Therapists in New York, NY

Are you having problems in your relationship? As a psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I am here to help. I can guide you through rebuilding trust, establishing clear communication channels, and restoring intimacy. If you’re looking for a couples therapist, you’ve probably tried to improve your relationship on your own without success, and maybe you’re discouraged. Couples therapy helps overcome these frustrations by using proven strategies to strengthen relationships. I use one of the most effective methods of couples counseling called Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFT).

As a Clinical Psychologist for 30 years, I continue to be enriched, challenged and personally deepened by my work. My therapeutic style is active, engaged and empathetic. I help clients find meaning and purpose in their lives, through exploring the past, asking questions about the present, and collaborating to brainstorm solutions for the future. As Clinical Director of the Center for Loss and Renewal, I have an expertise in guiding clients on issues relating to loss and grief. Alongside this specialty I am gratified by the many couples I work with on relationship enhancement issues as well as the coaching work for business success.

I firmly believe in the inherent potential of each person to become their optimal self. Life's journey often presents us with unforeseen challenges and overwhelming transitions that can impede our progress. These circumstances may hinder our ability to live fully. My primary objective is to establish a nurturing environment where individuals can cultivate positive and sustainable changes through the foundation of a therapeutic alliance. By fostering this connection, I aspire to empower individuals to navigate life's complexities and unlock their fullest potential.

If you find yourself struggling to navigate life in what feels like a messy, complicated, relentless world, reaching out for help can feel overwhelming.

I believe that therapy looks different for everyone, and it can even vary session to session. Most importantly, it is a collaborative process that works best when you feel truly seen and heard.
