Helping couples
      be close again

Do you want better communication and more intimacy in your relationship?
You have come to the right place.

I am a clinical psychologist in Newton, Massachusetts with over thirty years of experience working with couples and individuals to improve their relationships. If you have tried on your own to make things better in your relationship and you haven’t succeeded, therapy can be an effective means to get close again.

Working with your partner in couple therapy is often the best way to increase relationship satisfaction. However, your partner may not be willing to come in or you may feel that some of your own behavior needs to be addressed first. In addition to couple therapy, I offer individual therapy that focuses on your contribution to the relationship problems. Sometimes individual change can be a powerful way to bring about relationship change.

Therapy can be helpful for a range of relationship difficulties. You may be feeling very good about your relationship but just want some help in resolving a difference between you and your partner, or to improve your communication. On the other hand, it might be that the level of conflict in your relationship is creating too much distress for you. Maybe one of you has become closed down in the relationship, or maybe you both have become closed off to each other.

Regardless of what the obstacles are, if you are willing to work at it then I can help you find a way of engaging with your partner that will make each of you happier. Even if there has been infidelity and trust has been broken, it’s still possible to find your way back to a strong and loving connection.

If you want more closeness in your relationship, give me a call and let’s talk about how I can help.
