Couples Counseling

in Midtown Manhattan and online

Is your relationship ready for a fresh start?

Have you and your partner moved beyond the “honeymoon phase”? Do you find yourselves stuck in the same fights or feeling distant, disconnected, and emotionally exhausted? Maybe a major life transition—like a job change, becoming parents, or relocating—has changed the dynamics between you. These moments can leave you wondering how to get back to feeling like a team again.

You’re not alone—and therapy can help. With effort and the right guidance, even deeply stuck relationships can rediscover connection, understanding, and joy. While not every relationship is salvageable, many can become a source of deep satisfaction and intimacy again.

Who Is This For?

You may benefit from couples counseling if you:

  • Feel emotionally distant, alone, or resentful toward each other

  • Get stuck in repeating conflicts and power struggles

  • Have experienced a challenge such as infidelity, financial strain, moving, or parenting stress

  • Struggle to share feelings or needs without defensiveness

  • Want to grow stronger together—as friends, partners, and family

What to Expect

As a certified Relational Life Therapy (RLT) practitioner, I specialize in helping couples:

  1. Notice patterns: We’ll explore your repeating cycles of conflict, blaming, withdrawal, and shutdowns.

  2. Understand the “why”: Through direct feedback and loving confrontation, you’ll see how individual wounds show up in relationship interactions.

  3. Heal relational wounds: We use RLT’s inner-child and self-esteem work to surface and soothe deep hurts.

  4. Learn effective tools: I’ll teach clear communication techniques—to speak vulnerably, listen safely, and reconnect with affection.

Your sessions will be a mix of honest exploration and skill-building. I often take a coach‑therapist role—pointing out blind spots, interrupting unhealthy interaction cycles, and supporting both partners in learning new ways of being together.

Rooted in culture, committed to healing

In couples counseling, we embrace the best features of cultural traditions while letting go of ones that get in the way of a loving relationship. My cultural background allows me to understand my clients’ motivations and behaviors, while helping them move towards ones that are relational and respectful.
