Marriage Counseling and Couples Therapy
You’ve Worked Hard for the Life You Have. How’s Your Relationship Doing?
You can be successful in almost every area of your life and still feel completely stuck in your relationship. Being good at solving problems elsewhere can make it particularly frustrating when you can’t figure this one out.
But how long have things felt this way? And what is going to change if you keep doing what you’re doing?
I work exclusively with couples who are ready to take an honest look at their relationship and their own part in it.

I Only See Couples
Most therapists work with individuals and see some couples along the way. I only work with couples. That distinction matters.
If you had cancer, you wouldn’t go to a dentist. You would go to someone whose training and experience were focused on what you needed help with. Your relationship deserves that same consideration.
I have extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, along with training in the Gottman Method, Relational Life Therapy, sex therapy, and working with neurodiverse couples. I continue to invest in specialized training and clinical consultation because this is complicated work, and I take it seriously.
I’m also direct. I’ll tell you what I see, even when it’s uncomfortable. You can have legitimate complaints about your partner and still be contributing to the very dynamic you want to change. I’m going to help you look at that.
The couples who work with me are often accustomed to being capable and in control. Asking for help with something this personal can feel unfamiliar. I understand that. I also know how much it can cost you to keep putting it off.
A Different Kind of Practice
I built this practice around what I believe couples need to do meaningful work, with the time and availability to support it.
90-Minute Sessions
There’s an entire relationship to understand. I want enough time to get into what’s happening and help you work through it. That’s why my sessions are 90 minutes.
Designed to End
I want you to get to a place where you trust yourselves to handle difficult moments without needing me to walk you through them. As you make progress, we’ll space sessions out. We’ll discuss ending when you’re ready.
Smaller Caseload = More Access
I intentionally work with very few couples. That allows me to know you well and offer greater flexibility, including more availability between appointments. It’s the reason I chose a concierge model.
Privacy Beyond Confidentiality
For some couples, the possibility of running into their therapist at a school event or a business dinner is enough to make getting help feel uncomfortable. Working virtually with someone outside your immediate community can provide a welcome degree of separation.
Accountability Without Blame
I expect each of you to look at what you contribute to the relationship. If all your attention is on what your partner needs to change, you’re leaving your ability to feel better entirely in their hands. We’ll work on what you can do differently, even when your frustration with them is justified.
What’s Possible
Sleep at Night Again
When your relationship feels uncertain, it can follow you everywhere. We’ll work toward understanding what’s happening and addressing the things that keep you awake.
Actually Feel Connected
You may function well together and still miss feeling close. Being needed to keep a household running is different from feeling wanted by your partner. That deserves attention.
Stop Walking on Eggshells
You should be able to raise a concern without spending the next hour regretting that you said anything. We’ll look closely at how those conversations unravel and work on changing what happens between you.
Know Where You Stand
Some couples arrive unsure whether they want to stay together. We can have that conversation honestly. You don’t need to pretend you’re certain in order to begin.
Where High-Achieving Couples Struggle Most
These are the areas I focus on in my work with couples.
General Couples Therapy
You keep having the same argument, and by now you could probably recite your partner’s part. We’ll look at why you keep ending up there and what each of you needs to do to change it.
Infidelity Recovery
An affair can leave you questioning far more than your partner’s fidelity. We’ll address the betrayal directly, including the responsibility of the person who chose it, while helping you determine whether and how to rebuild your relationship.
Intimacy & Sex Therapy
Feeling unwanted hurts. So does feeling pressured or misunderstood. We’ll make room for an honest conversation about your sexual relationship, including the things you may have found difficult to say to each other.
Neurodiverse Partnerships
When ADHD or autism is part of your relationship, advice that ignores those differences can leave you both more frustrated. Understanding how each of you experiences the relationship helps us develop expectations and approaches that make sense for you. I am a Certified Neurodiverse Couples Therapist through AANE.
Maintenance Therapy
You don’t have to wait until you’re wondering whether your relationship will survive. Addressing something while you still like each other is a perfectly reasonable decision. I wish more couples made it.
Marriage Counseling and Couples Therapy
You may call it marriage counseling or couples therapy. Either way, you’re looking for someone who knows how to help with what’s happening in your relationship.
I work with all couples, including LGBTQ+ couples and those in polyamorous or consensually nonmonogamous relationships. You don’t need to be married, and you don’t need to explain or defend your relationship structure to me.
My practice is fully virtual, and I’m licensed in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. Regular sessions are 90 minutes and take place through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.
Choosing someone for this work is a personal decision. You should understand how they work and have an opportunity to ask questions before committing. That’s what the consultation is for.
How It Works
Consultation
We start with a 30-minute conversation about what’s happening and what you’re looking for. You’ll get a sense of me, and I’ll consider whether I’m the right person to help. We both have a say in that decision.
The consultation is $100, applied toward your first session if we proceed. If I determine that I’m not the right fit, I’ll refund the fee.
Assessment Phase
We begin with a session together, followed by individual assessment sessions with each partner. I want to understand your relationship and hear from each of you before deciding with you where our work needs to focus.
Real Work, Real Change
We generally start weekly. What happens between sessions matters enormously. Understanding something in our conversation is useful, but I’ll want to know what happened when you had an opportunity to respond differently at home. As those changes become more consistent, we’ll reduce the frequency of our meetings.
The Investment
This fee supports a practice where I can devote substantial time and attention to a small number of couples. You’re paying for specialized experience and a level of access that a larger caseload wouldn’t allow me to provide.
I expect you to take this investment seriously. I hold myself to that same expectation.
I do not accept insurance. I can provide superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan and circumstances.
Quick Answers
Where do sessions take place?
All regular sessions take place virtually through secure video. I work with couples located in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
View service areas →How long does therapy typically take?
There isn’t an honest answer I can give everyone before meeting them. What brings you in matters, and so does what you’re willing to do between sessions. We’ll talk openly about your progress and whether our work is helping.
Read more FAQs →Why 90-minute sessions?
Because I want time to work with what comes up. It can take a while to get to the conversation you actually need to have, especially when it’s one you’ve been avoiding.
Learn about my approach →What if only one partner wants to come?
You don’t have to be equally enthusiastic about therapy. We can talk about that. But my practice focuses on relationship work, and everyone involved needs to be willing to participate. Individual assessment sessions are part of that work.
Schedule a consultation →Is this marriage counseling or couples therapy?
Both terms describe the work I do. Being married isn’t a requirement for getting help with your relationship.
Read more FAQs →Do you offer intensive sessions?
I offer weekend intensives in addition to regular 90-minute sessions. We can discuss which format makes sense for your circumstances.
