Therapy for dating & breakups in NY, NJ & TX
Learn to love and be loved without sacrificing yourself.
You want to find "the one," but from the way you live (independent, social, financially stable) no one would guess you're lonely.
Sound familiar?
Maybe you…
- Have it together on the outside, but dating is overwhelming and you're tired of pretending it doesn't bother you.
- Keep running into the same kinds of people and wonder if something about you is the problem.
- Can't stop thinking about your last breakup, questioning what you did wrong or if you missed your chance.
- Worry time is running out while everyone else finds their person and you're still swiping.
- Feel guarded and scan for red flags, but deep down you crave connection and fear letting anyone in.
- Put on a brave face for friends and family, while wondering inside, "Will it ever be me?"
It's not too late to build the relationship and life you want, and it starts with your relationship with yourself.
How I can help
Making sense of the patterns and focusing on what you want.
Whether you're reeling from a breakup or burned out on apps and wrong fits, we'll start with what's actually been happening. You don't need to pretend you're fine. We'll look at the patterns that keep showing up, what you've carried from past relationships, and what's getting in the way of connection, with curiosity, not judgment.
Then we'll rebuild self-trust, your sense of worth, and your ability to tune into what you actually want, not what you think you should settle for. We'll work on boundaries, what makes you feel safe, and sitting with discomfort without jumping in to fix or people-please.
You are not too much. And you don't need to shrink yourself to be loved.

Questions
Frequently asked
How can therapy help me have better experiences with dating?
We'll look at what's underneath the patterns keeping you stuck, where you might be settling or protecting yourself from getting hurt, and what you really want. Therapy gives you space to be honest with yourself and move forward with clarity.
Can therapy help me through a breakup?
Absolutely. Breakups can shake your identity, your plans and your sense of safety, even when the relationship wasn't right. We'll work through it at your pace: process what happened, make sense of the pain, and start rebuilding.
Will we just talk about my childhood?
We start with where you are right now. If your past is showing up in the present (it usually does), we'll look at it gently, only when it helps you move forward. You're in the driver's seat.
What are your fees?
$200 per session. Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes; EMDR sessions may run longer.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes: Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health and Optum for clients in New York and New Jersey. For out-of-network benefits I can provide a superbill. I don't accept insurance for clients in Texas.
It's time for love that doesn't cost you your peace.
