Virtual Couples Therapy • Rhode Island
Couples Therapy for Newport Residents
Private couples therapy from the privacy of your own home
Understanding Newport Couples
Newport is a small place where a great deal is visible. Established families, finance and healthcare professionals, and people in the sailing and marine world all know that a car parked outside a local office can become a story. Appearance has mattered here for a long time. The relationship still needs a private room.
Plenty of Newport couples delayed getting help because they could picture someone recognizing the car. We meet from home, from an office with the door closed, or from wherever you are that week, as long as you are physically in Rhode Island or another state where I am licensed.
I only work with couples. Sessions are 90 minutes by secure video, at $750. There is no office to walk into. I am licensed in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
Specialized Services for Newport 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.

Marriage Counseling and Couples Therapy for Newport, Rhode Island Couples
Marriage Counseling for Newport Couples, Entirely Online
Marriage counseling for Newport couples is fully virtual. I am licensed in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, and my entire practice is couples. Sessions run 90 minutes over a private video call, at $750, and there is no office to walk into.
Newport is a small place where a great deal is visible. Couples often say the prospect of a car parked outside a local practice, on a street where someone would recognize it, was enough to keep them from starting. You meet from home, or from an office with the door closed, and the work stays in that conversation.
Why 90 Minutes, and What the Work Actually Does
A 90-minute session is the format because 50 minutes is rarely long enough for two people. A standard hour tends to end just as the real conversation opens. Ninety minutes gets past the recap and into the pattern under it. We generally start weekly. As the changes you make at home become consistent, we space the sessions out.
Emotionally Focused Therapy is the framework, with Gottman Method Level 3 tools where they help. I am also trained in Relational Life Therapy and sex therapy, and I have worked only with couples for more than 20 years. We stay with the cycle that drives the same argument: who presses, who withdraws, and what keeps the conversation stalling.
Common Questions from Newport Couples

Is online couples therapy as effective as meeting in person?
The two people who need to be in the room are already together, which is the part that matters.
