Whatever your situation is, I can help you slow down and create the stability and calm you need in order to work on what needs to be worked on. As I help couples establish a safe-enough environment that is conducive to constructive communication, I also begin helping them to understand what is required from each partner in order to move the relationship in the right direction.



This fall, barring a disaster, we'll celebrate 30 years of marriage, a chunk of time that has been part bliss, part hellscape, with lots of regular life thrown in. Perhaps bits of our therapists' wisdom sneaked past our cynicism and slipped into the corners of our relationship, flattening out some of the kinks.
Therapists may use or combine the following approaches: psychoanalysis, psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, relational therapy, interpersonal, humanistic, gestalt, attachment-focused therapy, art therapy, trauma resolution techniques as well as evidence-based therapies such as EMDR therapy, Somatic Experiencing (SE), Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to name a few.

Marriage Couples Counseling in NYC provides compassionate and personalized marriage therapy for couples who want nothing more than to mend and heal their relationship, as well as help with overcoming past struggles and disappointments they have been bottling up over the years.
Therapy for individuals, (also known as psychotherapy or counseling) focuses on working on the thinking that leads to unhealthy negative emotions (anger, anxiety, panic, depression, guilt, shame, etc) and the unhealthy, self-defeating behaviors that go with them.

Problems can be a tricky pitfall in therapy: We tend to understand a pre-condition of therapy as having problems.” Sometimes that's clear (we fight a lot, we deeply disagree about fundamental matters) and sometimes there's not much wrong”-no problems, per se-and yet one or both participants in the relationship want more.
My masters in Psychology emphasis was marriage and family therapy, and I have been licensed in New York and Vermont as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, held clinical divorce recovery membership in AAMFT, the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, as well as a board position in the New York Association of Marriage and Family Therapy.
