Virtual Couples Therapy • Connecticut
Couples Therapy for Stamford Residents
Private couples therapy from the privacy of your own home
Understanding Stamford Couples
Stamford is a working city, and finance and corporate jobs downtown, the New Haven Line, Stamford Hospital, and founders between meetings all land in the same problem: two capable people running hard, and a relationship that gets whatever hour is left.
Long hours and travel are normal here, and by the time couples call, the disconnection has usually been building for years. The conversation that matters keeps getting postponed because there is never a right time.
Sessions are 90 minutes by video, including evenings and weekends, and there is no office to reach on High Ridge Road and no waiting room. If something urgent comes up between sessions, a smaller caseload means I can usually move. You still need to be physically in Connecticut while we meet.
Specialized Services for Stamford 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 Built Around Stamford Careers
When Two Demanding Careers Share One Relationship
Stamford couples include finance and corporate professionals downtown, commuters on the New Haven Line, healthcare workers at Stamford Hospital, and founders building companies between meetings. What I see most often is two capable people running hard in different directions, managing everything except the relationship.
By the time you reach out, the disconnection has usually been building for years. The conversation keeps getting postponed because there is never a right time. The session is that time, on purpose: 90 minutes, with someone whose entire practice is couples.
Why the 90-Minute Format Fits Stamford Schedules
A standard 50-minute session often ends just as the real conversation opens. My sessions run 90 minutes, so we can get past the recurring argument to the cycle under it: who pursues, who withdraws, and what keeps the same fight repeating. Trading hours, travel, and the commute make the week tight, and we still generally start weekly, then space sessions out as what you practice at home becomes consistent.
Every session is virtual, by secure video, and there is no office on High Ridge Road and no waiting room. Evening and weekend appointments sit around the workday, and a partner who is still in Manhattan cannot join from there. We meet once you are back in Connecticut.
The Approach: EFT and the Gottman Method
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy as the main framework and Gottman Method Level 3 tools where they help. The work stays with the bond between you, and with concrete practices for conflict and friendship. I am also trained in Relational Life Therapy and sex therapy.
I see couples only, and that has been the entire practice for more than 20 years. Stamford couples who are used to hiring specialists usually decide on that focus. I will tell you what I see, even when your attention is on what your partner should change.
Common Questions from Stamford Couples
How much does couples therapy cost in Stamford, CT?
Sessions are $750 for 90 minutes. You begin with a 30-minute consultation at $100, applied toward the first session. If I am not the right fit, I refund that fee. Couples therapy in the Stamford area commonly runs $200 to $350 for a 50-minute session, so an appointment here costs more and lasts nearly twice as long. I do not accept insurance. I can give you a superbill.
Do you offer evening couples therapy for Stamford commuters?
Yes. Evening and weekend appointments are available, and the session is virtual, so nobody has to add I-95 or another Metro-North trip to an office. A partner who is still in Manhattan at 6 in the evening cannot join from there. We meet once you are both back in Connecticut, or in another state where I am licensed.
Is there a difference between marriage counseling and couples therapy in Stamford?
People use both names, and the method is Emotionally Focused Therapy with Gottman Method Level 3 tools, aimed at the cycle you are caught in. Whether you call it marriage counseling or couples therapy, that is the work in the session. I only see couples.
Are you licensed to see couples in Stamford, Connecticut?
Yes. I am licensed in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. You need to be physically located in Connecticut during our sessions. We meet by secure, HIPAA-compliant video.
How private is virtual couples therapy for Stamford couples?
There is no office, no waiting room, and no parked car for a colleague to recognize. I do not live in Stamford, and I am not in your professional circle. We meet on a private video call, and the work stays there.
How quickly can Stamford couples get a first appointment?
I keep a deliberately small caseload, which is why evenings are realistic. The $100 consultation is where we both decide whether the fit is right. The fee applies toward your first session if you move forward, and I refund it if I am not the right fit.

A Therapist From Outside Stamford
Stamford is a small world, and I am not in it: I do not live in Stamford, 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.
