Artful Couples Therapy is a private psychotherapy practice in New York City. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist treating individuals, couples, and families experiencing relational distress. I specialize in couples therapy, and offer committed-relationship counseling, pre-marital counseling, and marriage counseling.
Couples therapy is an intimate process that involves more than skill--it requires artistry. Your relationship is unique, nuanced, and complicated. You may need someone to help you navigate issues specific to your relationship or marriage. My job is to gently untangle the complex web you have woven.
My work as a Marriage and Family Therapist is informed by decades of experience in the professional performing arts. After enjoying a rich career as a singer, writer, producer, and voiceover actor, I transitioned to the field of mental health. Skills I honed in the theatre—active listening, trust-building, and authentic communication—are the basis of productive therapeutic relationships and serve my patients well.
Relationships are not linear, and neither is couples therapy. The best place to start is in the here and now. Addressing what is happening in the moment leads to understanding, empathy, possibility, change, and a healthier future.

Starting couples therapy is a brave undertaking. I am certain the thought of airing out your dirty laundry in front of a complete stranger makes you feel uncomfortable and overwhelmed. Please take a breath, and try to relax. Helping couples is what I do, and making you comfortable is my job. I will walk you through the process, and do my best to create an environment that is warm, collaborative, and productive. You will begin by sharing only what you are ready to share, and we will go from there. I think you will be surprised at how easy it is to speak openly and honestly when you are in a place where you feel validated and respected.
Secure Zoom sessions allow for flexibility. You and your partner can attend sessions together, or from different locations.
I offer a 15-minute consultation, free of charge.

This is your therapy, and we work to achieve your goals. I am here to support you, your partner, and your family as you move forward. I will help you clarify and establish practical and realistic goals. If your desire is to heal and enhance your relationship, that is what we will work on. If you have a specific issue causing you distress, that is what we will address. In cases where people believe reconciliation is no longer possible, I will carefully guide you. We will work towards a healthy separation to minimize pain and fallout.
For couples therapy to work, both parties must commit to showing up and telling the truth. If you are withholding information, we can meet separately to discuss how to share your secrets with your partner in session, with my support. My concern is the health and well-being of all parties.
You each have your own unique version of the facts related to why your relationship has deteriorated. You each believe you are right. Communication has broken down, and emotions are running high. Chances are, you are blaming all this dysfunction on your partner. But, there are two sides to every story. In couples therapy, it is crucial th
You each have your own unique version of the facts related to why your relationship has deteriorated. You each believe you are right. Communication has broken down, and emotions are running high. Chances are, you are blaming all this dysfunction on your partner. But, there are two sides to every story. In couples therapy, it is crucial that both parties are heard, validated, and allowed equal time.
So, let's get both stories on the table. Listen to your partner's version of what has happened, and try to understand the problem as they see it. That's when the real work begins.
I do not take sides. I listen, support, and gather information so I am able to help implement solutions.
Artful Couples Therapy will keep your payment information on file. Sessions are charged in advance. Up until 24 hours before the start of the session, you may cancel without penalty. No-shows, and clients who cancel with less than 24 hours notice, will be charged in full for the type of service booked.
