People often enter couples or marriage therapy because they are struggling with difficult emotional circumstances and relationships.  Most are trying to make sense of problematic thoughts and feelings and straining to figure out how they fit into the world around them and with the people in their lives.  They are looking for new perspectives on managing their conflicts and generating a deeper sense of connection and intimacy.

Some people seeking couples or marriage therapy come in for short-term help and to develop tools and strategies to get them through a particularly painful time.  Others seek a more intensive long-term approach, which involves a more in-depth exploration of problematic life patterns.

Regardless of what brings you and your loved one in, you can expect an open and supportive atmosphere that facilitates problem solving, growth and insight.  My therapy style is highly personalized to address your relationship’s need for development as well as symptom relief.

I offer both in-person and virtual therapy for couples from my NYC office located in the Flatiron District.

Marriage Therapy & Couples Counseling - What to Expect

Conflict in a relationship is normal.  An experienced therapist will provide a non-judgmental place for you and your partner to explore the issues affecting you, so that you can create a healthier relationship that works better for both of you.

Just as every individual who comes to therapy needs something different, so does each couple. 

My role as a couples and marriage therapist is to encourage each partner to share their reality and experience. Together, we can work to facilitate an atmosphere of honesty and trust between you and your significant other so that you can feel understood in your relationship.

My goal is to help you both gain insight into the relationship so that you can work through problematic dynamics and create positive change. I will help you manage unresolved conflict in your partnership so that you can establish greater empathy for one another. We’ll identify and practice new ways to communicate in order to help you both feel heard. In time, you and your partner can develop healthy relationship patterns based on shared trust and mutual respect.

Seeing a couples and marriage therapist can lead you and your partner to develop a greater sense of emotional and physical intimacy, but sometimes you might conclude that it's time to end your relationship. If you and your partner ultimately come to this decision, I can help you navigate a healthy resolution.
