THERAPY FOR INTIMACY ISSUES
Rebuild the connection you’re missing. Virtual therapy for couples across Massachusetts.
You love each other, but things feel hard right now.
Somewhere along the way, the closeness you used to share started to feel harder to reach. Maybe it's been slow, a few missed connections turning into a pattern. Maybe it happened after something specific: a fight that never fully resolved, a stretch of life that pulled you in different directions, or a hurt that hasn't healed yet. Either way, you're not imagining it, and you're not alone in it.
Intimacy isn't just physical closeness. It's feeling safe enough to be fully known by your partner, and choosing to stay open to them anyway. When that safety erodes, everything else in the relationship gets harder too.
You’re tired of feeling caught in this cycle:
Feeling like roommates instead of partners
Wanting to reconnect but not knowing where to start
Physical or emotional intimacy that feels effortful instead of natural
how i can help
Couples therapy can help you restore passion and connection.
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help you and your partner understand the attachment needs underneath the distance, the things you're each longing for but haven't been able to say directly. Instead of staying stuck in surface-level frustration, we get to what's actually going on.
Alongside EFT, I draw on psychodynamic insight to explore how past experiences, in this relationship and before it, shape the patterns you're in now. Understanding where a pattern comes from makes it much easier to change.
This work isn't about performing closeness. It's about rebuilding the real thing, at whatever pace feels right for both of you.

The version of your relationship where you're a team, not two people managing logistics next to each other.
Could be physically and emotionally close without it feeling like work
Intimacy that feels natural again, not like something you have to schedule or force.

Common questions about intimacy
-
Not exactly. While physical intimacy is often part of the conversation, my approach looks at the emotional connection underneath it. Many couples find that as emotional closeness improves, physical intimacy naturally follows.
-
That's actually one of the most common reasons couples reach out. You don't need a specific conflict to benefit from therapy, just a sense that something's missing.
-
Every couple is different, but many notice small shifts within the first few sessions, more than a resolved problem, a sense that you're finally working on this together instead of around it.
