Therapy for Men with Relationship Issues

Cut through the noise, tackle the tough stuff, and bring the spark back.

Helping men shatter old patterns, conquer the impossible conversations, and reignite passion—because being the partner you’ve always wanted to be starts with
rewriting the rules of connection.

You're doing well in so many areas of your life—your career is thriving, your friends are supportive, and your kids bring you so much joy. But when it comes to your relationship with your partner, things feel like they're falling apart.

Maybe you come home after a long day, hoping to connect, but the conversation quickly turns into criticism or silence. You’ve tried planning date nights, but they often end in arguments or feel distant, leaving you even more discouraged.

You might find yourself snapping over something small—like a forgotten chore or an offhand comment—and then spending hours regretting how you handled it. Or maybe you retreat,

spending more time on your phone or staying late at work to avoid yet another tense evening.

At night, you lie awake replaying the same fights in your head, wondering what you could have said differently or how things got this bad. You've tried to make changes, but when you’re stressed or emotional, you slip back into old patterns—like shutting down, getting defensive, or saying things you don’t mean.

It’s exhausting and heartbreaking because you’re trying so hard, but it feels like the more effort you put in,

the more distant you both become.

You're in the right place. My job is to help you uncover your softer feelings (yes, if you breathe, you have softer feelings!) and share them with your partner in a way that truly connects.
It takes courage, but you’ve already proven you can do hard things.
You know how to put in the effort—let me guide you in showing up for your partner in ways that make them feel deeply loved and valued.

Flip shouting matches into inside jokes only the two of you get.

Turn blow-out fights into belly laughs that make you forget why you were mad.

Trade cold shoulders for warm, lingering hugs that feel like magic.

Spin stress into epic shared adventures you’ll laugh about later.

Transform awkward silences into sparks that light up the whole room.

Switch boring chats into flirty banter that keeps you grinning like a fool.

Confronting the things that are causing problems in your life
is the first step to feeling in control again.

Online Therapy for Men in Boston, MA
can help you to: 

  • Discover healthier ways to respond when your partner yells or gets angry.

  • Pinpoint the deeper reasons you feel stuck, isolated, or misunderstood in relationships**, and start breaking those patterns.

  • Recognize and share your triggers, so small frustrations don’t turn into full-blown arguments.

  • Stop saying things in anger that you later regret.

  • Explore what’s holding you back from sexy times, whether it’s stress, past experiences, or feeling unwanted, and work on ways to rebuild that spark.

  • Lower your anxiety and worry.

  • Identify the patterns and habits that aren’t serving you—like shutting down, getting defensive, or avoiding tough conversations—and kick them to the curb.

  • Model healthy, respectful relationship skills for your children.

  • Find healthier, more effective ways to cope with challenges, beyond substances or zoning out.

**You don't have to be in a relationship to identify your patterns and change them for the next relationship.

Therapy for Men with Relationship Issues - Parenting When You Weren't Parented Well

The family you dreamed of building feels far from the one you see in front of you.

Deep down, you fear that the problem might be you.

You find it hard to stay engaged, struggle to speak your partner’s love language, and wish you could turn off distractions to truly tune in to your kids.

You wanted to create a family so different from the one you grew up in, but you’ve never had a clear plan to make it happen.

Together, we can uncover that plan—the vision you held when you first dreamed of being (or becoming) a father. In our sessions, we’ll explore what fatherhood means to you and work through the blocks standing between you and the family life you’ve always wanted.
