The Practice:
I founded Metropolitan Marriage & Family Therapy, PLLC (Metropolitan MFT), a private psychotherapy practice specializing in working with couples. We assist them succeed at their relationship and cater to individuals wishing to enhance their life and relationships. The practice offers services, programs, products and resources to help our clients make the changes in their life they have been putting off or have not been able to make yet. In our supportive and resourceful format we motivate and assist our clients make the changes they have been seeking. As our expertise is in working with Couples, our resources, services, programming and products focus on Couple Success. Our approach also includes doing personal work so that a meaningful and satisfying relationship is possible. We specialize in pre-marital, individual and couple codependence, infidelity, and anger management work. I have developed innovative concepts, interventions, programs and products in these areas. My Philosophy:
I believe that we can heal and grow in the context of our relationship(s), and that self growth, improvement, development, enhancement ... is a must for our human condition. I believe that any movement we make for our Self, we also make for and enhance our relationship and the world around us. I believe there is synergy in our relationship that has not been tapped, and when this is minded and nurtured it allows the couple to transcend ordinary relating promoting mindfulness, satisfaction, peace, elation and great achievement - including procreating healthy, happy and productive offspring as members of our society. Couples are the building block of families which in turn are the pillars of our society. There is much riding on a healthy, happy, satisfying, productive and synergetic relationship! I consider our relationship as very significant and instrumental in our life. Our significant other is our "Life Partner." A title that shouldn't be taken lightly! I believe that in partnership we can conquer the world. As a team we can do anything we want. This is a unique and ripe partnership where the universe is the limit! This is Mother Nature's way of saying, "I know life can be difficult... you don't have to do it alone - especially if you are ambitious!"
My dream is to see all couples have a conscious, mindful and synergetic relationship where the partners are on the same page, connected, happy and growing individually and as a partnership! Professional Arena:
The practice is also a placement and training site for Marriage and Family Therapists in training and I have created our Internship Program and other services to assist New Professionals in their Journey. These include providing training programs, AAMFT approved supervision, workshops, practice building coaching, space renting, etc. :)
I am the Member-At-Large (MAL) and Chair of the Visibility Initiative Committee (VIC) for the NYAMFT Division Board. Through these positions I'm committed to assisting our profession grow and gain recognition in NY state while supporting our MFTs' Professional Journey. We are here for you! I look forward to assisting persons grow and heal individually and in partnership; and assisting other Mental Health Professionals in their professional development and in assisting their own clients.

WEEK 3
✨Here is my status and progress report! 💚
~~ I’m keeping up with the new exercise and movement “protocol” much more easily. It’s beginning to feel more habitual and something to look forward to than a chore or hassle.
Also, feeling stronger and tighter.
Happy with how it’s going. 🌟
How about you?
How are you challenging yourself for more health, wellness and vitality?

I’m now sharing about Element 2:
Communication & Alignment 🌟
~~ Secret to communication
I often find that partners interrupt the other when speaking.
They finish each other’s sentences.
They redirect or correct the message.
They jump in with their own side.
And when in conflict they talk over each other.
They are not really listening to what the other is saying about themselves.
They are listening for how it applies to them, and what their response is.
THIS DOES NOT WORK.
Neither partner feels heard or understood in the end.
Take turns showing each other what you hear and understand before you share your own side…

Communication & Alignment 🌟
~~ Communication Rules
It goes without saying, but sometimes we have to anyway, that we should treat our partner with the utmost respect.
This means…
At the very minimum:
No yelling or cursing at them
No name calling
And obviously no physical aggression.
FULL STOP!

I’m now sharing about Element 2:
Communication & Alignment 🌟
~~ Dialogue
It’s amazing how we can talk with someone and still not hear what they say.
I see this in session ALL THE TIME.
That’s why we use the Conscious Dialogue tool from Imago Therapy to:
…more easily be able to hear each other, understand what they are saying, and effortlessly get on the same page.
At first it feels tedious to reflect back what we hear. Couples have an initial reaction to it.
But very quickly they see the value in being able to fully express themselves and be heard.
It keeps conversations from going south.
It helps the partners feel understood.
It helps them connect more deeply.
I wish this for you.
Start reflecting your partner and see what happens. ;)

I’m still sharing about Element 1:
Commitment & Mindset 🌟
~~ WEEKEND BONUS 2
As we start sorting out the Holiday Plans, events, activities, gifting, travel and the rest of the merry making, we get pulled in a lot of different directions.
This is when it’s important to take a step back and decide what kind of season you want to have.
What do you want to experience.
How do you want to feel.
How do you want to celebrate and honor the ones you love.
This is a time to set boundaries around how much you take on and how you allocate your time.
And around consumption, spending, and anything that feels excessive…
This is a time to streamline your commitments to create space for the additional demands, and to double down on your self-care and self-love practices.
Happy Holiday Season!

