Relationship & Couples Therapist in New York

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing virtual psychotherapy to individuals and couples throughout New York State, specializing in couples therapy, relationship therapy, and affair recovery. I earned my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh and bring over a decade of clinical experience to my work.

Earlier in my career, I served as Director of Clinical Operations at a nonprofit mental health agency, overseeing outpatient mental health and substance use programs, family services, and care management for individuals with complex and persistent mental health needs. This leadership experience strengthened my clinical judgment, deepened my understanding of trauma and crisis intervention, and shaped my structured, results-oriented approach to therapy.

Over time, my work became increasingly focused on relationships. Today, I specialize in couples therapy, affair recovery, and relationship therapy for individuals. I support clients navigating infidelity, chronic conflict, unhealthy relational patterns, divorce, attachment wounds, and emotional abuse.

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional trained in:

• Relational Life Therapy (RLT)
  
• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
  
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  
• Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Tapping
  
• Polyvagal Theory
  
• Person-Centered Therapy
  
• Sex and Gender Issues in Couples Therapy
  
• Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
  
• Motivational Interviewing
  
• Attachment Theory
  
• Somatic Experiencing (Peter Levine)
  
• Family Systems Constellations
  

While I draw from multiple evidence-based modalities, Relational Life Therapy remains the foundation of my couples work because of its clarity, accountability, and focus on lasting change.

My approach is active, direct, and compassionate. I address power imbalances when they exist and help clients identify the survival strategies that keep them stuck. Whether working with couples or individuals, my goal is to create meaningful, sustainable change that strengthens emotional safety, respect, and connection.

I provide virtual therapy services across New York State.
