Therapy for Couples Moving From
‘Me’ to ‘We’
Providing online counseling in Virginia for couples, and individuals within relationships, navigating major life transitions from marriage to parenthood and strengthening their shared foundation.
Where Your ‘We’ Begins to Take Shape
Major life transitions- engagement, marriage, pregnancy, early parenthood, growing your family- can quietly reshape a relationship.
Roles shift. Expectations surface. Communication patterns get tested.
Couples counseling during these seasons helps you pause, reflect, and intentionally strengthen your partnership so your relationship feels steady as your life expands.
You don’t have to navigate these changes on your own.
Therapy from the comfort of your own home.
Whether you’re coordinating two work schedules, managing childcare, navigating nap times or bedtimes, or simply prefer the ease of meeting from home, virtual therapy offers flexibility during already full seasons of life.
Secure video sessions make it possible for couples and parents to access meaningful support without added stress: no commuting, no arranging extra childcare, and no rushing from one responsibility to the next.
Virtual therapy allows you to prioritize your relationship and emotional well-being in a way that fits the life you’re actually living.
You deserve support as your relationship and family grows.
Here’s how I can help
Premarital & Relationship Foundations
Support for couples preparing for marriage or long-term partnership who want to build a strong, intentional foundation. This work focuses on communication, shared values, expectations, and navigating the transition from individual lives to a connected “we.”
Pregnancy & Prenatal Relationship Support
Counseling for couples and individuals navigating pregnancy and the transition into parenthood. This stage often brings emotional shifts, identity changes, and new relational stressors. Therapy during this time supports both individual well-being and the partnership as it grows.
Postpartum & Parenthood Relationship Support
Support for couples adjusting to life with children, whether you’re welcoming your first baby or growing your family. This work focuses on communication, division of labor, emotional connection, and strengthening the relationship during the demands of parenthood.

How do you know if counseling might be helpful?
Life transitions can quietly shift the dynamics of a relationship. Even strong partnerships can feel strained as roles change and new demands take shape.
You might notice:
Having the same argument repeatedly, without feeling resolved
Feeling like the mental or emotional load is uneven
Difficulty communicating needs without conflict or withdrawal
Feeling disconnected from your partner during a season that was expected to feel joyful
Wondering how to stay connected as responsibilities and identities evolve
For individual partners, especially during pregnancy or the postpartum period, this can also look like feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure how to voice your needs while caring for others.
Counseling can help couples and individuals better understand these shifts, strengthen communication, and rebuild connection during times of change.
If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or wanting more support as your relationship or family grows, counseling may be a helpful next step.
