Couples Therapy in Annapolis, MD

When your relationship feels like it’s falling apart, the last thing you want is surface-level advice.


 At Poole Conflict Solutions, we work with couples in Columbia who are dealing with high conflict, betrayal, or major transitions—like becoming parents or deciding whether to stay together. These are heavy, painful situations, and you deserve support that’s discreet, specialized, and actually helps you make progress.

Whether you’re feeling stuck in the same fight over and over again, struggling to recover after infidelity, or overwhelmed by the shift that happened after having a baby, we get how hard it is to try to fix things on your own. You’ve probably read books, listened to podcasts, and maybe even tried therapy before. But if it wasn’t targeted to the kind of conflict you're dealing with, it likely didn’t work.

  • Learn how to listen without getting flooded or shutting down

  • Strengthen your ability to talk through difficult topics without it turning into a fight

  • Develop tools to reconnect emotionally, even when you disagree

  • Rebuild emotional safety so you both feel heard and less guarded

  • Identify and shift harmful communication patterns like criticism, defensiveness, and stonewalling

  • Repair trust after past hurt or repeated conflict

Support for Infidelity and Broken Trust

Betrayal changes everything. If one of you has had an affair — emotional, physical, or even digital — the pain cuts deep. You might feel angry, devastated, confused, or numb. You may want to leave. You may want to stay. Most people feel both.

I’ve helped many couples navigate this exact kind of crisis. There’s no quick fix, but there is a clear path forward. In our work together, we’ll slow everything down and create structure, space, and safety. We’ll talk through what happened, what it meant, and whether healing together is possible. You don’t have to decide everything right away. My job is to help you make that decision with clarity, not chaos.

Online Therapy in Annapolis, MD

Although Poole Conflict Solutions is a fully virtual practice, I know Annapolis well. Whether you're in Eastport, West Annapolis, or nearby communities like Arnold or Severna Park, I understand the pace and pressures of life here. And I know that between work, kids, and stress, you don’t always have time to drive to a therapist’s office.

Virtual sessions make therapy more accessible and discreet. You can meet from the privacy of your home, during a lunch break, or even from separate locations if you and your partner need space. Therapy shouldn’t add more stress to your life — it should make things easier.

Your relationship can get better. The connection you’ve lost — or maybe never had — doesn’t have to stay out of reach. Whether you’re navigating constant conflict, trying to recover from betrayal, or struggling to reconnect after kids, help is available.

At Poole Conflict Solutions, I provide online couples therapy for clients across Annapolis, MD and throughout Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. You deserve support that’s specialized, discreet, and effective.
