When divorce is on the table or an infidelity has been revealed, your world can go into a tailspin. Everything feels urgent, emotional, and destabilizing. But that moment doesn’t have to mean it’s over. It can be a chance to slow things down and discern what’s next for your relationship. Some couples work to repair and rebuild. Others engage in a structured process called Discernment Counseling to decide—thoughtfully and intentionally—whether to recommit or move toward divorce with clarity.
I specialize in helping couples struggling with infidelity, divorce, and other marriage and relationship struggles. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment Theory, or Discernment Counseling, I help couples stop fighting each other and start attacking the real issues.
I'd be honored to help you see what's truly possible in therapy and in your relationship. With help, you can break free from the endless cycles of arguing and missing each other. For clients in MA, CT, & FL. Also Discernment Counseling for couples considering divorce or separation. Schedule your intake appointment online.
