Virtual Couples Therapy · Somerville, Massachusetts
Couples Therapy for Somerville Residents
A couples specialist next door in Cambridge, working with you by secure video
Understanding Somerville Couples
Somerville is one of the densest, most energetic cities in New England, packed into a few square miles of triple-deckers between Davis Square, Union Square, and Assembly Row. The couples I see here are young and ambitious: tech and biotech workers who commute into Kendall Square, faculty and graduate students connected to Tufts, designers, founders, nurses, and writers. Two driven people, two demanding schedules, and a shared life squeezed into a city where everything moves fast.
The pattern I hear most often in Somerville is not a dramatic blowup. It is drift. Two people who love each other but keep missing each other, calendars that never line up, conversations that get postponed until the resentment is louder than the affection. That kind of slow disconnection does not respond to a date night or a better app. It responds to the work underneath it, and that work is the only thing I do. I see couples, only couples.
My practice is based right next door in Cambridge, a short distance from Davis Square. Sessions happen over secure video rather than in an office, which for most Somerville couples is a feature: no hunting for parking near Union Square, no coordinating two impossible calendars around a commute, and no waiting room in a small, tight community where you might run into someone you know.
Why Somerville Couples Choose This Practice
Research-Backed Methods
EFT and the Gottman Method are the most studied approaches in the field. You get a foundation built on evidence, not pop psychology or generic advice.
A Couples-Only Specialist
I do not split my attention across individuals, families, and kids. Couples work is my entire focus, training, and continuing education.
Built for Two Careers
Lab hours, startup sprints, clinical shifts, and creative deadlines do not fit a 50-minute weekday slot. Evening and weekend 90-minute sessions do.
Genuine Privacy
Somerville is small and tightly connected. Virtual sessions keep your relationship work entirely your own, with no waiting room and no chance encounters.

Common Questions From Somerville Couples
Are you based near Somerville?
Yes. My practice is rooted in Cambridge, right next door, a short hop from Davis Square. Sessions themselves are virtual, by secure video, so Somerville couples get a local specialist without the commute, the search for parking, or the chance of running into a familiar face in a waiting room.
How much does couples therapy cost in Somerville?
Sessions are $750 for 90 minutes. Most couples therapists in the Somerville area charge $150 to $300 for a 50-minute session. My sessions cost more per appointment but run nearly twice as long, and the concentrated format means most couples need fewer sessions overall.
Do you offer in-person sessions in Somerville?
I work virtually. Even for couples a few streets away, video sessions remove the logistics that derail busy schedules: the parking crunch around Davis and Union Square, the coordination of two demanding calendars, and the commute into wherever an office would be. That makes the work easier to protect week to week.
What approach do you use?
I practice Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, the two most rigorously researched models in couples work, with additional training in sex therapy. I see couples, only couples, which means the method and the focus are both built entirely around relationship work.
Do you work with dual-career and academic couples?
Constantly. Somerville is full of two-career couples, people who work in Kendall Square biotech and Boston offices, faculty and graduate students connected to Tufts, and a deep bench of creatives and tech workers. I understand the particular strain of two ambitious schedules that never quite line up.
Do you take insurance?
I do not accept insurance, but I can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. See the FAQs for how to use it with your plan.
