Background

About

I am an integrative psychotherapist because I want to help women discover their true self and become their best version, independent and emotionally free. I believe that sometimes, we become so focused on meeting other people's expectations, maintaining relationships, or being strong for everyone around us that we gradually lose touch with our own needs, dreams, and identity. This is why I feel so passionate about helping women reconnect with themselves and discover the strength they already carry within.

What drives me is the belief that every woman deserves to feel valued, confident, and free to create a life that reflects who she truly is. I am particularly passionate about supporting women who find themselves at a crossroads, navigating relationship challenges, rebuilding their self-worth, setting healthier boundaries, or learning to put themselves first without guilt. I believe that personal growth begins when we give ourselves permission to be honest about what we feel, what we need, and what we no longer want to compromise.

My approach is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and the belief that meaningful change doesn't come from being told who to become, but from being supported as you discover your own answers. I want you to feel heard rather than judged, understood rather than misunderstood, and empowered rather than dependent on someone else's advice. Through thoughtful conversations and gentle guidance, my aim is to help you gain clarity, strengthen your self-trust, recognize unhelpful patterns, and make choices that align with your values and aspirations.

I believe that the relationship we build with ourselves influences every other relationship in our lives. When we begin to recognize our worth, honor our needs, and trust our inner voice, we create space for healthier connections and a more fulfilling life. You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Whether you're seeking clarity, navigating a difficult transition, or simply feeling ready for something to change, you deserve a space where you can explore your possibilities at your own pace. Sometimes, the most important journey is finding your way back to yourself — and I'd be honored to support you along the way.

What sets me apart

Why Choose Ana Maria

I am a catalyst, seeing people's potential and understanding people's behavior very well and fastm seeing what is behind a behavior (fear, childhood wounds etc).

Methodology

My Coaching Approach

The video sessions would be 50 minutes long, on Google meet.

As a psychoterapist I am using techniques from different psychoterapies (humanist, psychodinamic, gestalt, etc). We begin by exploring how you are feeling, what has been happening in your life, and what you would like to focus on during our session. Together, we identify the most meaningful question or challenge to work through.

Through open-ended questions, guided reflection, and attentive listening, we explore your thoughts, feelings, needs, and perspectives. This stage can help you recognize patterns, uncover assumptions, and consider situations from a different point of view.

We conclude by identifying one or two realistic actions or reflection exercises you can take into your everyday life. These might involve practicing a boundary, expressing a need, journaling about a recurring pattern, or taking a small step toward a personal goal.

Best Fit

Who I Help

My ideal client is a woman who is ready to reconnect with herself, rediscover her worth, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. She may be navigating a relationship challenge, going through a life transition, questioning her choices, or simply feeling that something in her life needs to change.

She may struggle with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, trusting her decisions, or understanding why she finds herself repeating the same patterns in relationships. Perhaps she has spent years trying to meet other people's expectations, seeking validation, or being the strong one for everyone else. Now, she is ready to turn some of that care and attention toward herself.

She is not necessarily looking for someone to tell her what to do. She wants a supportive space where she can explore her feelings, understand her needs, strengthen her self-confidence, and make decisions that align with her values. She is open to self-reflection and willing to take small, meaningful steps toward change.

I work best with women who want to build healthier relationships, develop stronger boundaries, cultivate emotional independence, and feel more secure in who they are. Whether they are single, navigating a relationship, recovering from a breakup, or entering a new chapter of life, my aim is to support them in finding greater clarity, reconnecting with their inner strengths, and creating a life that feels like their own.

Questions

Frequently Asked

50 minutes, but if there is no session afterwards, and if it is needed, it can be extended to 60 minutes

Relationship problems, emotional challenges, divorce, separation, breakup, confusion with decision-making, setting boundaries and identifying real needs, self-discovery, ambivalence and life changes and challenges, attachment styles and improving communication with loved ones.

Only if you want psychotherapy. If you want only coaching, then we don't dig in your childhood wounds

It depends on the change and it depends on your cooperation. People can't be changed by a psychotherapist or coach. People change because they work on changing themselves. The intention sets the directon, while action makes things happen.

We can find a slot during my evening, which is probably your morning to have a session. Please check my availability.
