Couples Therapy in Boston & online
Relationships get messy. Most couples (and especially those with kids) face challenges at some point. Communication breakdowns, fading sexual connection, mismatched desire, and recurring conflicts can chip away at trust and connection, leaving both partners feeling unseen, frustrated, and alone
When Connection Breaks Down
It can feel like you’ve ended up on opposing teams. Maybe you’re stuck in the same argument again and again, or you’ve stopped talking altogether. Perhaps romance and intimacy feel like they’ve disappeared. For some, infidelity or broken trust makes moving forward feel impossible.
Couples counseling creates space to slow down, repair, and reconnect in ways that restore closeness.
Desire differences are inevitable—but disconnection doesn’t have to be
As a seasoned couples and sex therapist, I’ll say it directly: low desire is not a problem to “fix.”
When the low-desire partner is labeled as the problem, the real issue gets missed — the gap between desires.
Sex therapy and relationship counseling help you close that gap, reduce shame, and create connection that feels authentic, safe, and connected.
What to Expect in Couples Therapy
I know many partners feel nervous about starting counseling. You might worry about blame or doubt whether therapy really works. That’s normal. Here’s what you can count on:
I am always on the side of the relationship, not one partner over the other.
I use evidence-based, attachment-focused therapy like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to rebuild trust and understanding.
You’ll learn practical communication tools to move out of negative cycles.
As an AASECT-certified sex therapist, I make space for even the most uncomfortable topics — nothing is off-limits.

I get it, an intensive seems like a big investment…
However, your relationship is worth the effort! Relationships can be challenging, and even the strongest ones require work. Couples intensives offer a way to make significant progress in a shorter amount of time, typically consisting of 5-6 hours of focused work per day, with breaks to ensure productivity. This format allows couples to dive deep into issues and achieve long-lasting and positive changes in their relationship.
While some couples may find that one intensive is sufficient for their needs, others may choose to schedule multiple days or follow up with ongoing sessions or monthly check-ins. Additionally, intensives can be customized to meet the unique needs and goals of each couple. For couples who are committed to improving their relationship, it’s a great way to create long-lasting, positive changes and represents a significant savings in both time and money over traditional weekly sessions.

No! Many couples I work with do find that emotional disconnection often comes with sexual disconnect, but not all. I work to help you get securely connected to each other, regardless of what that means to you.
