Intimacy and Deepening Connections
Individual, Couple and Group Work 

Individual Therapy
Building intimacy with yourself is the process of self discovery and acceptance. Many people experience confusion about their feelings, and are uncertain what they are responding to and if their feelings are Okay. We often treat our emotions as if they are a burden to others, when they are actually a window into our deeper selves. Intimacy with the self is the foundation for fulfilling and healthy intimacy with others, and therefore it is also an important area of work in individual therapy.

Couples Therapy
Relationships are sacred. It’s in our relationships where we learn the most about ourselves and others. This dynamic experience begins with birth and continues throughout life. Often, when an intimate partnership feels at its worst it is working harder than ever. Struggles that show up as feeling disconnected, in constant conflict, and resentment are actually opportune times for moving towards deeper intimacty. We use dynamic and non-violent communication to facilitate an exploration into each other’s emotional triggers and defenses in order to build legitimacy and acceptance that moves the relationship out of cycles of conflict and disconnect and into a deeper and bolder loving intimacy.

Group Work
Social Anxiety Group | Post Quarantine, Covid Pandemic
This group is for people who are experiencing a heightened sense of social anxiety after isolating during the pandemic. If you had social anxiety before the pandemic or developed it during, this group will help you navigate back into social environments in a supportive, non-demanding way. Working at your own pace, you will experience relief from your anxiety and the good feeling that comes with feeling connected and cared for.

Intimacy Group
This group is for those who are currently in or between relationships, and who have difficulty maintaining trust and intimacy, and feel disconnected from deep love. Additionally, the group is for people who have never been in an intimate relationship, but want to be. Group participants work in the “here and now” using relational aspects occurring within the present to discover their own defense mechanisms and false narratives. Within a few sessions, participants will begin to see how their defenses influence communication outcomes and emotional responses. Members help each other unpack unhealthy narratives and encourage deepening connections.

Each group consists of 6 - 8 people and includes all ethnicities (must be English speaking), sexual orientations and gender identities.  Ages range from 20s to 50s. The groups meet in Brooklyn and online. I was trained in group therapy at the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society
