Marriage Counseling Therapists in Lower Manhattan, New York, NY

A good therapist helps clarify what we already do well and separates out what's useful from what's not. Therapy is about expanding your repertoire, spotting better choices, and enhancing communication skills. When insecurities worm their way into everyday life, and you're more or less "stuck" at an unsatisfying plateau, that's exactly when therapy makes a meaningful difference. On the road from confusion to clarity: a good place to be.

I work with individuals and couples across the sexuality spectrum, providing a safe space to explore sexual, relational, and life challenges. I offer empathic and non-judgemental therapy, where we will explore both your struggles and successes, learning together how you want to move through life and relationships. I am trained in a variety of approaches, which we will utilize in whatever way best fits your needs and goals.

I believe that treatment works best when it is tailored to the personality and individual needs of each client. Rather than relying on one theoretical perspective, I utilize a multi-modal approach, which consistently yields faster and longer-lasting results. My approach to treatment is grounded in psychodynamic and inter-personal theory, which I integrate with cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and solution-focused techniques. I have extensive experience dealing with a variety of psychological problems, including depression, anxiety, and trauma, as well as work-related, phase of life, marital , and family issues.

Sometimes we feel stuck, that life has become unmanageable, or that we simply will never find happiness. Please know that I understand. I provide practical, empathetic, non-judgmental psychotherapy grounded in scientific research. My approach is collaborative, and I strive to create a warm, genuine, authentic space where you can come to understand and identify the unhelpful patterns in your life, and choose to make adjustments that clear your path forward.

Whether with partners, family, friends, children, parents or at your work, relationships are the centerpieces of our lives.

It is always a vulnerable choice we make when we decide to attend therapy. Therefore, it is only natural to look for a safe place to be ourselves. To speak, be heard/validated, and to feel secure. Most importantly, to feel listened to without the fear of judgement. I understand. I aim to provide such a place for you where we can also collaborate, help promote self-growth, and self-exploration within your relationship with yourself or with others. Those are difficult situations to navigate and to find yourselves in and the therapeutic process is a personal journey, so seeking the right kind of therapist is important.

I make the room safe, no matter the issue you bring to me. Everyone could use therapeutic support or help achieving greater pleasure in their life at some point, whether it is to cope with a break up, figure out relationship patterns that you want to change, contend with anxiety, loneliness or depression, grieve a loss, process major life transitions or work on a marriage .

It may sound simple, but when you are troubled and can't figure out what's in the way of achieving your goals, talk can really be the best medicine. Whether it's relationship disappointment, stalled career plans, new parent challenges, the shock of retirement or other life transitions, painful baffling emotions, self-defeating behaviors or use of substances in a harmful way, talking with someone trained to help you make sense of things can lead to greater control over your actions, choices and decisions.
