I have a lot of experience working with couples to pass through this very difficult crisis and build a stronger relationship on the other side. Often requires dealing with sexual addiction.
Affairs, whether brief or long term, can be profoundly difficult to navigate. Whether you are the one who had the affair, or the one who's partner did, there can be a roller coaster of emotions and unclarity. A steady supportive presence can help.
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.
Terri Roberton, Liz Bostwick, Jonathan Morgan, Myroslava Tyzkyj, Benjamin Rubinoff, and Barbara Brown currently work with couples. Our couple's therapists will walk with you through experiences of infidelity, in either untangling your relationship or rebuilding trust. Contact our Intake Worker to help determine who will be the best fit for you.

The ultimate betrayal. I will teach you skills to regain trust in others, accept that you are worthy of more and are not to blame for the detrimental behavior of others.
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.
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 and betrayal does not necessarily mean the end of the relationship. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and Recreation Therapist, I assist couples in dealing with the challenging and complex concerns raised by infidelity and/or betrayal including rebuilding trust, finding forgiveness and acceptance, coping with guilt/shame and sense of loss, as well as seeing the opportunity for a new chosen future together. I specialize in working with both couples and individuals seeking support for interpersonal concerns, relationship issues, and coping with difficult life transitions.
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.
