You've just found out that your husband has been using pornography, chatting with women online, or meeting women for sex behind your back, and your world has been shattered.
If you are like most women I see in my office, you’re asking: how could he do this to me? How did I not know? What do I do now?
I want you to know there is help, and there is hope.
As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), Certified Partner Betrayal Therapist, and an EMDR therapist, I work with the person with the addiction to heal the brain's neural pathways to stop the compulsive behavior. Years of watching and masturbating to pornography have created an uncontrollable urge that they cannot stop without the proper treatment. Left untreated the addictive behavior escalates and devastates their life and the lives of those they love. We work towards developing new coping skills, healthy connections, and becoming a person of truth and integrity.
I help you, the partner, heal the deep, unrelenting wounds of betrayal. I walk beside you as you regain your emotional composure, learn to set boundaries, and find new strength.
Betrayal pain is the most damaging thing that can happen in a marriage. But if you do the work, healing is possible.

The most consistent thing I hear from my clients is, "You have such a calming presence that makes me feel safe and heard, without judgment."
In addition to my expertise, my strength is the ability to meet you where you are with calmness and compassion while still challenging you to become better. I help you understand what happened to you to get you where you are.
Sex addiction and partner betrayal recovery are hard work. I hold hope for you when you feel hopeless. I can do this because I know if you do the work, you can become the healthy person you were created to be.
