Dating & Emotional Connection therapy in New York City

A practical approach

Busy schedules, apps, and old patterns can make dating feel like another job. We look at what keeps repeating, from who you're drawn to, to how you open up, and practice new ways to show up so connection feels easier and more real.

Common questions

Do I need to be in a relationship to work on this?+

No. Many clients are single and want to understand their patterns before or while dating.

Do you take insurance?+

This is a private-pay practice. That means no insurance-driven diagnosis requirements, no session caps, and a plan built around your goals. Ask about out-of-network options during your consultation.

Do you offer online therapy?+

Yes. Sessions are online, so you can meet from home, the office or a quiet corner between meetings. I'm licensed in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and a NYC office is coming soon.
