Couples Therapy in Burlington, VT
Telehealth therapy for couples, available online throughout Vermont
Most couples don't come to therapy at the first sign of trouble.
They come after months, sometimes years, of the same argument on repeat, a slow drift apart, or a single moment that changed everything. By the time you're looking for help, things can feel pretty stuck.
The good news is that the patterns keeping you stuck can change, often more than you'd expect.
What couples therapy with me looks like
My job is to help the two of you understand what keeps happening between you, and why, so you can do something different with it.
I draw on the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), two of the most well-researched approaches to couples work.
In practice, that means we look at how you communicate, the moments where things break down, and the deeper needs that often go unspoken underneath the conflict. I bring curiosity and directness in equal measure. I'll ask a lot of questions, and I won't shy away from naming what I see.
What I help couples with
Communication that keeps breaking down
Recurring conflict and gridlock
Navigating major life transitions together
Reconnecting after a period of distance
Differences that feel impossible to bridge

Recovering from infidelity is some of the hardest work a couple can do. There's the immediate crisis, and then the longer, harder question of whether rebuilding trust is something you both want to pursue.
I hold a Couples Infidelity Repair Specialist Certificate and draw on Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy to support couples through both. Whether you're in the acute aftermath or months into trying to find your footing, there's room for that work here.

Intimacy can erode gradually, or it can shift in response to a specific event, a stressful season, or the weight of time. Both are common and both are workable. We'll look at what's gotten in the way, what each of you is carrying, and what reconnecting might actually look like for the two of you.

Infertility puts a specific kind of strain on a relationship. The medical process, the grief, the waiting, and the way partners often cope differently can create real distance even when you're going through it together.
Therapy can offer a space to stay connected through the hardest parts: processing the grief, managing the strain, and staying present with each other when it feels easier to pull away.
How couples therapy via telehealth works
You and your partner can join from the same space or from separate locations in Vermont. All you need is privacy, a device with a camera, and a stable internet connection. Sessions are billed to one primary client, who needs to be located in Vermont at the time of the session.
One scheduling note: if you plan to use MVP or Evernorth insurance for couples therapy, reach out to me directly rather than booking online, and I'll get you set up.
Ready When You Are
Reaching out is often the hardest step, especially when things feel tense at home. You don't need to have it all worked out before you begin. That's what we'll do together.
