For Couples Feeling Stuck
Does This Sound Like Your Relationship?
You love your partner deeply, yet you feel so alone in this relationship. Every conversation seems to turn into the same argument or uncomfortable silence. You might find yourself thinking "We keep having the same fight over and over" or "I feel like we're becoming roommates instead of lovers."
The couples therapy process can help when you're feeling unheard and misunderstood, even by someone who loves you. You might be constantly walking on eggshells or bracing for the next conflict. Perhaps you're lying in bed next to each other feeling miles apart, wondering how two people who care so much can hurt each other so deeply.
This emotional toll leaves many couples questioning whether their love is strong enough to survive these painful cycles.
Support for Two
What is Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy in Arlington is a specialized form of relationship counseling that helps partners understand the root causes of their conflicts and learn new ways to communicate, connect, and rebuild trust. Unlike individual therapy, couples work focuses on the dynamic between partners and the patterns that keep you stuck.
In our couples therapy sessions, we'll explore how your individual backgrounds, childhood experiences, and attachment styles influence your relationship. Using evidence-based approaches like Imago Relationship Therapy and Attachment-Based methods, we'll help you move from conflict to understanding, from distance to intimacy, and from surviving to thriving together.

FAQs About Couples Therapy
How long does couples therapy take to see results?
Many couples notice positive shifts within the first few sessions as you begin practicing new communication techniques. Lasting change typically develops over 3-6 months of consistent work, though every couple's timeline is unique.
What if my partner is reluctant to attend couples therapy?
It's common for one partner to be more hesitant. I work with many initially reluctant partners who end up finding therapy helpful and even enjoyable. We focus on understanding, not blame, which helps create a safe environment for both people.
Do you take insurance for couples therapy in Arlington?
Currently, I offer private pay sessions at $160 per couples session. I can provide documentation for potential insurance reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits.
Can couples therapy help if we've been struggling for years?
Yes, even long-standing patterns can change with the right approach. Sometimes couples who have struggled the longest see the most dramatic improvements because they're highly motivated to create change.
What if we've tried couples therapy before without success?
Different approaches work for different couples. My integration of Imago, Schema, and Attachment-Based methods may offer new insights and tools that previous therapy didn't provide.
