Whether children, adolescents, or adults, we all have life challenges that need to be addressed: from the difficulties of navigating family requirements, needs, and dynamics to the stress associated with succeeding at school, work, or other areas. These can bring on depression, anxiety, acting out behaviors, relationship troubles and loss issues. Other times, we face challenges of our own making and need to learn how to adjust our behaviors and thought patterns. Sometimes, we just need to learn how to handle changes we were not expecting, or those we've been hoping not to have to face.

As a couples counselor, I help partners resolve conflicts through learning how to compromise and how to talk to each other more respectfully. Couples reach specific agreements which may involve sex and intimacy, money, substance use, in-laws, parenting, or household responsibilities. I establish clear interactive guidelines which focus on not bringing up the negative past, playing the blame game, or making dismissive comments about the relationship. A core premise of my work is that almost almost any relationship problem can be resolved as long as couples are committed to each other and open to changing how they communicate.

Born in Bronx New York, I graduated Columbia University in 1989 with an MS in Social Work and became a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist helping individuals and couples thrive. I also use DBT and ACT to create a Psychodynamic Counseling approach. If you struggle with communication in personal and work relationships I provide you with techniques to help change negative behaviors like blame and reactivity into sensitivity and compassion toward the self and others. Mood shifts and alcohol and other drug use is also addressed as it influences the stability of your mood. I will provide a free consultation at your convenience.
