I have nearly 15 years of experience supporting adults and professionals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. I’m licensed in NY, NJ, Arizona and Florida, and my focus is on creating a warm, safe, and collaborative space where we can work toward your goals together.
I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful growth. You are the captain of the ship, guiding the direction of your healing, and I serve as a trusted co-captain helping you navigate the course. I may offer tools or “homework” to support your progress between sessions, but I also value simply holding space for you to reflect and be yourself.
Compassion and integrity are central to my therapeutic process—I show up with consistency, care, and professionalism so you always feel supported and understood. Together, we’ll focus on cultivating deeper self-awareness, emotional balance, and more fulfilling connections in your life.
I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 36 years. I am a clinical psychologist with a PhD from Duke University, and postdoctoral training in couple and family therapy. I work with people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and anger management; with troubled kids and teens and parents seeking new parenting techniques; with people having trouble getting organized and paying attention; and with people challenged in their ability to form and maintain healthy relationships. I specialize in couple therapy, helping couples to communicate and solve problems more effectively.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in New York
Searching for couples therapists in New York starts with what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy can support communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Needs and available therapists can vary across urban and rural parts of New York, so it helps to look for training that matches your situation. Some therapists are licensed marriage and family therapists, and others list specific couples approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, in their profiles.
Finding one therapist who works for both partners can take more coordination than an individual search. In New York City, Buffalo, Albany, and other parts of the state, consider whether in-person sessions or virtual appointments fit both schedules. You may also want to compare appointment availability, session structure, and whether a therapist offers a brief initial consultation to assess fit for couples. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their role, communication style, and experience with relationship concerns before you book.
The cost of couples therapy in New York can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your location and plan. Browse New York couples therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
