Online Psychotherapy with Dr. Catalina

Tired of being roommates?
Let’s reignite your connection and create the passionate, secure relationship you both crave.

We all crave a love that feels safe, passionate, and deeply connected. My work with couples is about building a relationship that is a safe haven and a launchpad — a place where both of you feel supported, seen, and celebrated.

We learn experientially and change in relationship.

For couples, this means that we use our relationship as a triad in therapy as the foundation for real, meaningful transformation.

Sexuality is our life force

A fulfilling sexual connection is central to a thriving relationship. Relationships are what make life worth living, and my goal is to help you and your partner embrace your needs, wants, and desires — both as individuals and as a couple — to build a love that nurtures and inspires.

How I Work With Couples

I integrate attachment theory, neuroscience, and tantra in my work with couples to help create deeper intimacy and connection. This is about understanding what drives each of you — what you need, what you want, and how you can be there for one another in ways that foster growth.

At the start of our work together, I may opt to meet with each partner individually for 1-2 sessions. This helps me get a clear understanding of each of you, your needs, and what makes your relationship unique.


Couple therapy with me is active, direct, and real.

It’s about doing the work, learning together, and embracing the beauty and messiness of love. Whether we’re breaking old patterns or deepening intimacy, I’m here to guide you both every step of the way.

The PACT Approach

I’m trained in PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy), a method that’s all about harnessing the power of the relationship to create secure attachment. Here are some of the core ingredients of the PACT approach:
  • Attachment Theory:

    Understanding how your past experiences shape your expectations of love and connection today. We work on creating a relationship where both partners feel secure, understood, and valued.

  • Neuroscience:

    Exploring how our brains are wired to connect, and using this knowledge to foster closeness. We’ll dive into what’s happening beneath the surface — your instincts, reactions, and what they mean for your connection.

  • Somatic and Experiential Work:

    We’ll engage the body and nervous system in therapy. It’s not just about talking; it’s about using real-time experiences to shift how you relate to one another.

My goal for you is secure attachment

a relationship where you can be uniquely yourselves while nurturing the partnership. I encourage each of you to assert and nurture your needs, wants, and desires while also holding space for your partner to do the same. With the help of attachment theory, neuroscience, and tantra, we create a relationship that is more than just functional; it becomes vibrant, loving, and alive.

Better intimacy starts here

Don’t worry, I get it: relationships and intimacy can be hard to navigate. But it’s time for you to experience your absolute birthright—exponential bliss. 

So let’s talk about it. Let me share with you my expertise.
