My training is in clinical psychology, with over thirty years of experience in the field. I am licensed in New York and Florida. By scope of my practice, I am a general practitioner, with interest in treating persons with anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic issues. My approach tends to encourage free emotional expression in the service of resolving psychological trauma and conflict. I am exclusively practicing via Teletherapy and prefer working through Zoom and other HIPPA approved platforms. I require minimal preliminary paperwork and appreciate a 24-hour notice for any changes.

At Feeling Good Psychotherapy, we care deeply about the individuals who come to us with a desire to feel more happiness in their lives. For Aristotle, the most notable of the metaphysical philosophers, happiness is the highest desire and ambition of all human beings. The ancient Greeks also believed happiness is attainable; something one cultivates within oneself, and this 2000-year-old approach to enlightenment is strikingly similar to a new scientifically-proven therapeutic approach called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).

As a psychotherapist, marital and family therapist practicing for over 25 years, my goal is to work with individuals,
couples
or families, no matter how challenging the issues. Many people come seeking help for the first time, while others have been unsuccessful in other therapies, often for long periods of time. Some are very clear about what they want help with and some are ambivalent and need to define what it is they hope will change.

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.
