Feeling anxious about your relationship? Does it feel like the two of you are living parallel lives? Are you asking: What has happened to us? We get so busy building our dreams, making sacrifices to advance our careers, balancing work & family commitments; that we grow apart. Add resentment, feelings of neglect or minimization and you feel like enemies not allies. But if you can't talk about it, without it blowing up, how do you make it better? You're committed, but life of just "co-existing" is NOT what you want. The emotional pain can make you doubt yourself, your partner, or if the relationship can survive.

In my general psychology practice since 1996, I have served individuals, couples and family members with many different challenges. I am happy to talk by phone to answer any questions you may have before making a first appointment. My style is collaborative and respectful, starting with a thorough assessment. I use a variety of approaches (e.g., Relational Life Therapy, EMDR, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic) to understand problems, solutions, and actions needed for assisting my clients. It is a privilege to be an ally for clients as they gain insights and make powerful changes.

Whether it's a relationship with self, family, intimate, business, or friend; we can work together to identify the barriers that may be prohibiting your goals. Many of us find ourselves repeating the same unhealthy relationship patterns even with our best intentions. No matter the difficulty, there's much wisdom in our experiences and feelings, it's just often misunderstood or overlooked.

So often when talking to prospective clients, they are most worried about sitting in a session with a therapist that looks like the ones they see on TV. You know, the very stereotypical therapist, in a very sterile room, in a three-piece suit, who almost strictly takes notes and is some times hard to read. Though, I strongly believe that all therapy has a place, for me, this isn’t how I practice. In therapy, I believe there is a time for silence and a time for reflection, but I also believe there is a time for humor, laughter, and connection.

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.
