Couples Counseling Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Famed poet Maya Angelou once said, “there is no greater agony then bearing an untold story inside you”. I believe we all have untold stories and these life stories can produce emotional discomforts and become a source of unresolved pain. With over 20 years’ experience I can support you in the therapeutic journey to gain awareness, insight, and understanding into beliefs about self that disrupt relationships and daily functioning. I completed certification in Couples Therapy and specialize in work with couples. Currently, I am pursuing certification as a sex therapist to help couples better address their sexual life.

We all face common struggles of loneliness, depression, sadness, anxiety, conflict in relationships and stress related to work and finances, among others. After years of treating children, adults, couples and families as a Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist, I know that by embracing and exploring our struggles we can use the power of our wisdom to find solutions, enhance our growth, access our potential, and experience contentment and joy in our lives. I provide individual therapy and couple's therapy to those wanting to discover solutions to specific problems, but also, those seeking greater satisfaction and contentment in their lives.

Every client is different and I believe that the healing process should be a collaborative one between therapist and client, one where the client feels empowered to be an active participant in the change that they seek for themselves. Progress looks like a client being able to not only be more self-aware of themselves but amenable of how they respond to triggers that, in the past, would have elicited a very different reaction. An ideal client is one that is willing to be their own change agent. My role is to not serve as their fairy godmother waving a wand, but rather an accountability partner and guide on their therapeutic journey.

Are you and your partner becoming distant, like roommates? Are you longing for more closeness? Are you needing to pull away and not sure you can make your partner happy? I can help you and your partner find more emotional closeness and a safer more caring connection. I help many couples and found the best approach to couple counseling and marital therapy to be EFT, Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples by Dr Susan Johnson. Outcome studies show 75% see improvement in trust of their partner, and satisfaction. Improving relationships also decreases stress, enables one to feel safer and less alone.

As a CBT goal-focused therapist I partner with my clients to help them achieve effective life changes. This approach can be particularly effective for individuals who experience symptoms related to anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress and other conditions that interfere with their quality of life. In a non-judgmental, supportive environment, I work with my clients to help them develop ways to achieve their goals.

I believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship - as a site for activation, reflection, examination, change, and corrective emotional experiences. So often the very things that have helped protect us throughout our lives also create barriers and challenges. Therapy offers us a space to slow down and explore these defenses and patterns, and to develop healthier alternatives. We will work collaboratively to reach mutual understanding, honest emotional expression, and to acknowledge and nourish your true self, in all of its complexity - which will hopefully lead to a more authentic, vibrant, fulfilling life.
