I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY and FL. I specialize in helping women navigate unresolved trauma, anxiety, relationship and dating challenges, parenting struggles, body image, low self-esteem, depression, lack of confidence and other life stressors. I work with clients to figure out what’s getting in the way of living a fulfilled life free from self-doubt, self-criticism, shame, guilt and the worries that so commonly impact us all. Therapy with me will involve identifying negative thoughts and limiting beliefs that are keeping a person stuck in their emotions, worry or certain behaviors.

Coming into a therapeutic environment is courageous and speaks volumes of your strength and resiliency. As quoted by Abraham Maslow, “In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety.” This is your first step into growth! Therapy is a sanctuary where you can feel safe, seen, heard, and valued. My mission is to provide a calm, empathic, and nurturing environment where you can explore your own narrative.

I have several years of experience working with individuals and couples .
It is hard to seek help when we are feeling anxious, confused, or lost. Figuring out who we are and what we want can be very challenging. Psychotherapy can help when, because of specific circumstances, history of trauma, or during life transitions, we experience feelings of worthlessness, panic, loneliness, or emptiness.

It's so hard to be you isn't it? Being in a relationship and not feeling heard. Your needs not getting met. You're questioning if you should stay or leave. You've tried communicating in every way you can think of or not communicating and letting things "slide", but nothing changes. The frustration and resentment just builds. Before you make the decision to leave or decide to just sweep it under the rug and continue to be in pain, let me work with both of you.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
