Couple Hugging

You can handle almost
anything - except feeling this disconnected.

You’re both living with the shock of infidelity — one carrying the wound, the other carrying the weight — and neither of you knows what to do next.

Every attempt to talk about it spirals. One of you fears being hurt again, the other fears you’ll never believe they can change.

Every conversation leads right to conflict, and you’re terrified that one more fight might be the one you can’t recover from.

You’re stuck in that painful in-between: afraid of losing the relationship, yet just as afraid of staying where you are. One of you leans out, the other leans in—both knowing you don’t want this to continue.

Reps Matter: Couples Therapy That Gets Results.

Hey, I’m Kimberly—but Kim works just fine.

You want this to work—you really do. But right now, it feels like you're out of tools, out of words, and maybe even out of time. I want you to know: it’s not too late.

I help people in the thick of it—marriages on the brink, relationships stretched thin, hearts worn down. And here’s the thing: real change is possible. There is a way forward.

I see my role as your consultant—someone who walks with you, offering insight and observations as you come into contact with the shifts that need to happen for your relationship to thrive. Together, we’ll interrupt old patterns, test new ways of connecting, and build something stronger—whether that’s healing together or parting with clarity and care.

This work is hard, but it’s also full of hope. And I’m here to help you find your way back to what matters most.

Let’s get to work.

My Services

Explore my range of specialized therapy services designed to support couples in all of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Florida.

Bride and groom excited and in love after having couples therapy.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps couples move out of repetitive conflict and into deeper connection. By slowing down the cycle—whether it’s explosive arguments or quiet shutdowns—partners learn to share softer emotions, rebuild trust, and strengthen both emotional and physical intimacy. I also offer private Couples Therapy Intensives that jump-start healing without disrupting a busy schedule.

Couple on Cruise

Discovering that your partner has cheated can feel like the ground’s been ripped out from under you. For the partner who’s done the hurting, the shame and regret can be just as overwhelming. 

This is the part where most couples get stuck. But with the right kind of support, it’s possible to slow things down, understand what happened, and figure out what healing and possible forgiveness could look like.

I also work with couples navigating secret online behavior or excessive porn use.

Couple Overlooking Landscape

Discernment counseling is a short-term, highly structured process for couples where one partner is leaning out and the other is leaning in. I meet with you both together and individually, guiding each of you through a precise set of questions to clarify what you’re feeling and what you want right now. By the end, you’ll each have a clear understanding of your position—whether that means keeping things as they are, moving toward divorce or separation, or committing to a time-limited round of couples therapy with divorce off the table.

You say it’s “just a rough patch.”
Your hearts know it’s something deeper.

You can’t fix this on your own. You need a clear, structured process to understand what’s happening, repair trust, and decide if your relationship can move forward. Couples Therapy or Discernment Counseling shows you exactly how.

I'm also a highly trained and experienced Emotionally Focused Individual Therapist.  If you're looking for individual therapy for divorce, attachment trauma, or midlife reinvention please see my other website: Brave Season Therapy.
