Couples Therapy & Marriage Counseling
Do you feel like your relationship is at a standstill? Are you and your partner caught in the same painful argument over and over again? Perhaps you feel more like roommates than partners, or you sense a growing emotional distance and long for greater closeness, understanding, and intimacy. These experiences are common—and they don’t have to mean the end of your relationship.
Couples therapy offers a supportive space to slow things down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and reconnect in meaningful ways. Whether you are dating, engaged, married, or navigating a long-term partnership, couples therapy and marriage counseling can help you strengthen your bond and create healthier patterns of communication and connection.
I provide couples therapy to partners throughout the Hudson Valley, including New Paltz, Kingston, Poughkeepsie, and Newburgh, as well as online for New York State residents. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and focused on helping both partners feel heard, understood, and valued.
In couples therapy, you and your partner will learn how to communicate more effectively, express your feelings and needs clearly, and break free from unproductive cycles of conflict. Together, we work to identify the patterns that keep you stuck and develop practical tools to foster trust, emotional safety, and intimacy. Even small shifts can lead to meaningful change when both partners feel supported and guided.
Couples seek therapy for many reasons, including challenges related to work-life balance, parenting and blended families, chronic illness, extended family stress, infidelity or breaches of trust, sexual concerns, mental health issues, and major life transitions. Some couples come to marriage counseling during times of crisis, while others seek therapy proactively to strengthen their relationship or prepare for the future.
No matter the concern, couples therapy is not about assigning blame. It is about understanding each other more deeply, learning new ways to relate, and reconnecting with the reasons you chose one another in the first place. With support, relationships can heal, grow, and evolve—even after long periods of disconnection.
If you recognize yourselves in any of these struggles, I invite you to reach out. I offer a complimentary consultation to discuss your concerns and explore whether couples therapy or marriage counseling is the right next step for you. Together, we can work toward rebuilding connection, strengthening communication, and sustaining love over time.
