It is common for couples to feel stuck.
My approach is tailored to your relationship’s specific situation and needs.
I have advanced training in Emotions-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman therapy. Both of these models are evidence-based treatments that help improve communication, repair injuries, and rebuild and strengthen emotional bonds and connections.
Interactions with each other stop bringing joy, and communication is strained, escalated, or non-existent. Partners either constantly fight over seemingly little things or become distant and avoid discussing what matters. As a result, the relationship becomes tense and unfulfilling, emotional distance grows, and both partners feel disconnected, stressed, lonely, angry, and resentful.
Time is not on your side. With time, the negative cycle of disconnection and conflict only strengthens. It can lead to a higher level of escalation where the fights get more potent, louder, and nasty, or it can come to total estrangement where partners become emotional strangers and live under the same roof as two roommates. Relational discord leads to high stress levels, emotional discomfort, and even physical illness.
Are you struggling with one or more of these challenges?
- You are stuck in the same arguments again and again?
- You feel disconnected from your partner, not seen or heard by them?
- You feel that your partner doesn’t understand you, doesn’t recognize your efforts or looks at you with a critical eye?
- You are struggling with past emotional injuries or a current major crisis in the relationship (e.g., infidelity, betrayal of trust)?
- You are hopeless and unsure if this relationship has the potential to heal and improve?
- One or both of you lost any hope, and are considering divorce or separation, and what to get more clarity before pulling the trigger?
- You are in a new relationship and want to establish healthy patterns of communication, enhance connection, and create a deeper bond with your partner?
- Are you dealing with life transitions (e.g., the birth of a child, moving, loss, or death in the family) that are affecting your relationship and communication?
You no longer have to try to fix your relationship on your own.
I will be honored to accompany you on your healing journey of improving your relationship.
In couples therapy, we will work on taming your negative cycle, restoring hope and trust, and gaining a fresh perspective on your relationship. As you feel more connected with your partner, finding practical solutions to life problems will become easier.
Take a moment to visualize…
The best, loving version of yourself and of your partner, where you can elevate each other and create a “safe haven” in your home where you would feel connected, supported, and more equipped to handle the ups and downs of life…
This is something we will be working towards together.
I offer couples therapy in-person in my Manhattan office or online throughout New York and Florida.
