open sky. I travel upon request.
