Infidelity can feel like the ultimate betrayal. There is a lot of anger, confusion, sadness and grief to process. Some people whose partners cheated often find themselves questioning what they could have done differently or replaying various scenarios to understand how this happened.
Those who cheated might struggle to forgive themselves or take responsibility for their actions.
When news of infidelity comes out, one or more partners may feel confused and uncertain of how to proceed - is this something that we can process and use to strengthen our relationship, or is this where we part ways.
Our team of highly trained clinicians can support individuals and couples experiencing this common relationship problem - using evidence-based approaches we can help you process your emotions, encourage and mediate difficult conversations, and help you come to a decision that is most suitable to you both.
I have worked with clietns on both ends of the spectrum: Those who have committed infidelity and those who have been cheated on in the past. I welcome all to my practice and work through the pain that both of these situations can entail. I also work with clients to rebuild relationships and reestablish trust.
I use an integrated, narrational, client-centered and emotion-focused approach to help clients transition through relationship transitions such as infidelity.

Infidelity is one of the most painful experiences we can face. Betrayal and loss of trust are devastating, as well as overpowering loss, anger and fear. I am here to help you to process the pain you are feeling, and the very difficult emotions, so you can finally find some clarity, acceptance, strength in yourself, and peace.
Infidelity is laden with complexity and its impacts can be uniquely felt by individuals and relationships. Navigating the aftermath of infidelity is challenging and there can be a lot of felt shame to reach out for support. Within therapy, my aim is to create a safe and open space for you so that together, we can process, make sense of your experience(s), and develop a better understanding of what you may need in order to move forward as an individual and/or relationship. I believe that healing after infidelity is possible and I welcome the opportunity to support you in your path to healing. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.
Every relationship is unique and the process of recovering from infidelity also varies. Whether you are an individual seeking support as you process and work through the experience of betrayal or a couple looking for a framework to address the impacts of and underlying issues relating to infidelity - I may be able to help facilitate a space for healing.
Infidelity is a more common experience than is ever discussed, and the reasons a person might choose that path are many and varied. We can talk about those reasons, and the drives behind those reasons, without shame or blame, and discover what might be hiding behind a desire to engage in infidelity, as well as discuss what options might exist.
Through years of extensive training and experience I have built a proven track record in supporting clients -- whether as individuals or couples in overcoming a variety of mental health concerns and relationship challenges with sustainable results. The primary methods I use are Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman method. These two approaches to couples therapy aim to teach couples healthy and effective ways of communicating, while increasing mutual respect, understanding and empathy, emotional intimacy, and affection. These highly effective approaches are well suited to couples at all stages of their relationship -- helping them overcome frequent conflict, infidelity, and other destructive patterns. They may also be used to educate and strengthen couples who are in the early stages of their relationship and are committed to its long term success.
I support individuals who have experienced infidelity in their relationship process their thoughts, feelings, wants, and needs related to what occurred. Reflecting individually can support us to develop awareness and determine how we would like to move forward after infidelity. For those choosing to remain in their relationship, I provide evidence-based tools to support people in re-establishing trust, improving communication, re-connecting sexually, and navigating new feelings and needs.
