Couples Therapy in Manhattan

Relationships can be among life's greatest sources of connection, meaning, and growth. They can also become places where people feel misunderstood, disconnected, hurt, or alone.

Many couples come to therapy after finding themselves caught in recurring conflicts, emotional distance, or patterns that neither partner fully understands. Others seek support during periods of transition, uncertainty, betrayal, parenting challenges, or major life changes.

Meaningful change often begins when both partners feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. Couples therapy provides a space to slow down, explore what is happening beneath the surface, and develop a deeper understanding of one another and the relationship they are creating together.

Whether you are struggling to reconnect after a painful experience, feeling stuck in repetitive arguments, navigating questions about intimacy or commitment, or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship, therapy offers an opportunity to better understand yourselves and each other.

Understanding the Patterns Beneath the Conflict

Many couples come to therapy because they feel stuck. They may find themselves having the same argument repeatedly, struggling to recover from a rupture in the relationship, or wondering whether they can move forward together.

While communication difficulties are often part of the problem, lasting change frequently requires looking beneath the surface. Relationships can reveal fears, expectations, vulnerabilities, and emotional patterns that may have developed long before the current relationship began.

Together, we explore these dynamics with curiosity, honesty, and respect. Rather than focusing solely on conflict resolution, the goal is to understand the patterns that repeatedly bring couples into distress so that meaningful and lasting change can occur.

Feeling Seen and Understood

Many couples arrive feeling misunderstood by one another. They may know how to argue, defend themselves, or explain their position, yet still feel unseen within the relationship.

One of the primary goals of couples therapy is to create a space where each person's experience can be heard and understood more fully. As understanding deepens, partners often discover new ways of relating that are grounded in empathy, curiosity, compassion, and respect.

The goal is not to determine who is right or wrong. Rather, it is to better understand the emotional realities, vulnerabilities, hopes, and needs that each partner brings into the relationship.

When couples begin to feel understood, the relationship itself often begins to change.

A Jungian Approach to Couples Therapy

Conflicts with a partner can illuminate recurring emotional patterns, fears of abandonment or rejection, unmet needs, family-of-origin influences, and unconscious material that is projected onto one another.

Together, we will explore not only what is happening between you, but also the unconscious dynamics influencing the relationship. Lasting change often occurs when couples begin to understand the patterns they are unconsciously repeating and develop new ways of relating to one another.

This work is not about assigning blame. It is about developing greater awareness, understanding, and emotional flexibility so that both partners can move forward with greater clarity and intention.

Common Areas of Focus

I work with couples navigating a wide range of concerns, including:

Communication difficulties
Emotional distance and disconnection
Affairs and betrayal
Sexuality and intimacy concerns
Life transitions and major changes
Parenting stress
Cultural differences
Non-monogamous relationships
Questions about commitment and the future of the relationship
Recurring conflicts and relationship patterns

I welcome couples from diverse backgrounds, identities, and relationship structures, including married and unmarried couples, heterosexual and LGBTQ+ couples, monogamous and consensually non-monogamous relationships.

What Meaningful Change Can Look Like

Success in couples therapy is not measured solely by whether a couple remains together.

For some couples, meaningful change involves rebuilding trust, deepening intimacy, improving communication, and creating a stronger relationship. For others, it may involve gaining clarity about the future of the relationship and making thoughtful decisions about how to move forward.

I do not view my role as deciding whether a couple should stay together or separate. Rather, my role is to help each partner better understand themselves, one another, and the relationship they are creating together.

Whether the outcome is renewed connection, greater honesty, improved communication, or a respectful separation, successful therapy helps people move forward with greater awareness, understanding, and authenticity.

Meaningful change begins when both partners feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted.

Considering Couples Therapy?

Couples often wait a long time before reaching out for support. By the time they begin therapy, many feel discouraged, disconnected, uncertain, or exhausted from trying to solve the same problems on their own.

The work begins with a conversation. A clinical consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns, ask questions about the process, and explore whether working together feels like the right fit.

If you are seeking a deeper understanding of your relationship and the patterns shaping it, couples therapy with a Jungian approach, may provide a meaningful path forward.
