Long Island Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R, CCTP
Every relationship hits rough patches, but when communication breaks down, it can feel like you are speaking different languages or drifting completely apart. Utilizing the research-backed Gottman Method, I help couples move past defensive cycles, resentment, and gridlocked conflict. Whether you are looking to heal from a betrayal, deepen your emotional and physical intimacy, or simply learn how to navigate disagreements as a team, we will work together to rebuild a resilient, loving foundation.
