Couples Therapy in NYC for Anxious & Avoidant Attachment, Conflict & Communication
Are you both trying so hard to make it work… that you've lost sight of each other?
Couples don't come to therapy because they stopped caring.
They come in because they do care and they're exhausted from having the same fight, the same pattern, the same emotional disconnection, without the guidance and tools to break it.
Maybe your relationship looks like this:
CYCLE 1: One of you shuts down. The other chases. The more one pulls away, the more the other pushes. Until someone explodes or goes cold.
CYCLE 2: One of you keeps the peace at all costs. Swallows the hurt. Agrees to avoid conflict. Until the resentment gets too heavy to hide.
CYCLE 3: You both say things you don't mean. The fight escalates fast, nobody feels heard, and you don't know how to find your way back after.
If any of this sounds familiar, THIS is exactly the work we do together
Here's what couples therapy with me actually looks like
In our work together, we slow that cycle down. We look at the patterns pulling you both into blame, defensiveness, or shutdown — and where those reactions actually come from. So you can finally make sense of why you keep ending up here.
This isn't just "talk about your feelings and hope things improve." We look at your attachment styles, your nervous system responses, and the communication patterns you each brought into this relationship long before conflict became this hard.
I provide homework between sessions — not graded, no pressure, but a real commitment to each other outside the room.
You'll build real skills together:
Communicate in ways your partner can actually hear
Regulate your reactions so conflict doesn't escalate
Repair after arguments instead of letting resentment build
Validate each other — even when you disagree
Stay connected without losing yourself
The goal isn't to never fight. It's to feel safe enough to work through it and find your way back to each other.
What changes when you do this work?
You come in, stuck in a cycle neither of you chose.
You leave with a way of understanding what's happening between you, what's being triggered, and how to come back to each other without it turning into a fight.
Couples who do this work move from:
Reactive → Regulated
Distant → Connected
Repeating the same fight → Actually repairing
Feeling like roommates → Feeling like partners agai
