Infidelity can really hurt people who are already dealing with addictions, relationship troubles, or feeling down. For example, finding out your partner cheated can make you feel even worse about yourself and really upset, which can make depression symptoms worse. As a therapist who focuses on these issues, I would create a safe space for people to talk about how they feel. I'd help them work through the complicated emotions that come with infidelity and figure out how to rebuild trust and move forward. This might mean setting boundaries in the relationship, talking about what led to the cheating, and finding healthy ways to deal with the hurt. I'd also help them think about what they want for the future and how to make choices that are good for them.
Infidelity is when someone in a committed relationship cheats by being romantically or sexually involved with someone else. As a therapist specializing in Emotional Disturbance, Trauma/PTSD, and Relationship Issues, I'd provide a safe space to talk about the emotions and reasons behind the infidelity. We'd work on understanding and addressing underlying issues, rebuilding trust, and developing healthier communication and coping skills for the future.
When trust is shattered, it can feel like the foundation of your relationship is crumbling beneath you. While healing from infidelity may seem daunting, it's possible to emerge stronger and more connected than ever before. With my help, you'll be able to rebuild trust, deepen understanding, and cultivate forgiveness.

In supporting individuals dealing with infidelity in their relationship or marriage, I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space for them to process their emotions and navigate the complexities of their situation. Through therapy, we explore the underlying factors contributing to the infidelity, such as communication issues, unmet needs, or underlying relationship problems. I offer strategies to cope with intense emotions such as anger, betrayal, or grief, and facilitate open and honest communication between partners. Additionally, we work on rebuilding trust, setting boundaries, and exploring the possibility of forgiveness and reconciliation if desired. My goal is to support individuals in making informed decisions about their relationship and ultimately finding healing and resolution, whether that involves rebuilding the relationship or moving forward separately.
When your relationship is in crisis because of infidelity, it is critical to work with a trained professional who can help you make decisions not just based on feelings and emotions. Getting through a partner's affair can be incredibly painful. Sometimes, it is not possible for a relationship to recover from it. But often times, with hard work and therapeutic guidance, it is possible to recover and to develop a second marriage to replace the relationship that existed before and during the affair. It is not the therapist's job to decide if you should or should not stay married. But with many years of experience, Life Transitions Counseling can help you peel off the layers of hurt, disappointment, resentment and mistrust, and make decisions about the future of your relationship and the way to best handle what comes after that decision.
Are you stressed out? And is it getting harder to "just not think about it?" I specialize in helping people work through stressful transitions and high-conflict situations. Through individual or couple's therapy, we can work together to achieve the goals you've wanted, but have felt out of reach.
