About

Let me guess—you start talking about dinner plans, and somehow it spirals into that same old fight. Before you know it, you're both frustrated, nobody feels heard, and you're left wondering, "How did we get here... again?"

Couples therapy runs in my family. My mom was a therapist, and after 15+ years teaching at NYU, I've seen how the right tools can transform even the most stuck relationships. No vague theories here—just practical strategies that actually work.

Picture having a real playbook for those tough conversations, and another for bringing back the fun and connection you once had. Imagine feeling like teammates again instead of opponents.

I help couples break free from:

- Those exhausting cycles where you both end up feeling wounded and miles apart
- The painful invisibility of not feeling seen or valued by your partner
- Arguments that go from zero to nuclear in seconds flat
- The slow fade of physical and emotional closeness
- Trust issues after betrayal that seem impossible to repair
- Communication landmines when preparing for marriage
- The "who are we now?" questions during empty nest or retirement

Look, I won't let our sessions become "relationship autopsies"—endlessly dissecting who said what and who's more wrong. That gets you nowhere. Instead, we'll identify exactly what's happening and build skills you can use right away.

My approach? Warm but straight to the point. You'll learn specific repair techniques that actually resolve conflicts instead of recycling them.

Most couples tell me they notice real shifts within just a few sessions.
Imagine walking through life hand-in-hand again, genuinely enjoying each other's company.
