My ideal clients are individuals, partners, and couples in Michigan (Farmington Hills + telehealth) impacted by betrayal trauma, porn/sex addiction, and relationship rupture. They feel anxious, hypervigilant, ashamed, or numb and want trauma-informed care that protects safety and truth. They need structure (APSATS, ERCEM, CSAT/CMAT), nervous-system stabilization (EMDR-informed, somatic work, breathwork, hypnotherapy), and steady guidance through disclosure, boundaries, and trust repair. Their goals: reclaim self-trust, reduce triggers, restore integrity, and rebuild secure connection. They want lasting change, not quick fix.
Michigan trauma therapist for betrayal trauma (APSATS, ERCEM/CCPS), porn & sex addiction (CSAT/CMAT), & couples healing after infidelity. Farmington Hills, and statewide telehealth: EMDR-informed therapy, hypnotherapy, breathwork, somatic regulation, and Gottman/ ERCEM skills—so you can stabilize, rebuild trust, and reconnect. With a clear structure
Reaching out after betrayal, addiction, or trauma can feel scary. If you’ve carried shame, confusion, or hypervigilance alone, you’re not alone. You deserve steady support. When you’re ready, I’ll meet you with warmth and structure at a safe pace. Together we’ll calm your nervous system, rebuild self-trust, and move toward truth, connection, and relief now.

I help with betrayal trauma, porn/sex addiction, and relationship repair after infidelity. Treatment begins with stabilization, assessment and clear goals, then builds accountability, boundaries and regulation with somatic tools and EMDR-informed strategy. Couples work includes disclosure prep, ERCEM/Gottman communication and trust repair. Expect less shame, fewer triggers, and a safer connection.
