Couples Therapists in Boston, MA
With 20 yrs of clinical experience as a LMHC and degree in MFT, I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
My work is both structured and deeply relational. I pay close attention to patterns beneath the surface, including how your nervous system, past experiences, and relationships shape the way you think, feel and respond. Therapy with me is active, honest and insight-driven. We work to understand what's happening at its root so that change becomes possible.

FAQ - About Couples Therapy
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
What can a couples therapist help with?
A therapist can help a couple navigate a wide array of challenges, including balance in the relationship, communication and conflict, boundaries, intimacy and sex, parenting and conflicts with children, family dynamics, life transitions, stressors, job losses, deception, affairs, grief, alcohol or substance use, mental or physical illnesses, general unhappiness, and separation or divorce.
What therapy types are most suitable for couples counseling?
Couples counseling encompasses many effective techniques, including emotionally focused therapy (changing emotional responses to improve attachment), the Gottman method (solving problems and building intimacy), Imago relationship therapy (unearthing childhood experiences), narrative therapy (exploring narratives about the individuals and the relationship), solution-focused therapy (creating a plan for change), and cognitive behavioral therapy (targeting problematic thoughts to change behavior).
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
