Virtual Couples Therapy • Massachusetts
Couples Therapy for Brookline Residents
Private couples therapy from the privacy of your own home
Understanding Brookline Couples
Brookline couples often want the evidence before they will trust the work. Physicians, researchers, and professors near the Longwood hospitals and the universities can cite what a good relationship requires and still go quiet when the other person walks in exhausted.
The patterns I see here are familiar and specific: the same argument in a new costume, two parallel lives, a sexual relationship that has gone distant, or the long repair after an affair. You are allowed to ask why an approach works. I will answer that directly.
Circles in Brookline overlap. A waiting room is a risk. We meet by secure video, and partners can join from different rooms when the schedules demand it, as long as each of you is physically in Massachusetts.
Specialized Services for Brookline Couples
I only work with couples, and that is the whole practice, so here is where I can help with the relationship in front of you.
General Couples Therapy
You keep having the same argument, and by now you could recite your partner's part, so we look at why you end up there and what each of you contributes.
Learn More →Infidelity Recovery
An affair can leave you questioning more than fidelity, and we address the betrayal directly, including the responsibility of the person who chose it.
Learn More →Intimacy & Sex Therapy
Feeling unwanted hurts, and so does feeling pressured or misunderstood, so we make room for an honest conversation about your sexual relationship.
Learn More →Neurodiverse Couples
When autism or ADHD is part of the relationship, advice that ignores that difference can leave both of you more frustrated, and I am a Certified Neurodiverse Couples Therapist (AANE).
Learn More →Maintenance Therapy
You do not have to wait until you are wondering whether the relationship will survive, because starting while you still like each other is a reasonable decision.

Complete Privacy
There is no waiting room and no chance of running into a neighbor, a colleague, or a friend, because you meet from your own home.
Schedule Flexibility
Evening and weekend appointments are available, and because I keep a small caseload I can usually move a session when something urgent comes up between meetings. If you or your partner are in crisis or unsafe, call or text 988, or call 911.
Expert-Level Care
I only see couples, I have done this work for more than 20 years, and I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method Level 3, Relational Life Therapy, and sex therapy.
No Commute
You can skip the drive and log in from home, a hotel room, or any place where you can close the door, as long as you are physically in a state where I am licensed.
The Investment
I do not accept insurance, and I can give you a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement if you have questions about HSA, FSA or your plan, and the consultation is 30 minutes and $100, applied toward your first session, and I refund that fee if I am not the right fit.

Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling for Brookline Couples
What Brookline Couples Are Usually Working On
Most Brookline couples arrive with a pattern they can already describe: the same argument in different costumes, a slow drift into parallel lives, a physical distance that matches the emotional one, or the work of rebuilding after an affair. I am not here to referee the fight. We change the cycle under it, so the conversation stops stalling in the same place.
You will probably want to know why an approach works before you commit. That is a fair question, particularly if you live in research or medicine. Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method are the approaches I use because the research on them is serious, and because I have watched what they change in the room.
Why Sessions Run 90 Minutes, and Why They Are Virtual
Every session runs 90 minutes by secure video, nearly twice a standard hour, so we can stay with what opens up. Emotionally Focused Therapy is the framework. Gottman Method Level 3 tools come in where they help, and sex therapy training matters when the distance is physical as well as emotional. I also have Relational Life Therapy training. Couples are the whole practice, and I have done this for more than 20 years.
There is no waiting room and no chance of being seen walking in, which matters where the circles overlap the way they do in Brookline. Partners can join from different places when the day requires it. Evening and weekend appointments are available. Each of you still has to be physically in a state where I am licensed.
Common Questions from Brookline Couples
Do you offer marriage counseling for Brookline, MA couples?
Yes. I am licensed in Massachusetts and work with couples throughout Brookline and the Greater Boston area, including Newton, Boston, and Cambridge. All sessions are virtual by secure video, so there is no office to travel to. You need to be physically located in Massachusetts during our sessions.
How much does couples therapy in Brookline cost?
Sessions are $750 for a 90-minute appointment. Couples begin with a 30-minute consultation at $100, applied toward the first session. If I am not the right fit, I refund that fee. I do not accept insurance. If you have questions about HSA, FSA or out-of-network benefits, check with your plan administrator. I can give you a superbill.
Is there a difference between couples therapy, marriage counseling, and relationship therapy?
In this practice those are three names for the same work. Emotionally Focused Therapy is the framework, with Gottman Method Level 3 tools where they fit. Married couples, engaged couples, and long-term partners who are not married all work the same way here. I see couples only, in 90-minute virtual sessions.
