Rochester, NY · New York State · 25 Years in Practice
Most people know something is wrong
Very few know what it actually is.
25 years sitting with people in their hardest moments.
I know what this looks like underneath.
People come to me when they've tried everything else. When they're not sure if they're in the wrong relationship — or just in pain. When they've carried something so long they've forgotten there was a time before it. I don't just listen. I help you hear what you actually need.
"The fight is never really about what you're fighting about."
"You don't have to have it figured out on your own. You have been the capable one for too long. There is hope and help”
"Staying is not a failure. Leaving is not always the answer. Relationships are complicated and difficult"
You know something needs to change. You're just not sure what.
Most people walk in thinking they have a communication problem. What they actually have is a connection problem — and those require a very different kind of work. After 25 years, I know the difference.
Couples stuck in the same fight
You keep having the same argument. Different words, same outcome. That's not a communication problem — that's a pattern. I help couples understand what's actually driving the cycle, so they can finally break it.
Young families under pressure
Nobody tells you how hard the early years are on a relationship. The exhaustion, the shifting roles, the intimacy that quietly disappears. I help couples get through this without losing each other in the process.
Relationships at a crossroads
Something happened — or something slowly disappeared. You're not sure if what you have is worth saving, or if you've already made up your mind and just need someone to help you see it clearly. I've sat with both.
Individuals who need a place to process
Anxiety. Depression. A transition you didn't see coming. Or just a persistent feeling that something needs to change and you don't know where to start. Therapy with me is a place to put it down and look at it.
I don't just listen.
I help you hear what you actually need.
Most therapy stays on the surface — managing symptoms, practicing scripts, learning techniques. I go deeper. To the patterns underneath. To what's actually driving the disconnection, the conflict, the anxiety. That's where real change lives.
The fight is never about what you're fighting about
I help couples and individuals understand what's actually underneath the surface conflict. That shift alone — from symptoms to source — changes everything.
I translate between men and women
Men and women experience and express emotion differently. I bridge that gap — so each person in the finally understands what they have been trying to say. That's often when things begin to shift.
This is honest, deep work
I won't promise a quick fix — because the things that bring people to therapy don't have quick fixes. I will promise that the work we do together will mean something lasting.
Find the right support
All three areas are deeply connected. Most people find that the work touches more than one.

A space to process what you've been carrying. Anxiety, depression, transitions, or just a persistent sense that something needs to change. You don't need to arrive with clarity — that's what we build together.
Couples Therapy in Rochester, NY
For couples who love each other but can't stop hurting each other. For relationships that have lost their footing. For partners who want to understand each other — not just coexist. This is the work I'm known for.
Sex Therapy in Rochester, NY
Intimacy issues rarely exist in isolation. Mismatched desire, a relationship that's lost its physical connection, the weight of past experience — addressed with complete honesty and zero judgment.
I've spent twenty-five years dedicated to one thing understanding what people actually need emotionally —
and helping them get there”.
Most people can tell you what's wrong. Very few can tell you why. I've built my entire career around that gap — the space between what someone says is the problem and what's actually driving it. My work is grounded in how people attach, how families shape us, how relationships either wound us or heal us, and how intimacy — emotional and physical — sits at the center of almost everything. I don't work on the surface. I never have.
