Infidelity Therapists in Indianapolis, IN

Trained as a marriage and couples therapist working specifically with couples using the Gottman Method and other evidence-based models. I help couples build connection and intimacy and equip couples with communication and conflict management skills, help couples create shared meaning, and connect positively and emotionally. I help couples work through betrayal and infidelity issues. I work with men with pornography and sexual addiction and help rebuild broken trust in relationships. I am currently competing certification with the Gottman Method. I also have a health coach and personal training certification useful in holistic health

Opting for therapy is not easy. The thought may even be scary. Well, that's normal. Who wants to open their private pains to someone they've just met? But when life hurts, when you've tried your best to fix things and it just isn't working, you might consider doing something different. Life's too short to merely abide in distress.

LIFE CAN CHANGE IN AN INSTANT! Death, Trauma, Infidelity , Betrayal , Sudden Loss or Death by Suicide can destroy your sense of safety and ability to cope. Has Sexual Addiction/Pornography use impacted your life or your relationship with your partner ? Are you an adult child of an alcoholic (ACOA) or drug addict? Have you experienced childhood trauma, abuse or neglect? Do you need to heal a past of abuse or violence? Are you feeling shattered, overwhelmed disconnected and confused? Are you feeling physically and emotionally exhausted? I have 20 years of experience helping individuals and families to heal, forgive and find hope.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing a broad range of emotional and behavioral issues. I am passionate about working with clients through all the challenges and problems that arise during their lifetime. I am also a sex therapist, and I enjoy working with clients who need healing or work with kink, eroticism, intimacy, problem sexual behavior, ethical non-monogamy, recovering from affairs , low libido, and orgasm difficulties.

My experience and passion have been focused on helping couples and individuals work through a relationship crisis, including infidelity issues. By helping clients gain greater insight into the causes of their problem and clarity regarding a healthy & satisfying relationship, they are able to experience real change rather than just temporary relief from symptoms.

Perhaps you're more worried than you'd like to admit. Or life just feels flat and empty, and your mood seldom gets better. Are you losing your temper more than you should? Maybe your closest relationship is getting really uncomfortable (to put it mildly). We can work together to help you become more at peace with yourself, while living a life of values that matter to you. (Not to mention allowing more joy and meaning into your life!)

**I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME** I believe it takes a special kind of strength to ask for help, and as a therapist, my job is to make the process as smooth as possible. I feel confident in my ability to create a safe and welcoming environment conducive to change that will make therapy efficient and effective. I have been working in the mental health field for over ten years, and utilize a kind, strengths-based approach with my clients. I feel passionate about my work, and that passion translates into genuine connection with my clients.

I have a passion to journey with couples who seek to restore love and trust in their life and in their relationship(s). When we experience violations to our sense of identity and safety we experience real pain and confusion. It is possible for all of us to find peace and be grounded in the truth of who we are, and discover new ways to act within our daily life and decision making. I especially have an interest in journeying with couples struggling with communication (i.e. decision making), passion and attachment, intimacy, life transitions, and conflict (i.e. anger, shame, control, infidelity , addiction, trauma).

We all feel a little lost at times. This can have a negative impact on our relationships & individual lives. The ability to reflect and be comfortable in sharing the most intimate details about your life is not an easy task. My goal is to create a safe space for clients to share their stories and work on how to manage them moving forward by using a conversational partnership. What if you were given the opportunity to make positive changes in your life or relationship before it became a crisis? Having tools to draw upon during challenging times can make a difference in how we navigate the anxiety and stress in our lives.

I believe the process of therapy will help you clarify your feelings, understand yourself and others, explore options, and make changes in your life. My orientation as a therapist is both psychodynamic and interactive--gaining an understanding of your past to enhance your future. I consider self-knowledge and self-acceptance the best ways to overcome challenges encountered throughout life. Therapy should be tailored to a client's needs as no two people are alike, therefore I employ a variety of theories, techniques, and practices which customize treatment to the uniqueness of each individual.

Relationships are the bedrock of who we are. We are social beings and many of us spend most, if not all of our lives trying to understand ourselves and others within the context of relationships. In relationships we love, we trust, we heal, but we can also hurt. It is in the brokenness of past or current relationships where we have an opportunity to become a healthier version of ourselves with guidance. I am a Christian mental health care therapist that would like to serve and provide that guidance to a healthier/healed version of you. I specialize in relationships, marriages, and in betrayal trauma.

I often hear people ask, "why did I wait so long to seek counseling?" Although making the decision to begin counseling FEELS intimidating, the truth is that it can be a very helpful step in managing some of the difficulties of life. Are you experiencing thoughts, emotions or behaviors that are impacting your daily life or affecting your relationships with others? I can help you work through these challenges and I am available to listen, support and guide you in developing a plan to move forward.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Bible and Religion from Anderson University. I completed my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Indiana Wesleyan University. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. Additionally, I have post-graduate training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have worked in residential facilities for at-risk youth, schools, prisons, churches and private practices.

I am a social worker who specializes in couples and sexual-related issues. I do a lot of work with couples around infidelity , trust and sexual issues. I spend much time helping couples overcome the aftermath of affairs and help lead them to a better relationship than they previously had. I also work with individuals with problems like depression, anxiety and loss. I do my sessions exclusively by video and phone and have done teletherapy for about five years. My style is very casual and thoughtful. And I have become very adept at doing teletherapy. I find that most of my clients prefer this format.

Have you been struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, intimacy issues, or problems that don't go away? Collaborating with a therapist who can provide insight, guidance, and tools to uncover and develop your strengths can be the transformative factor you need. You deserve to live a happier, more satisfying life but unless you take the first step to solve your problems, they will never go away. If you are an individual, couple, or pod desiring to open your relationship or there is a need to address challenges encountered in a consensual non-monogamous relationship, I have the experience to help you navigate both.

Clients who see me often have co-occurring disorders such as anxiety and addiction(s). Some are first-responders while others are leaders within prominent companies. I've seen all walks of life over the last 15 years, so I'm rarely surprised by stories I've heard. Bring it on! Please talk about everything & anything, particularly topics that other counselors don't understand or won't hear: negotiating consensual non-monogamy, sex ruts, low desire, porn problems, and sex after infidelity , Total confidentiality! It's time to overcome the obstacles keeping you from being the very best version of yourself possible.

I'm excited to work with individuals and couples who are interested in discovering more about themselves and their relationships. These discoveries can be used to bring positive changes in the lives of adults, adolescents, and children who are finding new ways to manage today's issues and build strategies for a healthy future.

Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disappointed in yourself and others? Are you experiencing thoughts of being unimportant, all alone, or powerless? Do you struggle with “knowing” what is true but you often do not “feel” good enough or protected? It is time to honor your story authentically but with less pain and less struggle.

Years of personal experience propelled my desire to become a marriage and family therapist, and in turn, I want to help other individuals, couples, and families navigate the obstacles that they believe are in the way of them living fulfilled successful lives, and relationships. I find that many couples articulate their goals in the manner of wanting better communication without vocalizing their own personal need within the relationship. I believe that helping clients to find their voice and realize their needs goes a long way in helping them to achieve their desires within interpersonal relationships.

I have extensive experience working with couples and individuals. I specialize in working with infidelity , communication issues, addictions including alcohol, sex, co addiction; codependency, marital separation, relationship addiction, shame, anxiety, depression, and more. I have a very honest and straight forward approach and give feedback and guidance when needed. My office is a safe place to be you and to get to know you and your spouse better. Come learn to have a happier, healthier, fuller life and relationships. I work with relationship issues, but also with parent/child relationships, work relationships, and career counseling.
