You love your partner, but find yourself wondering “what happened to us?”. You just keep waiting for things to get better on their own, but they don’t.

I help couples overcome conflict to create strong and harmonious relationships. As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I help couples quiet the conflict in their relationship. What were once heart-breaking conversations the couple did not know how to fix, turn into dialogue around making the relationship better, repairing old hurts, and deepening emotional connection. Whether the conflict stems from poor communication and emotional distance, to trauma, affairs, infertility, or substance use problems, the evidence based treatments can help couples communicate openly and find solutions, or decide it is time to move on.

Life can be challenging. When something throws us for a loop, our usual coping strategies may not be enough and we find ourselves feeling lost, afraid or unsure of what to do & how to manage. If you are experiencing a crisis or major life transition such as job loss, diagnosis of illness or chronic health condition, relationship crises (i.e., infidelity, abuse, separation), psychotherapy and clinical counselling can help you regain your bearings and cultivate novel coping strategies to get you back on your feet. As an EMDR trained therapist, I also offer this valuable therapy for healing from trauma and distressing experiences.

Experience: communication challenges, infidelity, childhood trauma, addiction, power dynamics.
A couples therapist inviting traditional/non-traditional folks, to come in so we can slow down and reflect together, in a safe and loving way. Let’s get curious together, to better understand your patterns, build insight, and identify what gets in the way of being able to experience a satisfying relationship, inner peace and calm, or a professional goal. Often, when we feel stuck in a repetitive cycle, it is because deep down we are transported back to painful past experiences.. maybe ones that threatened our shared humanity.. the most basic need: to love, and be loved. It doesn't matter where you start, as long as you do.

You might also try to manage this discontent with sexual affairs, compulsive pornography use, or find yourself in rollercoaster relationships, always sure you will stop next time but quickly find yourself there again.
You grew up in an unstable, chaotic, disconnected, or enmeshed home and now find intimacy, trust, and connection difficult in romantic relationships and friendships, as well as with yourself. You stay up at night, feeling anxious about how you relate or don’t relate to others, things you have said and done, blaming yourself. You want friends and partners who can understand you and be there for you but you also don’t know how to do these things. You might feel as if it is a lost cause, so you bottle this up and get up in the morning to keep going, putting on your mask of being fine.

How does therapy for infidelity work?
A skilled infidelity therapist will provide a safe space for clients to communicate their feelings and concerns. The goal is to be completely honest about what led to the cheating and how it has affected the entire family to prevent it from recurring in the future. The therapist will help the clients work on rebuilding mutual trust and respect and developing better communication and conflict-resolution skills. If the goal is to remain a couple, clients will learn the “danger signs” for their specific relationship, and they will make a renewed commitment to be faithful.
How long does therapy for infidelity take?
Recovery from infidelity can take time, and it can vary from person to person. Generally, a therapist will want to see the clients at least once a week for around six months. Then the sessions can be arranged as needed, depending on the clients’ individual needs. While therapy may end or shift to an as-needed basis, it can take up to two years or more for some clients to fully recover from infidelity.
How does therapy help the partner who was cheated on?
When a client discovers their partner’s infidelity, their trust in the relationship and in the life they had together may be shattered. They often experience mental health symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, grief, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They don’t always want to stay in the relationship; they may feel ambivalent or may even want to leave. Therapy gives these clients a safe and healthy way to communicate all of their complicated emotions and concerns.
How does therapy help the partner who committed infidelity?
Infidelity often occurs when one or both partners’ emotional needs are not being met in the relationship. Therapy can help this client understand why they cheated and figure out how to address those unmet needs without resorting to infidelity in the future. This can lessen (but not entirely eliminate) the risk of repeated infidelity. Clients who cheat may also feel intense guilt about deceiving their partners, a sentiment that they can work through in therapy.
