Infidelity Therapists in 98109

Facing a pivotal moment in your relationship? You’re in the right place. I help individuals and couples navigate the big moments that can happen in romantic relationships: the happy transitions, like getting married & the painful situations, like recovering from infidelity or contemplating divorce. I have specialized training in Discernment Counseling, which helps couples on the brink of divorce get clarity on what they want to do with the future of their relationship, as well as Pre-Marital Counseling for couples who want to set up their relationship for success.

Do you and your partner struggle to understand each other? Does your ADHD lead to forgetfulness and arguments? Has infidelity or sexual addiction caused a rupture in trust with your relationship? I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate the unique challenges of neurodivergent relationships, as well as breaches of trust from betrayal. I can help you connect on a deeper level by leveraging your strengths and addressing emotional barriers making it hard to communicate and express empathy. Together, you can build a stronger, more supportive relationship and create the connection and intimacy you both want.

We all long for intimate human relationship but for many of us, we can't seem to shake this dull aching loneliness that resides in the pit of our souls. However, the inherent human need for meaningful relationships has remained elusive. Often, it feels easier to isolate than to face the intolerable reality. We have become experts at stifling our needs and desires. But when we enter into the presence of another, when we begin to tell our stories of heartache and pain, healing begins. We need a witness to our grief, someone to join alongside us as we lament. Above all, we need a place to experience belonging.

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!

It is common to feel loneliness and heartbreak when experiencing relationship difficulties (sexual concerns, poor communication, conflict without repair, lack of intimacy, codependence, wanting different things, working through a betrayal such as infidelity). I work with individuals, couples, and intimate partnerships who are experiencing relationship and sexual difficulties or mental health concerns, supporting each partner’s growth in self- and other-intimacy by helping each of you identify and skillfully communicate what you think, feel, and prefer and listen with curiosity and compassion as your partner does the same.

Are you thinking about divorce after discovering your partner's infidelity or sexual addiction? Are you tired of having the same arguments with no resolution? Is trauma or crippling anxiety keeping you from the life you want? I help clients navigate these challenges to create healthier relationships, heal from trauma, and create a path forward that supports a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I will provide you with empirically-based tools to overcome obstacles that may seem hopeless and help you create positive change in your life.

If there is one constant in life, it's change; a new job or suddenly having to look for one , a new relationship or a heart break, a marriage, a divorce, life not working out the way you had hoped. Let me help you navigate these uncertain times, helping you to find a way through them or take a new tack or tap into hidden strengths. Sometimes we can change the situation; sometimes we must change ourselves, tearing down limiting beliefs and narratives to create new beliefs and narratives that honor our true self, our true values, and our goals.

I work with men on the internal issues that are showing up in their lives. When relationships fray, affairs or divorce happens, layoffs, depression, stress, anger or numbness rear their ugly heads - it can be time to stop and figure out what needs to be addressed. As a man - a father, a son, a husband, a brother, a friend myself - I am acutely aware of the internal worlds of men, and the external rules that often keep us from talking about what is going on inside.

Do you struggle to feel arousal or pleasure during sex? Have you lost the sexual spark and excitement in your relationship? Do you struggle with desires, thoughts, and behaviors that you feel as though you can’t share with others for fear of shame, stigma, ignorance, or violence? Have you struggled to understand yourself as a sexual being due to stigmatizing beliefs and messages? Navigating the nuances of relationships, sex, sexual health, sexual identity, and gender identity can be difficult and exhausting on its own. Through open-minded, compassionate, and culturally competent care, I am committed to help you meet your goals.

As a marriage and family therapist I use a family systems approach based on gaining an understanding of how we think, feel and behave in the systems we belong to. I use an integrated approach, structuring sessions applicable to the client's needs; therefore, therapy is a collaborative effort and exchange. Both past and present life experiences shape who we are. Sometimes it can be difficult to navigate the many roles we play. It is my hope that I can help ease any discomfort or pain you experience in your families and relationships.

Your heart is hurting, you have tried so hard to make your relationships work. Your partner refuses to meet your needs after you have tried so hard to share.

You want to find peace and your efforts come up short. I can join with you to provide support and encouragement as you find the lost parts of yourself. Betrayal trauma can be healed with AF-EMDR which helps to knit your story together in a safe and healing way. https:woodlandpathways.com
