Trauma? Infidelity? Desire personal growth? Letting go of unhealthy or destructive ways of thinking - even when we know they aren't working - can be difficult and hurtful. With support, however, even the most challenging issues can be explored and addressed to help create a clearer path to the life/relationship you choose. Every person comes to therapy with a beautifully unique cultural background and personal history. I celebrate these individual differences. Ask about my specialized training for treating trauma! I am also a Board approved Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in Texas.

I specialize working with: Depression and anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, codependency, personality disorders, infidelity, divorce/separation, abandonment and rejection issues, loss of purpose/direction, perfectionism, obsessive thinking, low self-worth, control issues, career planning, parenting skills, conflict resolution and communication skills, self-esteem, identity and spirituality, wellness and more.
Sometimes the hardest thing we might do is taking the first step to begin counseling- getting help means we have struggles. The issues we face in life have the ability to deeply damage us, but also the potential for personal growth. Be encouraged that the first step to emotional healing is difficult, but it's worth taking. We can know how to love ourselves better if our value can be affirmed by someone who cares, and you can face them knowing you are not alone. I can help you reach your goals for counseling, or perhaps even find out where to begin.

I specialize in couples therapy, as I strongly believe that relationships are a core way we learn about ourselves; both the parts of us we like; as well as the parts we don't. When we're triggered by our partner, it's always an opportunity to learn about what still needs healing in ourselves. As we navigate life's stages, ALL of us will change...but in relationships, these changes don't always stay in sync, and that can feel stressful. Couples therapy is a way to recalibrate things; to upgrade our communication skills, rebuild our trust, grow our intimacy; and to create understanding and acceptance of our newfound differences.

Life can be hard. Especially when we feel disconnected from the people that we should feel the closest to. Sometimes difficult life circumstances stand in the way of us experiencing better connection. Sometimes it can feel like being stuck in a cycle that just continues to pull us back in no matter how hard we try to break free. Sometimes we are in the cycle so long that it feels helpless and hopeless.

What you have come to experience as "normal" doesn't feel normal. You hope there is a way to be happy. Maybe you were before this happened. You've developed coping skills to protect yourself and get through. Sometimes however, the protections have created new problems. You may have become someone you don't recognize: anxious, lethargic, angry, scared, sad, detached, unmotivated, passive, too eager to please. The list goes on. It can be hard to see past the world we're immersed in, gain clear perspectives, and make needed changes without help.

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.
