Life can present us with challenges we're not prepared for. Underlying issues can make it difficult to cope resulting in difficult moods -- anger or irritability, overwhelm, depression or anxiety, sadness, grief. Other reasons for therapy include relationship troubles (e.g., romantic, family, friends), unresolved trauma, demanding life transitions, stubborn self-defeating patterns, and low self-esteem undermining your life. Psychotherapy can help you move proactively through these challenges with better outcomes and more confidence.

Infidelity can be the most challenging issue a couple faces but it does not have to mean the end of the relationship, only a clear sign that change needs to happen.
Life has never been particularly easy, but lately we are faced with additional stress. As a psychologist, I meet with men and women, couples and families who are coping with conflict in their marriages, conflicts with their children, financial pressures, and workplace stress. Things might seem so overwhelming that we despair of ever recapturing the happiness and optimism that we once might have had. I can show you ways to reduce your anxiety, and develop new coping strategies to improve interactions in your family, your relationships and your workplace. You can find confidence and recapture a sense of well being.

Concerns for my adult clients most often include depression, anxiety, loss, bereavement, infidelity, divorce, trauma, relationship/communication difficulties, parenting struggles, life transitions and executive functioning/low productivity.
I have been in practice as a licensed psychologist for the past 28 years in Marin County where I was also born and have raised my two boys. My approach is integrative as it considers all relevant biological, psychological and environmental influences on a person’s well-being and areas of distress. Therapy sessions leave ample space for attachment-based processing of one's inner struggles and vulnerabilities as they naturally arise in the midst of a caring therapeutic relationship. They also include collaborative, practical, and hands-on problem solving as well as exploration of CBT strategies appropriate to the developmental age.

Whether you are just beginning to notice a sense of disconnection, on the brink of separation or divorce, or dealing with infidelity or another crisis, there is hope.
Being in a long-term relationship is HARD. You entered into your relationship with hope and optimism, but now, the stresses of everyday life—kids, work, finances, housework, or repeated conflicts—leave you feeling disconnected. You barely have time to slow down, but when you do, there’s a sense that you’ve lost the spark that initially drew you and your partner together. Couples therapy is a chance to slow down amidst the noise of everyday life and create space to prioritize and grow that connection again.

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.
