Davie, FL

About working with clients from Davie.

Davie spans a wide range — equestrian neighborhoods, family subdivisions, and a large university and medical-school population at NSU. The relationships that come into therapy here vary just as much: newly committed graduate students, parents in the busy middle years, long-married couples renegotiating an empty nest.

Maria's office is in Weston, only 10 to 15 minutes west. Many Davie couples come in person weekly or biweekly; for the harder weeks, secure telehealth keeps the work consistent.

Sessions are warm, structured, and non-blaming. The focus is the pattern between you — what each of you is asking for underneath the argument, and how to rebuild the small daily moments that make a partnership feel like one. With 30+ years of experience, Maria has worked with most of the shapes a relationship can take.

Bilingual throughout (English / Español), useful for the many bicultural couples across the county.

What we work on

The shape of the work.

  • Recurring arguments that don't resolve
  • Communication and listening
  • Early-relationship skills
  • Parenting and co-parenting
  • Repair after rupture or affair
  • Intimacy and connection
  • Graduate / residency-stage couples
  • Bilingual / bicultural couples

Modality

Warm, structured, non-blaming.

The work focuses on the pattern between you rather than fault. Sessions are paced so neither partner leaves more flooded than they arrived. When trauma is in the room, EMDR-informed tools can support repair.

Common questions — Davie

A few specifics.

Davie is close — can we always come in person?

Most likely, yes. With a 10 to 15 minute drive, in-person weekly sessions are realistic for most Davie couples. Telehealth is there as a backup when the week is impossible.

We're early in our relationship — is couples therapy too soon?

Not at all. Many couples in their first few years use therapy to build communication skills before patterns calcify. Earlier work is often shorter work.

Do you see couples where one partner is an NSU student or in a residency?

Yes. Graduate-school and residency schedules are intense; we'll structure sessions around what's actually possible — biweekly, evening, or telehealth as needed.

¿Hacen sesiones bilingües?

Sí. Inglés, español, o fluidamente entre los dos.
