Couples Therapy in Cambridge, MA
If you and your partner are…
Not communicating well.
It can start over the smallest thing and always turns into the same argument. It’s hard to talk anymore. Sometimes you just avoid each other to avoid another fight.
Wanting to connect more deeply.
A big change is on the horizon like marriage or a new baby. You want to make sure your communication is as strong as possible.
Not connecting physically.
Your sex life and physical connection is not where you want it to be for any number of reasons, and maybe you don’t know how to talk about it with your partner.
Growing apart.
Instead of growing together as you hoped, it feels like you’ve become two different people. You’re not sure if you still want the same things in life.
Let’s talk.
Reconnect.
Losing our connection in relationships is incredibly painful. Studies show that as humans, we are actually wired to experience rejection and social isolation in the same part of our brain as physical pain!
It’s no wonder that conflict and avoidance arise in relationships when we aren’t connecting anymore. This is where couples therapy can help.
As a couple’s therapist, I am certified in a type of therapy that is evidence-based, and proven to get 90% of couples connecting again.
It’s called EFT (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy).
Rekindle.
As a couples and sex therapist, one of the most common concerns I hear from couples is that they are struggling in their sex life.
Maybe you’ve been worried this is the “death knell” to your relationship. Or that you have to resign yourself to a lackluster sex life.
It doesn’t need to be that way.
We can work together to put words to your experiences and make sex “speakable” so that you can start increasing your connection with each other.
Rethink.
As a couples therapist, it is my role to provide a space where you can both be heard, seen, and valued.
Many of my couples come to me because they are on the brink of deciding to take a big step like marriage or divorce. I can be there for you both to help you look at your relationship with a new perspective, and talk through the complexities of these big and often painful decisions.
I will be there to help create a safe space to talk through these difficult possibilities.
