Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy in Brockton, MA.
Stop Fighting the Same Battles
Enough of the endless cycle of blame, yelling, and shutting down. Together, we’ll identify the patterns and triggers that spark conflict—and you’ll learn how to step off the hamster wheel. You’ll spot the warning signs early, navigate tough conversations with clarity, and turn arguments into opportunities to grow closer instead of farther apart.
Repair Fast, Connect Deep
No more silent treatments or grudges that linger for days. You’ll learn how to own your words, apologize in a way that actually heals, and restore connection quickly. Every conflict becomes a chance to strengthen your bond, not weaken it.
Finally Feel Truly Understood
You’ll uncover the emotions and unmet needs that drive misunderstandings—and then learn to communicate in ways that your partner can really hear. No walls. No guessing games.
Face Life’s Challenges as a Team
Stress, change, and curveballs are inevitable. You’ll learn how to turn toward each other, not away, so life’s challenges feel lighter. Together, you become unshakable—your relationship becomes a true source of support, safety, and resilience.
Heal After Betrayal and Rebuild Trust
Infidelity or broken trust doesn’t have to define your relationship. I’ll help you express the hurt openly while your partner truly listens and shows they understand. When your pain is reflected back with empathy, real healing begins—and your connection deepens beyond what you thought possible.
Rekindle Desire and Intimacy
Emotional safety and connection lay the foundation for passion to return. Through deeper attunement, you’ll feel desire, closeness, and pleasure flow naturally again.
Resolve Old Wounds and Move Forward
Once you feel safe being vulnerable, you’ll grieve past mistakes and misunderstandings together. Old resentments transform into understanding, trust, and teamwork—creating a relationship that’s stronger and more connected than ever.
Build a Bold, Thriving Partnership
No more “me vs. you.” You’ll learn to share your fears, dreams, and deepest desires with confidence, honesty, and trust. Together, you’ll create a partnership that’s emotionally alive, physically connected, and built to last.
Reconnect with the relationship that once made your heart lift.
The Process of Couples Therapy in Brockton, MA
Session one:
couple together
In our first session, we’ll meet together to begin exploring what’s pulling you apart. I’ll introduce Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and explain how each session will guide you toward understanding, connection, and change.
We’ll identify the patterns that keep you stuck—the cycles of conflict, withdrawal, or escalation that feed frustration and hurt. By seeing how these dynamics operate and how each of you contributes, you’ll start to recognize the choices you have in responding differently.
Even small shifts in how you handle arguments, stress, or overwhelm can transform your interactions, creating space for trust, emotional safety, and a renewed sense of closeness in your relationship.
Session two and three: individual sessions
In sessions two and three, I’ll meet with each of you one-on-one. These individual sessions give me space to hear your story, understand your experiences, and explore what matters most to you in the relationship. We’ll dig into your thoughts, feelings, and patterns, and I may offer new perspectives to help you see the relationship—and your role in it—more clearly. The goal is to strengthen our connection with each of you while supporting the relationship as a whole.
Session four and beyond:
couple together
I’ll help you both pause and bring awareness to the moments where connection breaks down—during heated arguments, overwhelming emotions, or times when one of you feels unseen or hurt. Together, we’ll uncover the deeper emotions that often go unspoken—feelings that, when shared safely, allow your partner to truly feel your care and create meaningful, lasting connection.
If betrayal, including infidelity, has occurred, I’ll guide conversations so the hurt partner can fully express their pain and feel truly heard. This creates space for both of you to process the grief, understand each other more deeply, and begin rebuilding trust and emotional closeness.
Ready to try for real?
With the right support and real work, your relationship can feel totally different.
That flicker of hope you’re carrying? It matters. Pay attention to it.
Couples therapy isn’t just a place to unload—it’s a space to slow down, make sense of what’s going on between you, and actually do something about it. With clarity. With guidance. With someone who won’t look away when it gets raw.
You’ve tried managing this on your own.
Now you don’t have to.
If some part of you still wants to fight for this—let’s start there.
Couples Therapy & Infidelity Counseling FAQ
(Serving Brockton, MA, and online throughout Massachusetts)
Is it too late for us to start couples counseling?
No. It’s never too late to seek help, even if things feel hopeless right now. I specialize in working with high-conflict couples, partners in crisis, and relationships on the brink of separation. Many couples come in unsure whether they can (or even want to) stay together. In therapy, we’ll slow down the arguments, identify what’s really driving the pain, and create a structured space where you can begin to see each other differently.
What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and why do you use it?
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a research-backed, structured approach to couples therapy. Unlike quick communication tips, EFT goes to the heart of disconnection—helping you understand the cycles of conflict that keep you stuck. In session, you’ll learn how to reach for each other in new ways, build emotional safety, and repair old wounds. EFT is one of the most effective methods for affair recovery and rebuilding trust after betrayal.
We’re dealing with infidelity. Can therapy really help us recover?
Yes. Betrayal shakes the foundation of a relationship, but recovery is possible. In affair recovery counseling in Brockton, MA, and online across Massachusetts, we focus on:
-
Helping the hurt partner process anger, grief, and shock
-
Supporting the unfaithful partner as they rebuild trust
-
Identifying the deeper disconnection that left the relationship vulnerable
-
Learning new ways of reaching out and repairing
Many couples not only survive infidelity, but also create a stronger, more authentic bond in the process.
What if one of us isn’t sure we want to stay together?
This is very common. When one partner is leaning out while the other wants to stay, I offer Discernment Counseling. This short-term, structured process helps both of you get clarity on whether to try couples therapy or move toward separation with greater understanding. It’s not about pushing anyone—it’s about helping you both make a decision with honesty and care.
Do both partners need to attend sessions?
Yes. Couples therapy only works when both partners are present—either in person or online. Even if one of you is unsure, showing up is the first step. You don’t have to have all the answers right away; therapy gives you the space to figure it out together.
If you're partner is not ready for couples work, individual therapy might be a better fit.
We’ve tried counseling before, and it didn’t work. How will this be different?
I hear this often. Many couples have seen therapists who weren’t trained in couples work or didn’t know how to handle the intensity of infidelity and high conflict. My approach is different because:
-
I am highly trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, a proven, structured model for repairing relationships.
-
I work with a small caseload, which means I’m deeply engaged and invested in your process.
-
I remember your history, your patterns, and your progress—we’re not starting over every week.
You won’t be alone in this work. We’ll take it step by step, together.
I offer couples counseling, affair recovery therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy in Brockton, Massachusetts, and through secure online sessions across the entire state of MA. If your relationship is in crisis, there is still a way forward.
