Common Concerns I Help Couples Address

Every relationship encounters difficult seasons. Communication breaks down, old patterns resurface, and the distance between partners can feel impossible to bridge. In my practice on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, I work with couples who are ready to confront these challenges honestly and build something stronger together.
Communication Breakdown — Repeated arguments, feeling unheard, or struggling to express needs without conflict.
Emotional Distance — Growing apart, loss of connection, or feeling more like roommates than partners.
Intimacy Issues — Challenges with physical or emotional closeness that affect the bond between partners.
Life Transitions — Navigating parenthood, career changes, retirement, illness, or other major shifts together.
Trust & Rebuilding — Recovering from breaches of trust, including infidelity.
Premarital Counseling — Building a strong foundation before marriage by addressing expectations and patterns.

My Approach to Couples Work

My approach is warm, direct, and interactive. I create a safe space where both partners can speak openly, feel heard, and begin to understand the deeper dynamics driving their conflicts. I draw on multiple therapeutic modalities to meet each couple where they are.

As a therapist with deep expertise in sex therapy and relationship dynamics, I bring a holistic perspective to couples work. Intimacy — emotional and physical — is woven into the fabric of every partnership, and I address it with the sensitivity and clinical knowledge it deserves.

My Approach to Couples Work

5 out of 5 stars

“Many couples are surprised to discover that the patterns causing friction in their relationship have roots in earlier life experiences. By exploring these connections together, couples gain insight that transforms not only their partnership but their individual well-being.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Couples counseling typically involves regular sessions where both partners meet with me together. We identify the patterns that are causing distress, develop healthier communication strategies, and work toward shared goals. I may also suggest brief individual sessions when they would support the process.

The length of therapy depends on the issues involved and the commitment both partners bring. Some couples see meaningful progress in eight to twelve sessions, while deeper or more longstanding issues may take longer. I work collaboratively with each couple to set realistic expectations from the start.

Yes. There are times when individual sessions can be a valuable complement to couples work — for instance, when one partner needs space to explore personal concerns that affect the relationship. I also work with individuals on relationship issues when a partner is unwilling or unable to attend.

It is not uncommon for one partner to be hesitant. I encourage you to come on your own to start. Individual therapy can help you gain clarity about your relationship patterns and needs, and it often opens the door for a partner to join later when they see the positive changes taking place.
