Couples Therapy for New Canaan Residents
Private couples therapy from the privacy of your own home
Understanding New Canaan Couples
New Canaan still runs on a branch-line rhythm, and one of you is often on the train into Manhattan before the house is quiet, and the other is getting children out the door, and the marriage is usually intact, and it is also easy to neglect.
I meet young families from New Canaan, many with a finance or law job in the city and a calendar full of school, sports, and hosting. You are not in free fall, and you want the relationship looked after while it is still basically good.
On this branch, school parents, people from the club, and the same faces from the platform would all be one lobby away from a local office, so I meet you by video, and that collision never happens.
Specialized Services for New Canaan 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.

Keeping a Sound Marriage from Thinning Out
The weekday that starts on the train
The New Canaan branch sets the clock, so you leave early, you return late, and the conversations that matter get pushed to a Sunday that fills up with errands. Nothing dramatic has happened, and you are simply spending less of your real attention on each other, which means you can both feel the gap.
Young families often call this a logistics problem, and the logistics are real, and they are also the start of a loop where one of you asks for time, the other hears criticism, and both of you end the night slightly further apart. The useful move is to catch that loop while the relationship is still basically good.
What maintenance actually involves
I do not wait for a betrayal or a separation threat to begin, because maintenance is proactive care, and we name the patterns that get much harder to move if they are left alone. Sometimes that is a shutdown after stress, sometimes it is a resentment about who carries the house, and we work on the bond underneath the complaint.
I lead with Emotionally Focused Therapy, because a lecture about date nights does not change a cycle, and Gottman Method Level 3 training is part of my background when a concrete exercise truly helps. I am also trained in Relational Life Therapy.

How a first meeting works
Couples are my only clients, a full session is 90 minutes at $750, and we begin with a 30-minute consultation at $100 that is credited to the first session if you continue and refunded if I am not the right fit. I do not accept insurance, and I can give you a superbill.
I am licensed in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, so each of you has to be inside one of those four states while Zoom is open. A day spent in Manhattan is part of many New Canaan weeks, and the call itself waits until you are back across the state line.
A Session the Platform Never Sees
From the house, after you are both home
There is no office of mine in this town and no reception area anywhere in the practice. You join from a bedroom, a home office, or the car in your own driveway if that is the only quiet door. People from school pickup, from the club, and from your own street do not watch you arrive, because there is nothing to arrive at.

Common Questions from New Canaan Couples
Our marriage is basically good. Why start now?
Because a small distance is easier to work with than a crisis. Maintenance is for couples who still like each other and do not want several more distracted years to decide the relationship for them. The first conversation is 30 minutes and $100, credited if you book a full session. If I am not the right fit, I refund it.
How do we fit a New Canaan branch commute into this?
You do not come to an office after the train, and we meet by video once you are both home and in a state where I can legally see you. A Manhattan platform is not a place we can meet, and we find an evening or weekend slot your week can actually hold.
What if the only private place is a parked car?
Then use it, and plenty of parents with small children do. Headphones, a closed door, or a driveway all let you speak freely when the house is loud. I care that you can talk, and I do not care whether the backdrop looks polished.

A Therapist From Outside New Canaan
New Canaan is a small world, and I am not in it: I do not live in New Canaan, I am not at your events, and I do not know your friends. We meet on a private video call, and the work stays in that conversation, which for many couples is what makes an honest conversation possible.

A $100 consultation is applied toward your first session, and I refund the fee if I am not the right fit.
