“When we started with Jean I was ready to leave my marriage, looking online at studios. Never imagined our relationship could be where it is today. Jean’s ability to pinpoint what we needed to work on and her support have made all the difference.”
Welcome to Your Relationship Transformation
Every day, I meet talented, accomplished New Yorkers who excel in many areas of life—but when it comes to relationships, something still feels missing. They want their relationships to be less of a struggle. More supportive, more alive, more fun.
What they long for cuts deeper than just ending the arguments or the distance. It’s about missing the trust, connection, and love they used to feel.
If that’s you, you’ve come to the right place. You’re thoughtful, driven, and when you care about something, you’re all in. But right now, in your personal life, you’re feeling stuck. There’s an emptiness that nothing seems to fill. Friends and family offer advice, but it’s just not helping.
Maybe you’ve even thought about just accepting the status quo. But that’s not who you are.
What you need to get unstuck are the right tools and support. With your commitment and my research-based guidance, we’ll build on your strengths and work together creatively toward your goals.
My active approach combines science-backed methods and intuitive understanding to help you shift from fear-based patterns to mutual support, love, and resilience. You’ll learn how to turn conflicts into creative opportunities. Together, we’ll draw on your strengths to build a relationship that will flourish for years to come.
Every Person and Couple Is Unique
New Yorkers value excellence, and our work together draws from current research on how the nurture healthy relationships, and on what gets in the way.
I coach men and women who yearn to be as successful in their personal lives as they are in their careers. They tell me that in the midst of the busy week our sessions offer an opportunity to shift gears, get in touch with their best self, and discover more peaceful, tender, and enjoyable ways to connect
One of the joys of life in this city is the opportunity to help people who are accomplished in so many different fields — tech, law, finance, education, medicine, the arts and entertainment, design, fashion, journalism and publishing, and more. With experienced research-based support, you have the ability to create the change you want. I know first-hand the rewards and challenges of your high-pressure, high-stakes life…and how your approach to these can make your relationship struggle—or thrive.
For over 25 years as a marriage counselor and individual therapist in Manhattan, Westchester, and online, I’ve been helping driven, successful New Yorkers—and people from across the globe—build and sustain resilient, loving relationships.
My practice is international. Many of the individuals and couples I help are expats who live in New York but were born in Europe, Asia, Africa, or Latin America. I often help adult children of immigrant families and people in interfaith and multiracial relationships. I’ve helped many couples with the challenges of a long-distance relationship. Many of the people I see are highly sensitive people (HSPs).
You might be looking for a tune-up to bring more fairness, listening, and affection into your relationship. Or feeling deeply frustrated, not at all sure the warmth can ever return.

- wonder whether you’ve met “the one”
