What working together looks like
Couples therapy is not about finding someone to blame. We will get curious about the patterns between you, make room for honest conversations, and work toward better understanding and connection. I welcome partners across relationship structures.
When the same conversation keeps happening
Some couples arrive after a rupture in trust. Others feel more like roommates, get caught in the same fights, or have a hard time talking about needs without becoming defensive. There is no single right reason to start.
We will pay attention to what happens between you when conflict shows up, how each person tries to protect themselves, and what helps you feel safer and more understood. I work with partners in a range of relationship structures, including consensually nonmonogamous relationships.
I offer virtual sessions for eligible clients in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont, Florida, and Utah.
When couples therapy may help
Couples counseling can be useful when difficult conversations turn into familiar arguments, when trust feels uncertain, or when you are negotiating change, boundaries, or different needs. You do not have to wait for a crisis to talk about what is happening in your relationship.
Do both partners need to know exactly what the problem is?
No. Many partners come in with different ideas about what feels difficult. We can begin by understanding each perspective and the patterns that happen between you.
