I am a licensed couples therapist in New York City, New Jersey and Florida. I specialize in helping couples navigate chronic stress and conflict related to extended family, including in-law relationships, family boundaries, and ongoing family-of-origin dynamics. These patterns often create tension in the relationship, leading to frequent arguments, divided loyalties, difficulty setting boundaries, and ongoing stress between partners. I help couples understand how extended family dynamics impact communication, trust, and emotional connection, and work with them to create healthier boundaries and strong
Together, we’ll slow down the conflict, understand what’s fueling it, and uncover the deeper needs beneath the frustration: to feel seen, respected, supported, and emotionally safe. I help couples identify the patterns shaped by early experiences, unspoken expectations, and the stressors of modern life.
In our work, conversations shift from blame to understanding, repair, and reconnection. Whether you're preparing for a future together or trying to find your way back to each other, I offer a direct yet compassionate space to strengthen your bond, rebuild trust, and create lasting change.
