About Me
Report
I grew up in New Rochelle, a suburb of NYC. I then lived in Manhattan for ten years during college and graduate school, and escaped the madness for the wilds of Maine to be with the sweet man I'm still married to after 31 years. I am a licensed, board certified pyschotherapist and relationship coach in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Report
The Couples Center PLLC is my private psychotherapy practice located at 118 Maplewood Ave. in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Discernment Counseling
Report
If you or your spouse are considering divorce but are not completely sure that's the best path, you are in a tough spot. Discernment Counseling is a new way of helping couples where one person is "leaning out" of the relationship, and not sure that regular marriage counseling would help-and the other is "leaning in"-that is, interested in rebuilding the marriage.
