Individual and Couples Therapy for Relationship Issues in NYC

Are your relationships leaving you feeling lonely, hurt, or overwhelmed? Maybe you find yourself repeating the same unhelpful patterns over and over, like always being in relationship with someone emotionally unavailable or making excuses for someone after they treat you badly. You may begin to wonder "why does this keep happening to me?" Often, it's hard to know why these things continue to occur, and what you really want is for the situation to magically disappear.

It can be painful to feel stuck in dynamics you don’t fully understand. You may long for closeness but find yourself pulling away when it’s offered. Or maybe you stay in relationships that don’t meet your needs because the thought of leaving feels too scary or sad. More than anything, you may wish the confusion and hurt would just go away.

Often, these patterns aren’t random, rather they have roots in past experiences and the ways we learned to relate to others. As a therapist specializing in relationships, I help you to understand these deeper patterns and recognize why certain dynamics keep repeating, ultimately giving you the insight and tools to build healthier, more fulfilling connections.

The ways we relate to others often reflect early experiences and learned patterns, like how we first learned to seek connection, handle conflict, or manage disappointment. While these patterns may have helped you in the past, often these patterns become outdated as you reach new stages in life. Despite no longer working for you, these patterns can continue to shape the relationships we choose, the roles we take on, and the emotions we struggle with in connection to others. I help you explore these relationships in therapy, including their dynamics, with curiosity and compassion.

Together, we’ll identify recurring relationship patterns that may be keeping you stuck, understand how your past experiences influence your current connections, strengthen your ability to communicate needs and set boundaries, and support you in building relationships that feel more balanced, fulfilling, and authentic.

By gaining insight into these deeper patterns, you can begin to respond to relationships from a place of clarity and choice rather than repeating old cycles or reacting out of fear. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can reflect, practice new ways of relating, and feel more confident in yourself and your connections.

Therapy offers a space to slow down and look at what happens between you and the people you care about. Over time, you can develop a stronger sense of self in relationships, allowing you to be able to stay open, honest, and connected, even when things feel hard. You’ll learn to recognize your needs, speak up with compassion, and manage strong emotions when they arise.

I understand how daunting the idea of reaching out for help can be. It takes strength, but you don't have to navigate this all alone. With support and understanding, you can create relationships that feel more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with who you are.
