Couples therapy can be helpful when you and your partner feel stuck in recurring patterns of conflict, disconnection, or misunderstanding. You may benefit from therapy if communication has become difficult, disagreements are hard to resolve, you’re struggling to feel heard or understood, or you’ve noticed a change in emotional or physical connection. Couples therapy isn’t only for relationships in crisis—it can also be a valuable resource for couples who want to strengthen their relationship, navigate a major life transition, or improve how they communicate and support one another. Seeking support early can provide an opportunity to address concerns before they become more difficult to navigate.

Couples therapy can help you and your partner move beyond recurring arguments and better understand the patterns that contribute to conflict. Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to slow down difficult conversations, improve communication, and learn how to express needs and concerns in ways that feel more constructive and respectful. Together, you can develop healthier ways of managing disagreements, increase empathy and understanding, repair moments of disconnection, and build a stronger sense of partnership. The goal isn’t to eliminate all conflict, but to help you navigate differences in a way that strengthens your relationship.

Couples therapy may incorporate different evidence-based approaches depending on the needs and goals of each relationship. The Gottman Method focuses on strengthening friendship and connection, improving communication, managing conflict, and developing a deeper understanding of one another. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help partners make space for difficult emotions, respond to challenges with greater flexibility, and stay connected to their shared and individual values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may contribute to conflict or disconnection. These approaches can be integrated to help couples communicate more effectively, navigate differences, and build a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

I offer virtual therapy sessions throughout New Jersey and New York, providing a convenient and private way to access therapy from the comfort of your own space.

My fee is $250 for a 45-minute individual therapy session. I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance companies directly. However, depending on your insurance plan, you may have out-of-network mental health benefits that allow you to receive reimbursement for a portion of your session fee. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask about your specific out-of-network benefits, deductible, reimbursement rate, and any required documentation.

Working with an out-of-network therapist can also offer greater flexibility and choice in finding a therapist who is the right fit for your needs, rather than being limited to a specific insurance network. It may also provide more flexibility in the therapeutic process and the type of care you receive. If helpful, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
