Struggling with communication, integrity, and cheating in your relationship? Having a hard time sleeping, eating, and focusing after finding out about your partner's affair? If you're finding it hard to heal from the trauma of an affair, it may be high time to get support.

As a therapist specializing in sexual health, I offer a supportive environment to help you navigate your path to recovery.

Are you having the same fight over and over again with your partner? I work with couples around topics like sex (pain with sex, different libidos, healing from affairs, feeling emotionally or sexually disconnected) as well as other conflict around chores, roles, money, etc. The pain of having the same fight again and again contributes over time to a break down in trust, love and connection. These ruptures can build up over time as resentment, which speeds up the disconnection process. I love helping couples re-find each other, re-build trust, and re-connect!
