—— EMOTIONALLY FOCUSED THERAPY IN NEW YORK, NY & NJ

Affirming, evidence-based therapy for trauma, relationships & LGBTQ+ identities.

Starting therapy takes courage.

It reflects a willingness to turn toward your inner world and relationships, and I feel honored to accompany people as they navigate that process. I believe each of us has the ability to grow and change, no matter where we are beginning.

In our work together—whether individually or as a couple—you may find opportunities to heal old wounds showing up in the present, strengthen your communication with others, and expand your capacity for closeness and self-understanding.

What makes this possible is a compassionate and trusting therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a safe, curious, and affirming space where all parts of you are welcome, and where new possibilities for healing and connection can emerge.

FOR COUPLES

You’ve tried everything to feel closer, yet somehow you still end up feeling misunderstood or alone.

You don’t have to keep having the same fight. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy helps you and your partner slow down, understand what’s really happening underneath the arguments, and find your way back to each other.

FOR INDIVIDUALS

Maybe you believe that critical inner voice, hold back from being fully seen, or feel stuck in old patterns.

Therapy is a place to pause and to get curious about what's really going on — and to explore it with kindness instead of judgment.
