Gottman Referral Network

About

Whether you are doing relatively well and just need some short-term counseling, or are in a full-blown crisis mode and feeling in despair, you are more than welcome in my office. I provide a safe, calming environment where you can show up however you need to.

Many couples are anxious, scared and reluctant to start therapy. There is often a fear that therapy will result in the end of the relationship. If you're worried or anxious about starting couples therapy, we can start by talking about that.

My primary goal is to provide you with the tools needed to start enhancing and re-building your relationship. At the same time, we will work on how you as a couple can understand, listen, hear, appreciate and love one another on a much deeper level.

Although I specialize in helping LGBTQ couples with the unique challenges they are often faced with, I believe that many of the difficulties that couples run into (conflict management, major life transitions, chronic illness, finding shared goals and share meaning, deepening intimacy, loss of romance and sex, etc.) fall across all areas of the gender and sexuality spectrum.

I have found my post-graduate training as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in combination with the Gottman Method to be a great way of helping couples and believe the two approaches complement each other very well. Along with my emphasis on a non-judgmental, caring approach, I hope you will find working with me to be very beneficial to your relationship.

In addition to being trained through level 3 of the Gottman Method, I have also completed the Gottman training "Treating Affairs and Trauma." I work both remotely and in-person depending on what your needs are. My office is based in New York City but I am also licensed to practice in Massachusetts.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!
