I use these models to treat a range of issues from betrayal recovery, to finding sexual intimacy again, to trauma healing (together or individually), or deepening your relationships.
Let's give it a chance to grow. I focus on inviting folks to activate internal healing and deepen external connection. In relational work, I hold space to slow down, track and rewire dynamics, and develop self awareness. Self-regulation is our best resource for moving towards our partner and letting them in. With individual work, I welcome all parts and explore the stories our parts hold. As we bring healing care to our parts and their stories, folks start to expand an awareness of the healer that's in them. I see folks as "stuck" and not "sick," and I hold the mantra: "just as there is a healer in me, there is a healer in you."

I offer 90 minute sessions for couples dealing with conflict and infidelity.
I’ve seen many couples ranging from newly married to empty nesters, both struggling with the same thing — feeling like they are a million miles apart from the person they love. Resentment, anger, and frustration cloud your ability to see your partner clearly and remember why you chose each other in the first place! We then find ways to protect ourselves from the potential hurt or rejection from our partners. We shut down or lash out because we’ve run out of ways to say “I want to be close to you”. What else happens? Well, we end up pushing our partner away, creating even more distance and less safety. This is where I come in.

I specialize in working with men who struggle with intimacy and emotional expression, especially those who feel disconnected in their relationships or unsure how to communicate what’s happening beneath the surface.

You may want deeper connection but struggle to access or express your emotions. I also support same-sex couples and members of the LGBTQ+ community who are navigating relationship stress.

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.
