Individual and couples therapy delivered through a compassionate and relational practice.

I provide relational psychotherapy to individuals and couples who desire a deeper and more intimate connection.

Our core desire is to feel connection and intimacy with ourselves and others.

At the core of every person is an inherent worth—a truth that too often gets buried beneath layers of fear, pain, or past experiences. I believe every individual is deserving of love, connection, and intimacy. These aren't just nice-to-haves; they are foundational to our mental health, well-being, and happiness.

Intimacy isn’t just about romantic relationships—it’s about being seen, known, and valued in all of your relationships. True intimacy arises when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and trust in the worthiness and wisdom of our emotions and experiences. When we embrace this truth, we open the door to deeper connections with ourselves and others.

In my practice, I will help you rediscover that you are worthy of the love and connection you seek. Through relational work, I will support you in cultivating relationships that nurture your sense of belonging and enrich your emotional life. Because when you feel deeply connected, life becomes more meaningful, resilient, and full.

You are enough just as you are, and you are worthy of a life filled with love, intimacy, and connection.

Hello and welcome! I’m Gretchen.

I’m an individual and couples therapist passionate about helping individuals and couples heal, grow, and create deeper, more fulfilling relationships. My work is grounded in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), an approach that helps people connect more authentically, build trust, and overcome relational challenges.

I graduated from New York University (NYU) and began my career working in the Special Victims Unit at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. There, I gained specialized trauma training, which deepened my understanding of how past wounds can affect our relationships and emotional well-being. This early experience shaped my therapeutic approach, driving my commitment to help clients build a new relationship to their pain and find healing and liberation.

I’ve been in private practice since 2014, and I’ve also had the honor of teaching at NYU. Over the years, I’ve continued my professional development at the Relational Life Institute, refining my expertise in couples therapy and relational living. My approach is holistic, incorporating both somatic work and mindfulness with traditional therapy to support healing on every level—mind, body, and spirit.

At the core of my work is a deep belief in the power of love, intimacy, and connection. I’ve seen how these elements can not only heal relationships but also restore confidence and a sense of worth. Whether you’re working through trauma, looking to strengthen your relationship, or seeking a deeper connection with yourself and others, I’m here to help guide you on that journey.
