I support couples in overcoming the pain and trauma of infidelity and creating a stronger, more fulfilling relationship. In our work together, I help you understand the underlying issues that led to the infidelity, and guide you towards rebuilding trust and intimacy.
I work with couples recovering from infidelity when both partners want to work through the rupture in their relationship and remain together. This always involved each partner thinking about and listing their wants and needs. Because to move forward after infidelity both partner's wants and needs have probably changed. Once the partners know what they each want and need we work on if or how each partner can meet the other partner's needs and wants. This therapeutic work allows clients to see not just who their partner is now but who their partner wants to be in their relationship.
Infidelity can be crushing to one's self-esteem, but it doesn't have to be. Once we realize that we cannot control other people nor should we want to, we can focus on building ourselves up again in healthy ways. There's much to be learned from painful situations. Pain, though uncomfortable, is a pathway to growth.
Infidelity can shatter trust and leave deep emotional wounds. Whether you've been betrayed or have betrayed your partner, psychotherapy offers a safe space to process the complex emotions, rebuild trust, and explore the underlying issues that contributed to the infidelity. Therapy can help couples decide whether to heal their relationship or move forward separately, and support individuals in finding self-compassion and making healthy choices for their future.

Counseling after infidelity provides essential support for healing and rebuilding trust in the relationship. By creating a safe environment for open dialogue, validating emotions, teaching effective communication strategies, and fostering individual growth, therapists can guide couples toward either reconciliation or the decision to part ways in a healthy manner.
Our therapists view the pain of infidelity as a traumatic experience, and work with partners of infidelity with this focus in mind using TF-CBT. We help create a safe space to process the pain and help promote health and growth.
Infidelity can seem impossible to overcome in a relationship. The betrayal and loss of trust can feel like too much. But there is hope! You don't have to do this alone. I will walk alongside you to restore trust and deepen connection, while addressing the hurt and pain that was caused by the infidelity. I'd love to help you rebuild your relationship to be stronger and closer than it was before.
I have worked with many couples where this has been an issue. The first thing that must be handled, if the partner who was cheated on wants the relationship to continue, is to determine if there is real commitment on both sides, and if both are willing and able to have real, meaningful discussions about what was not working for each of them prior to the affair.
Infidelity can feel like the ultimate betrayal. Can you really trust your partner again? Should you trust your partner again? I help clients individually and/or with their partners navigate through this painful experience. I show clients how to rebuild their relationship and move forward. Rupture is painful but an opportunity for growth and repair.
