COUPLES COMMUNICATION THERAPIST
Learn to talk, and actually hear each other. Virtual therapy for couples with communication issues in Cambridge and across Massachusetts.
You keep having the same argument, just about different things.
One of you shuts down. The other pushes harder. A small disagreement about dishes or plans turns into a bigger fight about feeling unheard, and neither of you knows how it got there. You've tried talking it out on your own. It hasn't worked, or it's worked for a while and then the same pattern shows back up.
This isn't about who's right. It's about a communication pattern that's keeping you both stuck, and patterns like that don't fix themselves just because you love each other.
You’re tired of feeling caught in this cycle:
Small disagreements spiraling into bigger fights
Feeling unheard, no matter how clearly you think you're saying it
Walking on eggshells to avoid the next argument
how i can help
Relationship therapy can help you break the cycle.
Most communication breakdowns aren't really about communication skills. They're about what happens underneath the conversation, the moment one of you feels criticized, dismissed, or alone, and reacts to protect yourself instead of staying connected. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help you both identify that pattern in real time and understand what's actually driving it.
Once you can see the cycle instead of just being caught in it, everything changes. You'll learn to recognize the moment things start to go sideways, and how to reach for each other instead of pulling away or digging in.
This isn't about scripts or rules for fighting fair. It's about rebuilding the trust that lets you say hard things to each other and still feel like a team.
imagine if you…
Could disagree without it turning into a bigger fight
Conflict that stays about the actual issue, instead of spiraling into everything else.
Actually felt heard by your partner
Not just listened to, understood, in a way that changes how you both show up afterward.
Trusted each other with the hard conversations
Fewer things left unsaid because saying them feels too risky.

Common questions about therapy for communication
-
Yes. Shutting down and going quiet is just as much a communication pattern as arguing, and it's often just as damaging. This work applies whether your pattern is loud or silent.
-
Some, but techniques alone rarely stick if the underlying pattern isn't addressed. I focus on helping you understand what's driving the breakdown first, so the way you talk to each other changes for real, not just in session.
-
That's common, and still worth addressing. A single recurring flashpoint often reveals a deeper pattern that's worth understanding, even if the rest of your communication feels solid.
