Gay Couples Therapy in NYC

For some couples, having a gay therapist doesn’t matter. For most of mine, it matters a lot at the start: a shared baseline, no translating, no wondering whether your therapist privately judges you. What matters most over time is the quality of the work. The shared starting point buys speed and trust.

I’m an AASECT-certified sex therapist and licensed clinical social worker who specializes in the things people have the hardest time talking about: erectile dysfunction, low desire, performance anxiety, painful sex, infidelity, and the slow erosion of intimacy that happens over the course of a lifespan. More than half my practice is dedicated to helping couples and individuals work through exactly these kinds of concerns.

My approach is direct and evidence-based. I draw on emotionally focused therapy to help couples understand the attachment patterns driving their conflicts, psychodynamic work to uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface, and specialized sex therapy techniques grounded in decades of clinical research. My clinical insights have been featured in Men’s Health.

I hold an MA in Trauma and Crisis Studies from Tel Aviv University, an MSW from Yeshiva University, and earned certification in sex therapy through the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes.

I live in Brooklyn with my husband and our dog, Bernie. When I’m not in session, I write and produce music.
