I also work with couples and families.
Relationships with others, with yourself and with your environment all shape who you are. I believe healing of any kind begins with developing insight into and mending your relationships. This might mean setting boundaries, honoring your emotional experience, or making a major life change. These will be our main goals in therapy. I work to create a supportive and holding environment for my patients through which we build lasting change. I am warm, direct, and find value in incorporating humor into my work.

We all experience "stuckness" sometimes and feel disconnected from those we love most. Maybe you find yourself revisiting the same old territory in your mind on a loop, and find that it is hard to make a change on your own. Or maybe you have faced a moment of rupture in a close relationship, and find your world torn apart. Perhaps you are noticing unhelpful patterns in yourself or your relationships, and are now feeling ready to explore them. Or you might find yourself avoiding social situations, even though you have a sense it might help you feel better.

You're on your way in your career, you're single, you want a relationship and you're frustrated with the difficulties of finding a partner. You find yourself spending more time at work than braving the NYC dating scene or dating apps while wondering what you might be contributing to the problem. Part of you is preoccupied with a previous relationship and another part of you is just sick of the dating life. Beleaguered by online dating burnout, you tell yourself your career is enough! Yet a part of you can't delete all the apps on your phone, can't help wondering. You feel overwhelmed with anxiety when you think about all this.

As humans, we all have an innate need for personal growth.

In either event, it's common to feel overwhelmed, scared, anxious or depressed. However, these life events and circumstances can be amazing opportunities for growth.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
