Couples Therapy
(Virtual Sessions in NY, NJ & MA)
Couples therapy is a supportive, structured space to help you communicate more effectively, strengthen your relationship, prepare for major transitions, or separate peacefully when needed. All sessions are held online, allowing you to meet from the privacy and comfort of your own home.
What Couples Therapy Helps With
Relationships go through shifts, challenges, and seasons of growth. Couples therapy creates a space where both partners feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward together — or separately, if that’s the healthiest choice.
Couples often seek therapy for:
Improving communication and understanding
Reducing recurring conflict or misunderstandings
Rebuilding trust and connection
Pre-marital preparation and strengthening foundations
Navigating difficult transitions or decisions
Separating respectfully without involving the courts
This work focuses on clarity, compassion, and practical tools that you can start using immediately outside of session.
My Approach to Couples Therapy
Collaborative & Practical
My style is active, engaged, and skill-based. You won’t just talk about your relationship — you’ll learn communication strategies, scripts, reflection prompts, and tools to apply between sessions. My therapy approach is participatory: you’ll receive worksheets, logs, and exercises designed to reinforce progress from week to week.
Strength-Based and Solution-Focused
We identify what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change. Sessions are structured, direct, and supportive so both partners feel grounded and guided.
Tailored to Your Relationship’s Stage
Whether you’re preparing for marriage, working through conflict, rebuilding connection, or navigating separation, therapy is customized to where you are and what you need.
Pre-Marital Counseling (Prepare for the Next Step)
Pre-marital counseling helps you step into marriage with alignment, intention, and confidence. Together, we explore:
Communication styles
Expectations about roles and responsibilities
Conflict patterns
Family dynamics
Finances
Values & long-term goals
This work gives couples the clarity and skills to build a strong, resilient foundation before saying “I do.”
Improving Communication & Reducing Conflict
Many couples seek therapy because communication isn’t landing the way it used to — or conflict has become a cycle that feels stuck on repeat.
In these sessions, you’ll learn:
How to express needs clearly
How to reduce emotional reactivity
How to respond rather than react
How anxiety and stress impact communication
How to rebuild trust and connection
How to interrupt cycles of conflict
With gentle guidance and a practical, step-by-step framework, couples begin to feel calmer, clearer, and more connected.
Amicable Separation Support (Avoid Courts When Possible)
Some couples enter therapy after deciding to separate. This can be a deeply emotional — but also deeply important — phase of healing.
Separation therapy helps couples:
Communicate respectfully
Reduce conflict during the transition
Create a plan that supports both partners
Maintain stability for children
Avoid the stress, cost, and escalation of involving attorneys unnecessarily
The goal is to support a peaceful, cooperative separation grounded in clarity and mutual respect.
