I struggled with a difficult relationship for 17 years. In that time I tried to make the
situation more harmonious by going to years of traditional family therapy, reading
self-help books, praying, meditating, talking with friends, doing rituals, fighting, ignoring,
and wishing things were different. In two sessions with Ana Maria Cardoso, I was able
to see the dynamics I felt caught in in an entirely new way, one which feels most true to
the reality of the situation. I left our sessions with tools that create more harmony and
felt empowered to address other areas of my life that have also been stuck. Her work is
compassionate, insightful, clarifying and precise. I am deeply grateful for the time we
have worked together.
