Couples Counseling Therapists in New York, NY
Having said that, I believe the therapeutic relationship is central.
Therapy is sometimes seen as intended to fix a problem, but I think of it as more about finding a strength. The world is full of messages selling us the idea that there is something wrong with us. .....

Many seek psychotherapy when suffering proves more uncomfortable than starting a process of self-examination that may itself feel scary. Some feel anxious about finding a therapist to embark on a healing path. Others not in crisis may wish to deepen their self-knowledge and discover new priorities.

I provide a space and guidance that support exploration to enhance self-knowledge, envision your dreams and live your fullest possible life.

From this place of clarity, you can begin to build a new, more compassionate relationship with yourself and begin to take the steps needed to build the life that you want
When the nagging voice in your head that wonders why? why is life so hard for me? becomes loud enough, sometimes you realize you need help finding the answer to that question. Being a human in 2025 can be a terrifying thing. Our society normalizes harm. Our families normalize harm. When painful things happen, we often have to disconnect from parts of ourselves in order to survive. In that self-abandonment, we learn to neglect ourselves, manifesting in our health, finances, career or sometimes even actively harm ourselves in the name of avoiding the true source of our suffering.

Such a relationship examines impasses, & simultaneously converts them to opportunities.
Use of short-and long-term client goal-directed techniques, as well as ego psychology and cognitive behavioral skills, promotes insight and healing.

My practice focuses on women's mental health/ fertility / pregnancy / postpartum (incl. new dads & LGBTQ families), grief (more specifically early mother loss, and pregnancy loss), and relationship issues.
I have a broad outlook of what it means to be "normal." I believe therapy is for everyone, as none of us go through life unaffected by its many complexities. This is no weakness: it's part of being human. I view symptoms of anxiety or depression as messengers of unmet needs. They're trying to tell us something.

The most important relationship you will have is with yourself.
Healthy relationships provide us with support, connection, and a deeper meaning in our lives. They are the fruits of our labor and, sometimes, the thorns of our circumstances. However they may show up in your life, you might have wondered about overcoming these obstacles, rearranging things in your life, changing the quality of your relationships, revitalizing your circumstances, redefining the meaning of your life, resetting it & rebuilding it to a higher ground. It starts & ends with you, that is where change happens.
