Couples Therapy in Virginia Beach, VA
Virtual therapy in Virginia Beach, VA and throughout the State of Virginia.
Relationships can feel lonely even when you're sitting right next to each other. I work with couples in Virginia Beach who are tired of having the same arguments, feeling more like roommates than partners, or wondering how a relationship that once felt easy became this hard.
– Margaux Flood, LCSW
Something’s gotta give.
“And to think I used to hang out with this person for fun”, you grumble, slamming plates into the sink after yet another weeknight dinner turned MMA-style emotional throwdown.
Either you’re at each other’s throats constantly or the silence is deafening… at this point, you don’t know which is worse.
You feel misunderstood and underappreciated, and the emotional distance between you is like a canyon.
You miss the days when you could just laugh together and enjoy each other’s company.
You’re drained from giving it your all but getting nowhere.
How Couples Therapy Can Help
Let's start with the bad news: The honeymoon's over.
The good news? The best days of your relationship are still ahead.
Remember when you first met, and everything felt shiny and perfect?
Now, you've seen each other's raw, unfiltered selves. And the very things that initially drew you to each other might now be driving you crazy.
We attract our partners for a reason - it helps us grow. But it can also lead to power struggles where each person is convinced their way of looking at the world is "right."
The magic happens when you tear down your defenses and let the other in completely. By truly understanding and honoring each other’s differences, you can both show up as your real selves and feel accepted for it.
It’s not about going back to the beginning, but rather moving forward and becoming even stronger as a couple.
When you face the hard stuff together, you build a connection that’s real and unbreakable.
Relationship Counseling for Virginia Beach Couples
Imagine rediscovering each other, not as you once were, but as the fully realized people you are now.
You can become that joyously connected couple again, this time grounded in true understanding and acceptance.
This isn’t just about returning to ‘good’; it’s about reinventing it as something even greater.
Before you know it, you’ll go from being the cringey couple bickering in Target to the even cringier couple giggling and holding hands in the canned goods aisle.
I can help you get there.

You don’t have to wait until your relationship is falling apart to come to couples therapy. If you’re having the same arguments over and over, struggling to communicate, feeling disconnected, dealing with resentment, or simply feeling more like roommates than partners, therapy can help you understand what’s happening between you and start changing the pattern.

Absolutely. Communication problems are one of the most common reasons couples come to therapy… but usually, there’s more happening underneath the communication breakdown. Couples therapy can help you recognize the patterns you keep getting stuck in, understand what each of you is actually trying to communicate, and learn new ways of navigating conflict without shutting down, blowing up, or having the same fight for the 400th time.

A superbill is a receipt made for insurance companies that details the services a therapist or health care provider performed needed for insurance payers to reimburse you for the services after you’ve paid. While I do not accept insurance directly for couples therapy, I am happy to provide you with a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
