Seeking to improve our relationship with ourselves and others can feel uncertain and overwhelming. As a therapist, I strive to remove barriers by providing an open, trusting, and nonjudgmental space where self-acceptance and healing can be fostered for individuals and partnerships. Difficulties such as life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, or unexpected events can leave us feeling disconnected and isolated. Through the collaborative experience of therapy, couples, polycules, or triads can find renewed, deeper bonds and individuals can untangle the past, process the current, and grow through supportive change.

Are you desperately trying to reconnect with your partner after experiencing infidelity in your relationship? Maybe you have underlying childhood trauma that has impacted your close relationships, especially how you relate to your partner? Or maybe your life has been fractured by addiction and you're struggling to find emotional equilibrium. Even though you’re committed to saving your relationship or, perhaps, have quit using substances, you may still feel like you haven’t addressed the core issues that keep you stuck. If only you knew how to truly connect with yourself, you could move your life in a more positive direction.

Sometimes we realize that we feel helpless, overwhelmed, or angry with our place or circumstances in life. If we are struggling to find comfort in our partner after infidelity, if we have trouble letting go of anxiety, or if we have found ourselves using substances in an unhealthy way, then it might be time to find someone we can trust to help us find that path through. Recognizing that you want change in your life is both powerful and frightening, but with support and care I believe that you will be able to begin to understand just how capable you are to build the life you want and deserve.

As a couple and family therapist, I help individuals and couples work on either fine-tuning their communications skills or major problem-solving, so they can finally move beyond issues such as pointless arguing, infidelity, emotional disconnection and lack of intimacy.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by the pain of wondering whether to leave or stay in your relationship because you've tried everything but nothing really works, I'd like to help. At times, you may feel angry and disappointed that the attraction, admiration or compassion for each other has begun to fade. Or you may sometimes believe things are starting to improve only to feel the tension return once again. It can be a draining dance that leaves you confused, wounded and bitter.

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.
