Couples Therapy in Midtown, NYC

When you first met, it was exciting to be together.

Everything seemed like an adventure – always learning something new about one another. The chemistry was great; affection and sex were spontaneous and intensely felt. But over time life has gotten in the way; you’ve lost the glow of those early days.

Now you’re both on automatic pilot.
If you spend any time together, you feel disconnected or worse – angry and resentful. Communication is often encumbered by the feeling that you are being criticized. When you both feel defensive, it’s hard to come back together.

We often choose one another in part because we see something in the other that we admire and feel we lack in ourselves. Sometimes those differences can help us to grow, but they can also lead to some of the conflict you feel when these differences are no longer complementary.

For 15 years, I have been helping people with relationship challenges. I’ve helped many couples navigate a range of other issues that have an impact on them such as:

• problems communicating without mutual withdrawal or anger
• major life changes such as the birth of children or moving
• career dissatisfaction
• depression and anxiety
• illness
• issues related to extended family

This will give us the opportunity to see what your challenges and goals are for the relationship. You’ll also have the chance to ask any questions you may have about the process. Then we can determine if we are a good fit.
