As a Relationship Therapist I help Individuals, and couples, and families overcome tough issues and discover deeper more fulfilling relationships. I specialize in Infidelity Recovery. Discovering that you have been cheated on and lied to is a painful and traumatic experience that can cause many feelings such as despair, anger, sadness, rage, fear and loss.

However, there is hope; getting over the betrayal, takes a skilled experienced therapist. I respond 12/7 for urgent matters.

“The quality of your life ultimately depends on the quality of your relationships.” -Esther Perel. I note that the quality of our relationships impacts how we feel seen, heard, grounded, and safe in this world. I primarily work with clients who have been impacted by affairs/infidelity to understand their emotional world, their sense of safety, and how to trust, again. I help clients understand what path led them here with unconditional compassion, how they can return to a sense of safety, how they can heal any betrayal trauma and move forward from such a taboo impasse.

Choosing to see a therapist is about you wanting to make some changes in yourself or in your life.

There are many reasons to feel overwhelmed by emotional pain and distress. You may be overwhelmed with ongoing conflict in relationships, intimacy issues, feeling unloved and misunderstood, career or children, your marriage, infidelity, addiction or just feeling hopeless.

This is your opportunity to reach out and find a safe space to talk and be heard. Together we will navigate coping skills and new ways of moving forward.

I specialize in working with people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or distressed in career, life situation, or around their relationships, whether with a significant other, family, friends, or social situations. Often this involves working with challenging relationship dynamics, insecurities, sense of self, sense of purpose, or past trauma.

I work with individuals and couples struggling with unhealthy recurrent patterns within themselves and in relationships. I believe therapy can be a powerful opportunity for people to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and make meaning of their past experiences. Being stuck with deep seated patterns often continue to cause us pain and suffering and my hope is to be able to create a safe warm environment for people to explore what aspects of their past may be getting in the way of their present and future. I work in a collaborative fashion, hoping to help people find their truth.
