Common questions

A few specifics.

Do you see one partner if the other isn't ready?

Yes. Many people start individually to clarify what they want before bringing a partner in. The work can still help the relationship.

Is this for couples on the edge of separating?

Often, yes. Couples come at every stage — newly committed, married for decades, considering separation. Maria meets you where you are.

How long does couples work usually take?

It varies. Many couples meet weekly or biweekly for several months. Pace is collaborative and reviewed together.

Can sessions be in Spanish or bilingual?

Yes — English, Español, or fluidly between the two.
