I am experienced in addictions, infidelity, infertility, grief and loss.
Throughout our lives, painful losses and traumatic experiences can build up, affecting our daily functioning and emotional well-being. Psychotherapy offers a path to deeper self-awareness, helping you uncover how early traumas impact your relationships, self-perception, and the way you engage with the world around you. As a West Indian therapist of color, I bring a unique perspective rooted in a deep understanding of historical and cultural influences that shape "who we are" as individuals and as a community. I am dedicated to creating a safe and affirming space for you to explore important issues such as acculturation and identity.

Some of the clients I have helped with EMDR have been through experiences such as betrayal trauma, attachment wounding, adverse childhood experiences such as dealing with an abusive/irresponsible or immature parent, confidence issues, relationship issues, and anxiety.
Have you tried talk therapy with little to no success? As a certified EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapist, I can help. EMDR is a type of brain-based therapy that can help reprocess and desensitize traumatic or adverse experiences so that you can have more fulfilling relationships and less severe trauma reactions. I will walk you through this type of therapy- no need to worry about knowing "what to do" or that it will be too serious. We'll do the hard work plus have fun doing it.

I am continually amazed at the ability of the human spirit to heal. A traumatic event or the build-up of everyday living can feel overwhelming and you may become disconnected from the person you used to be. You sometimes find yourself coping with life in ways you never would have expected. Recognizing that your coping skills are no longer able to manage your stress is the first step. My clients work to rediscover, and often discover, the person they were meant to be. My joy comes from witnessing my clients move from being stuck to living fully.

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.
