Marriage counseling that Heals in Nanuet, NY. Restore Your Relationship.

I love working with couples and especially high conflict couples. I draw on the Gottman Method, an evidence-based couples therapy that starts with a detailed relationship checkup and great communication tools that will transform how you talk and listen to each other.

A healthy marriage takes work. All things can be improved, changed and bettered, with just a little support, no matter how big or small. In our couple’s therapy sessions, we help people develop the necessary skills needed to maintain a healthy relationship.

Therapy can help couples to shift from criticizing and blaming to discovering individual feelings that underlie the surface conflicts. It can have a liberating and transformative effect on both the relationship and the individuals.

I specialize in helping couples reconnect through life’s most difficult seasons. Whether facing broken communication, lost intimacy, infidelity, or deep exhaustion, I provide a path forward toward healing, closeness, and renewed trust.

With couples, I show each partner how first to control their emotional reactions (anger & hurt) and how to negotiate for what they want. This enables each individual to respond more effectively to their partner and increases the chances of problem resolution.

Communication is the key to any healthy relationship. Understanding and respecting differences takes work and through counseling, couples & families can gain a better perspective on choices that they can make to improve life at home.

I specialize in providing evidence-based marriage counseling that supports couples in strengthening their communication, deepening emotional connection, and resolving conflict in a healthy way. My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy & collaboration.

I also provide couples counseling for alternative and traditional relationships. I use an approach to counseling that leans heavily on Imago therapy, where you will learn how to communicate more effectively with your partner so that needs and desires are heard.

Challenging issues can arise even in good marriages. Addressing issues around communication, co-dependency, sexuality, and infidelity need not ruin your relationship - working through interpersonal knots like these can lead to a stronger marriage.

Couples and co-parents deserve expert guidance from a specialist. I’ve trained in-person with leaders in the field, including Dr. John Gottman, Dr. Sue Johnson, and Dr. Bill Doherty. My common-sense approach helps break negative cycles and improve relationships.

We all want to feel loved, but being in a relationship can be a challenge. I look forward to helping you figure it out so you can find fulfillment with your partner and within yourself.