~~ WEEKEND BONUS 1
The End-Of-Year and the Holiday Season are here.
This time of year is challenging for people for various reasons.
This is why it’s super important to be intentional about how we do the next few weeks.
To end the year with Bam!, I usually like to map out the projects to be completed by the end of the year.
And, how I want the season to FEEL…
This is the key…
Envision the flavor of your season and what you want to experience.
Then gently map out the experience so you get to savor it.

~~ Growth
There is saying that goes something like this:
“If you are not getting results, you are learning.”
I love to apply this to relationships.
If we are feeling stuck it’s because we still need to grow in some way.
It’s not your partner’s fault.
It’s not about this is not the person or relationship for you.
It doesn’t mean you are meant to be alone.
It is about fully owning yourself and where you are in your own evolution.
Time to adult and recommit to your personal development.
Your relationship will thank you.

Your phone isn’t just a distraction.
It’s a pattern of emotional abandonment.
We say we want intimacy.
But we lead with our phone.
It’s always there: On the nightstand, on the table, on the desk, on the couch, the bed.
Simon Sinek nailed it:
A visible phone says, “You’re not my priority.”
When you’re next to someone focused on their phone, you feel invisible. Like you don’t matter.
Rejected. Neglected. Abandoned.
Partners feel it when notifications matter more than what they’re saying.
The phone interrupts connection throughout the day:
💔 Reaching for your phone first thing in the morning
💔 Scrolling while your partner shares their day
💔 Phones on the dinner table
💔 Both on phones during walks or errands
💔 Documenting every moment instead being in it
💔 Work messages during designated couple time
💔 Checking messages during date nights
💔 Bringing phones to bed and scrolling before sleep
But I say we don’t make the phones the villain.
They aren’t the problem, our use is.
They can actually help us connect:
❤️ Finding activities and restaurants together
❤️ Planning trips and sharing ideas
❤️ Staying close throughout the day with texts
❤️ Flirting and sending each other funny things
❤️ Looking up trails for weekend hikes
❤️ Shopping for projects you’re working on
❤️ Coordinating schedules and logistics
It’s about knowing the difference.
When phones bring you closer vs. when they get in the way.
Small shifts in your screen habits can change how seen, heard, and loved your partner feels.
💬 What phone boundaries work in your relationship?

~~ Values
Having shared values is super important in a relationship.
For sure it makes things easier.
But having some values that are different doesn’t have to be a deal breaker, or a source of friction.
The key here is to explore why said values are important to one partner.
And why not to the other.
Then finding aspects of them that both partners are ok making a part of their shared life.
Your relationship is not just about you, or them.
It’s about both of you.
Learn to create more commonality.

Commitment & Mindset 🌟
~~ Compatibility
I very often hear how partners struggle with supposedly being incompatible…
The partners will not be the same, like all the same things, and agree on everything.
Actually, it’s more often the case than not that they are pretty opposite.
This does not mean you are not compatible.
This means you find the common ground.
And build tolerance, resilience, and love for the differences…
This is what makes you special and unique as a couple.
Cherish each other’s uniqueness.

Still smoothing out workflows and commitments to fit in the second walk.
I’m being gentle about this as I’m also honoring other promises to myself and I don’t need to stress myself out. 😉

I’m still sharing about Element 1:
Commitment & Mindset 🌟
~~ Clarify expectations
One of the big issues in relationships is that partners have unspoken, unclear, or unrealistic expectations.
And what’s even worse, sometimes they don’t even know themselves they have certain expectations.
Sometimes partners think they are on the same page, but they are not.
They think their partner agreed to something, yet they didn’t.
This is a major source of conflict for partners. We can’t just expect expectations to be met when they haven’t been clearly shared and agreed upon.
Make sure you share yours clearly.
AND get a buy-in from your partner!

Commitment & Mindset 🌟
~~ Grateful for them
One of the things that is super important in our relationship, it to recognize the value to the partnership with our partner.
And this is not just about how they help with chores or how much money they make.
This has to do with how they are a perfect match for our evolution.
They help us see our growth places and create the perfect playground for us to practice our becoming.
Time to fully see them and be grateful for them.

Do you know the surprising purpose of marriage?
It’s not just love, commitment, or building a life together.
From a higher perspective, your relationship is a mechanism for growth. A mirror, a container, a playground for becoming your most whole, integrated self.
Your partner is perfectly placed to reveal the parts of you still waiting to be seen, felt, healed, and owned.
Yes, even the triggering moments. Especially those.
Extraordinary couples don’t avoid discomfort, they use it. They explore old blueprints, outdated expectations, and inherited beliefs so they can co-create something better.
That’s the real upgrade. Not just surviving. Not even just “doing fine.”
❤️Deepening Together.
❤️Aligning together.
❤️Evolving Together.
Have you ever asked yourself what marriage truly means to you?
