I have worked with military and civilian couples on communication, infidelity, finances, parenting and marriage enrichment.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, I am passionate about partnering with my clients, developing a plan and moving forward toward hope and healing. I have worked with people both personally and professionally for over 20 years. I work best with clients who are committed to their counseling and healing process. Hope and healing can be accomplished as the client is given a safe, caring and confidential environment which allows the client the room needed to begin and walk through the healing process.

Are you experiencing a sense of disconnection from yourself and those around you? Do you often prioritize others' needs over your own? Are you questioning why life doesn't feel as fulfilling or joyful as you hoped? In today's uncertain times, many people are grappling with feelings of anxiety and overwhelm, unsure of how to navigate their relationships, careers, and overall well-being. Ignoring your own needs and neglecting self-care can have lasting consequences on your mental and physical health. I believe that achieving a better quality of life shouldn't feel like an uphill battle.

It's inevitable - couples will experience challenges in their relationship, and become overwhelmed by them. Like many of my clients, you may find you're emotionally distant, stuck in ongoing arguments, engaging in destructive language, hurt from acts of betrayal, or dealing with patterns of interactions that diminish love, security, and connection. The attempts to "fix it," or re-connect, are at times promising but don't last long. If you've found yourself in this place, struggling to find hope where it once existed, reaching out to a therapist can be intimidating because you're not sure if it will be worth it, or helpful.

Stress, anxiety and other difficult emotions may be a normal part of life, but they don't have to be in the driver's seat on life's journey. Through my 25+ years of experience as a counselor and my personal experience of having to reclaim the driver's seat from debilitating anxiety/depression, I have learned the truth behind Marcel Proust's claim that "The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes". It is my goal to help people gain new "eyes" through which to view current or past experiences.

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.
