I have experience in dealing with the subject of infidelity and believe it is possible to rebuild the relationship in the aftermath.
I believe that marriage is a lifelong commitment and I also believe that it is a difficult task to maintain a healthy relationship over the course of the marriage. I seek to work with both partners in the relationship to help each discover ways they can support one another. I believe when both partners feel safe and secure in the relationship that most problems that arise are able to be dealt with in a healthy manner.

Do you find yourself repeating the same cycles and behaviors, feeling out of control or victim to your circumstances? Feeling seemingly unable to think, behave, or choose differently? Are you ready to commit and invest in yourself and regain control? These powerful cycles that consume us indicate something important - we as human beings are driven to repeat what we have not resolved. Pervasive and unaddressed emotions are often the culprit of these vicious cycles, demanding to be tended to and released so the system can function more in health.

You seemingly have it all together. Externally, you appear hard working, ambitious, high-achieving and organized, but internally, you’re overwhelmed and paralyzed by racing thoughts, perfectionism, fear of failure and self-doubt. Maintaining impossible standards and casting aside your needs to please others is beginning to take a toll and you're exhausted. The never ending “what if” scenarios consuming your mind leave you feeling drained and dreading the days ahead. Your worry causes sleepless nights, irritability and emotional instability which impact your energy levels, self-esteem, school or work performance, and relationships.

Kudos to you for considering counseling and researching your options. Whether you are returning to counseling or just getting started, it can be a daunting task, especially since counselors are not "one size fits all." Taking time to find a counselor that you "click with" can take your session from "okay" to meaningful and fulfilling. Many of my clients report feeling "stuck" in their situations and "tired of pretending to be okay". Some experience dark thoughts that they don't understand or know how to talk about, while others are ready for a change but don't know where to start. I often say, "being human is a messy experience."

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.
