Virtual Couples Therapy · Somerville, Massachusetts
Couples Therapy for Somerville Residents
A couples specialist, working with you by secure video
Understanding Somerville Couples
Somerville packs a lot of life into a few square miles of triple-deckers between Davis Square, Union Square, and Assembly Row. The couples I see are tech and biotech workers heading to Kendall Square, Tufts faculty and graduate students, designers, founders, nurses, and writers. Two driven people, two schedules, and a shared life that keeps missing itself on the stairs.
What I hear most is drift, and you still care about each other, the calendars never line up, and the real conversation keeps moving to a night that does not arrive. Resentment gets louder than affection, and a date night will not change that pattern. Couples are the only work I do.
Sessions are on secure video, and you skip the parking near Union Square, the attempt to line up two calendars around a commute, and a waiting room in a tight community where you might run into someone you know. You need to be physically in Massachusetts during the session.
Why Somerville Couples Choose This Practice
Research-Backed Methods
Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method have a serious research record, and I will tell you why I am using them, in plain language.
A Couples-Only Specialist
Couples are the entire practice, and I do not split the work across individuals, families, and kids.
Built for Two Careers
Lab hours, startup weeks, clinical shifts, and creative deadlines rarely fit a 50-minute weekday slot, so evening and weekend sessions are 90 minutes.
Genuine Privacy
Somerville is small and tightly connected, and video sessions keep the relationship work out of a waiting room where a neighbor might sit.
Specialized Services for Somerville Couples
I only work with couples, and here is where I can help.
General Couples Therapy
You pass each other between a late lab and an early meeting, and we look at the drift that creates.
Learn More →Infidelity Recovery
We address the betrayal directly, including the responsibility of the person who chose it.
Learn More →Intimacy & Sex Therapy
A small apartment can still hold a long distance, and we will talk about sex and about why reaching feels risky.
Learn More →Neurodiverse Couples
When autism or ADHD is part of the relationship, advice that ignores it leaves you both more frustrated, and I am a Certified Neurodiverse Couples Therapist (AANE).
Learn More →Maintenance Therapy
You can start while you still like each other, before the postponed conversation becomes the relationship.
Learn More →The Investment
I do not accept insurance, and I can give you a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. Regular sessions are by secure, HIPAA-compliant video, and you must be physically located in Massachusetts. A weekend intensive can be held in your home, and we generally start weekly, then space sessions out as the changes at home hold.

Common Questions From Somerville Couples
Do you keep an office near Somerville?
Sessions are virtual, by secure video, so there is no commute, no search for parking, and no familiar face in a waiting room, and I do not keep an office for those meetings.
How much does couples therapy cost in Somerville?
Sessions are $750 for 90 minutes, while most couples therapists in the Somerville area charge $150 to $300 for a 50-minute session, so an appointment here costs more and runs nearly twice as long. You start with a 30-minute consultation at $100, applied toward the first session and refunded if I am not the right fit, and I do not accept insurance, though I can give you a superbill.
Do you offer in-person sessions in Somerville?
Week to week, sessions are by video, which skips the parking around Davis and Union and the problem of two calendars, and there is no office to drive to for those meetings. If you want a longer block, a weekend intensive can be held in your home.
What approach do you use?
I practice Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method, with training in Relational Life Therapy and sex therapy, and I see couples only, so the method and the practice are both built around the relationship.
Do you work with dual-career and academic couples?
Yes. Somerville is full of two-career couples, people in Kendall Square biotech and Boston offices, faculty and graduate students connected to Tufts, and a deep bench of creatives and tech workers, and I know the particular strain of two ambitious schedules that never quite line up.
Do you take insurance?
I do not accept insurance, and I can give you a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement.
