Couples Therapy in Greenpoint, Brooklyn
I feel alone in this relationship.
We love each other,
but we keep missing each other.
Small things escalate.
No matter how hard I try, it never feels like enough..
The cycle can change.
Connection can feel possible again.
Why Couples Get Stuck
When a couple shows up for therapy together, it shows their commitment to the relationship remains strong.
Over time, the pressures of life can begin to strain that bond. Small interactions escalate into arguments. Often one partner expresses their distress more openly, while the other withdraws and carries it more quietly.
Yet both of you still share the same deep human need for connection.
But the patterns that develop between you can begin to get in the way.
How Couples Therapy Helps
Many couples come to therapy when things have become very escalated. The first step is slowing things down, especially those difficult moments when interactions start to spiral.
Together we begin to recognize the patterns of interaction that keep you stuck, allowing you to challenge and interrupt them.
Often beneath criticism or avoidance are deeper longings for connection, or feelings of hurt, fear, or inadequacy. When these experiences can be shared and understood by your partner, the tone of the interaction begins to soften.
As the work progresses, couples create more meaningful and gentler ways of relating. The relationship can begin to feel like a source of support again, rather than a place of conflict.
Working With Me
We meet for 50 minute weekly sessions in-person.
I don’t take sides or pass judgment. My role is to slow things down and help you begin to recognize the patterns that are harming the relationship.
My approach is primarily informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Together we work to understand the deeper and more vulnerable emotions that often sit underneath your most difficult moments.
The goal is to create space in those moments — to pause, understand your own and your partner’s deeper longings, and begin to move toward each other rather than pulling apart.
Starting Couples Therapy
We begin with a 15-minute virtual consultation to see whether we might be a good fit to work together.
If we decide to move forward, sessions take place weekly at my welcoming office in Greenpoint.
Our early sessions usually include some time understanding your history together, before focusing more closely on the interactions happening between you now.
