Dating and Relationship Therapy in Brooklyn and virtual
A place to heal patterns and rebuild connections
Dating and relationships can feel confusing, overwhelming, and emotionally draining—especially when you keep finding yourself in the same cycles. Therapy offers a space to pause, make sense of what’s happening, and build the kind of relationships you actually want. Whether you're dating, navigating early-stage relationships, or trying to rewrite long-held patterns, this work can help you create connection that feels secure, reciprocal, and emotionally safe.
Why people seek therapy for dating + relationships
Many people come to therapy when dating feels exhausting, relationships feel complicated, or they're repeating patterns they can’t quite break. We’ll slow things down so you can understand what’s underneath the frustration, anxiety, miscommunication, self-doubt, or disconnect. Together, we’ll look at the stories you learned in past relationships, the needs you’re not expressing, and the patterns that keep showing up—so you can move toward relationships that feel nourishing instead of depleting.
Therapy for dating + relationships can help you…
Break the cycle of choosing emotionally unavailable or inconsistent partners
Understand your attachment patterns and feel more grounded in intimacy
Build communication skills that help you advocate for your needs clearly
Rebuild trust after past relationship hurt

Navigate dating burnout, ghosting, and modern relationship stressors
Explore desire, attraction, and what you truly want in a partner

What to expect in Therapy for Dating and Relationships?
In therapy, we’ll explore what happens for you emotionally in moments of closeness, conflict, or uncertainty—and learn how to navigate those moments differently. You’ll gain tools to communicate more openly, respond rather than react, soothe your nervous system, and understand your needs without shame.
Our goal is for you to feel seen, supported, and empowered as you build the kind of relationships that match your values and the life you want. This isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about understanding your patterns, healing what hasn’t been resolved, and creating connections rooted in self-trust, clarity, and emotional safety.
We use Relational Therapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy to help you break old cycles, strengthen your sense of self, and create relationships that feel secure, connected, and deeply aligned.
