Many couples arrive caught in cycles of escalation, pursue–withdraw dynamics, defensiveness, or shutdown.

Most relationships deteriorate through repeated interaction patterns, not single conflicts.

Those patterns show up in the places couples actually fight: money, sex, parenting, division of labor, in-laws, or the slow accumulation of resentment.

Daniel helps couples recognize and change the pattern driving those conflicts. Drawing on the Gottman Method, he helps partners understand how attachment patterns, stress responses, and long-standing habits shape the way disagreements unfold.

Rather than focusing only on the content of arguments, Daniel helps couples change the relational system from which those arguments come. Couples learn structured protocols for raising concerns without triggering escalation, responding without defensiveness, repairing conflict, and rebuilding goodwill between them.

Daniel’s practice often attracts thoughtful couples who want to understand what actually happens in their conflicts. Many are professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs who approach their partnership with the same care they bring to the rest of their lives.

Daniel trained at New York University and taught there for more than 15 years before focusing fully on clinical practice. As a Gottman Method Level 3 practitioner, he integrates research-based relationship science with practical frameworks couples can apply directly in daily life.

His practice serves couples through secure telehealth sessions across multiple states, allowing partners to participate from home while integrating the skills they learn into everyday life.
