I specialize in working with individuals and relationships who are hurting from betrayal, infidelity, or the effects of sex addiction. Whether you are a partner, part of a couple, or a family navigating the pain of broken trust, I provide a safe space to sort through the overwhelm, confusion, and conflict that betrayal brings. In our work together, you’ll learn practical ways to express your emotions and needs, build healthier coping tools, and begin restoring a sense of balance and well-being. My goal is to walk alongside you as you rebuild trust in yourself, in your relationships, and in the future ahead.
As a trauma specialist, I have advanced training through the Association of Partner’s of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS), the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP) and am levels 1-4 trained in Emotional Transformation Therapy. ETT is an attachment-based model that is a leading modality for rapid trauma integration.
Through my practice, I have learned to appreciate how one individual’s challenges can impact family dynamics and relationships. This experience with family healing allows me to examine the familial perspective and guide towards healing as a family unit. Reach out and get started on your path toward healing today!
