Welcome, thanks for reading! PT has limited space so pardon the list: 1-Everyone can benefit from therapy! I don't know you or anyone you know. Who doesn't want someone to listen, accept, and not judge them? 2-Examples of your goals can be change or acceptance. I can help you find peace in whoever you decide you are or are not. 3-Struggling with identity (sexual, gender, religious, racial, immigrant, status, cultural, or something else) is common. 4-Most pain is rooted from something that needs attention. Let's look at it and respect its presence. I'll do my best to earn your trust with my life, education, and experience.

I support couples in moving from disconnection to connection. I work with couples who lack emotional intimacy, have recurring conflicts, no physical affection, have communication issues, and feel frustrated. My treatment approach is through a blend of Energy Psychology, Imago Relationship, and Somatic Therapy. My goal is to turn negativity and conflict into opportunities for growth and healing. I assist couples in understanding their early childhood attachment and how it currently affects them, communicate with compassion, react to conflict with curiosity rather than judgment, and learn to rekindle the passion.

We all deserve to feel good about our selves. We all deserve to be listened to. Therapy is a catalyst for change. Patterns are identified; negative thinking patterns and core negative thoughts, that hold you back, are exposed and challenged. The environment is safe and nonjudgemental. It is a collaborative experience. There are new ways of looking at things, and with it a stronger sense of self and personal power.

I will help you break old dysfunctional patterns, communicate more effectively, self/co-regulate emotions better, foster a healthy connection/intimacy, and even recover from infidelity/betrayal of trust.
Are you currently in a romantic relationship that feels stagnant or unstable? Or are you currently single because you struggle finding a healthy romantic relationship? You’re not alone. So many of us have relational issues that prevent us from living an authentic and fulfilling life. Of course we all want to have healthy relationships with important people in our lives, especially with romantic partners. But we often struggle creating/maintaining healthy romantic relationships because of the unaddressed attachment issues from our childhood. And without healing attachment wounds, we repeat similar relationship patterns over and over.

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.
