Emotionally Focused Therapy in Austin, TX | In-person & Online

A safe space to have healing conversations.

Attachment-based therapy for gen z/ millennial couples & adults.

Are you wanting more- but unsure of how to get there?

You’re tired of feeling stuck. You sense a pull for more- more connection and understanding in your relationship, more clarity and purpose in your life- yet you’re unsure where or how to begin. Maybe this place has started to feel familiar, but it’s still lonely and disheartening.

As a couples and individual therapist, I help clients slow down and understand what’s getting in the way of what they’re longing for. Together, we explore where these patterns come from and work toward moving forward with greater awareness, connection, and intention.

It’s time to feel fulfilled again- in your life and with your partner.

Hi, I’m Maria. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can slow down, feel understood, and start making sense of what’s been weighing on you- whether that’s your relationship, your sense of self, or both.

Most of my work is with gen z and millennial couples and individuals who feel stuck in painful patterns, miscommunication, emotional distance, or dissatisfaction. You might love your partner deeply, but still feel unheard, disconnected, or unsure how to get back to each other. Or you might feel overwhelmed by your own emotions, attachment patterns, or past experiences and want help understanding yourself better.

I use attachment-based therapy (primarily Emotionally Focused Therapy) to help you get to the heart of what’s really happening beneath the surface- the fears, needs, and longings that often show up as conflict, shutdown, or distance. We’ll work on creating emotional safety, clearer communication, and deeper connection- both with yourself and with the people you care about.

I’m especially passionate about working with intercultural couples and couples struggling with communication, as well as with individuals navigating quarter-life crisis themes. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct- I’m engaged, supportive, and present, and I’ll walk with you through the hard parts while helping you build real, lasting change.

If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’d love to talk and see if we’re a good fit.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

$145- 50 minutes

For adults 18+ who are ready to reconnect with themselves and move forward in a way that feels grounded and authentic. Whether you’re questioning your purpose, career, or relationships, or struggling with self-esteem, self-doubt can create anxiety and leave you feeling unsettled and disconnected.

I’m here to walk alongside you as we explore what is- and isn’t- serving you, clarify your values, and support you in moving forward in a way that honors who you are.

COUPLES THERAPY

$160- 50 minutes

For couples who are feeling disconnected and ready to rebuild understanding and security. You may be struggling with communication, feeling misunderstood, or stuck in the same patterns that leave both of you frustrated or alone- especially when differences in culture, family backgrounds, or life transitions add another layer of complexity.

In therapy, I support couples in slowing down these patterns, understanding each other (and themselves) more deeply, and learning how to communicate in ways that feel safe, intentional, and connecting.

COUPLES INTENSIVES

$3,150- 13 hours of therapy over 3 days

For couples who feel stuck and want to reconnect in a deeper, more focused way. If you’ve been caught in the same long-standing challenges, feeling distant, or struggling to understand each other- a couples intensive offers the time and space to truly focus on your relationship in a supportive setting .

Over three dedicated days, we slow things down, get to the heart of what’s been keeping you stuck, and help you reconnect in ways that feel more understanding, safe, and meaningful- often creating progress that might otherwise take months in weekly therapy.
