I have worked with couples who are having relational issues, gay and lesbian couples, intergenerational couples, couples practicing polyamory or open relationships, and couples experiencing infidelity.
Sometimes you come into counseling knowing exactly what you want to change and sometimes it takes time for us to discover this together. Whatever your issue may be, we can collaboratively work through your issues together. My background is varied as I have experience working with children as well as adults. I believe no problem is too big or too small to tackle.

If you struggle with anxiety, anger, church hurt or abuse, depression, life transitions, racial-related distress, a lack of resilience, spiritual maturity, or trauma, I would love the opportunity to share tools that can help you find relief. For individuals, the journey begins with identifying your feelings, understanding the goals of your behavior, and exploring childhood pain. I assist couples to repair past emotional injuries including the heartbreak and betrayal of infidelity. I can help any couple create a safe space to share their deepest longings, learn to communicate well, and create a new relationship.

I provide counseling for people going through life transitions that make them feel stuck, hopeless, lost, and confused. I help people who are challenged in their everyday lives or serious life changes that require adaptation and change. Throughout my 12 years in practice, I have counseled clients in overcoming infidelity, divorces, self-esteem issues, relationship conflict, depression, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, perfectionism, and shame. I provide a safe space where you can be open, vulnerable, and most importantly yourself. Together we will uncover your truth, heal your past, and discover the life you want to have.

Are you excited to chat about your sex addiction, porn addiction & intimacy issues? If you said "yes," you'd be the first. Unfortunately, these issues may be running your life. And that corrosive shame deep in your bones? It's likely rooted in trauma (I'll be shocked if it's not). Fortunately, through attachment work, EMDR & other modalities, we can heal emotional wounds and move you toward recovery & wholeness. I also work with couples because I learned in grad school that, apparently, relationships are hard. There's infidelity, betrayal trauma, mismatched libidos, the fact that your partner talks to his mom nine times a day...

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.
