I specialize in couples struggling with a sexless marriage, a lack of emotional intimacy, or recovering from infidelity.
Relationships are wonderful. But, there are also times when a couple can feel stuck. They find themselves replaying the same fights and running into the same roadblocks as they try to find the intimacy, love, and connection they once knew. I help couples to improve their communication, and build more emotional intimacy and physical intimacy. Helping them to find that deep sense of love and connection that brought them together in the first place.

I work with many adult children of alcoholics, women aspiring to live fuller and balanced lives, partners healing from infidelity, clients struggling with social anxiety, and spouses whose partner is uninterested in couples therapy.
Quality psychotherapy can be life-altering, especially when one is motivated and open to the process necessary for change. I enjoy working with individuals who are looking to develop a more grounded sense of self and seeking meaning and direction in daily living. Adults of all ages come to my practice to improve and enrich their relationships with partners, children, family members, friends and colleagues. I work with individuals who are looking to deepen trust and connection, learn communication skills, and resolve repetitive conflicts in order to cultivate resilient and joyful partnership.

Therapy can be a beautiful awakening to discovering parts of yourself that can be resourced for a fuller, deeper, and more meaningful life. When we take the time to sit down and journey within in a loving and intentional manner, stuck feelings can be freed, forgiveness can emerge, and healing can take place. I strive to aid in the unfolding of the inner experience where mental flexibility and fortitude flourish.

Early experiences result in our developing defensive structures that are meant to protect our vulnerability, but also create restrictions in our capacity to feel or perceive what is happening in the moment. This patterning shapes our perception of others, and also of ourselves. Although traditional insight-oriented talk therapy allows for an understanding which can harmonize our awareness with our everyday life, we embody early experience in ways that limit the power of insight to undo, and restrict our emotional intelligence. My orientation to psychotherapy is to work through emotional and experiential patterning, without bypassing the power of understanding.

Infidelity Therapists

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.
