Your relationship feels stuck after infidelity, sexual deception, or betrayal trauma, and you’re unsure what to do next, or whether healing is even possible. You may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or questioning your own reality, but you’re in the right place. I help couples at a crossroads make sense of betrayal, restore clarity and safety, and move forward with confidence; whether that means rebuilding trust through accountability and truth, or gaining support to make clear, self-honoring decisions about what comes next.
I specialize in working with couples impacted by sexual deception, betrayal trauma, and relational rupture. Using trauma-informed, proven models, I help partners restore clarity, emotional safety, and accountability so they can move forward, together or apart, with integrity, honesty, and care. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
I know how hopeless and confusing this moment can feel. You don’t have to figure it out alone. My role is to help you reconnect with your clarity, strength, and sense of self so you can move forward with honesty and intention. If things feel stuck or overwhelming, reach out, - I’m here.

My approach is direct, respectful, and trauma-informed. Early work focuses on stabilizing the relationship, clarifying what occurred, and restoring emotional safety through transparency and accountability.

I enjoy working with clients who are healing from infidelity, betrayal trauma and sexual deception. I utilize the Deceptive Sexuality & Trauma Therapy model (DSTT) as well as the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), a somatically oriented approach for working with c-ptsd. At times I may weave in Brainspotting when appropriate to work with shock and complex trauma.
