Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.S.W., L.C.S.W., NASW Diplomate
In private practice for 32 years. I am interested in assisting you with your emotional growth and well-being. It's normal at times in life to have conflicts, but sometimes we need guidance to discover healthier ways to navigate through these challenges to have a more healthy and rewarding life!
Infidelity can be incredibly difficult. Often times the spouse that was cheated on is dealing with issues of trust, fear, confusion, self doubt, and depression. The spouse who cheated is often dealing with shame and confusion. I work with couples to heal from infidelity and improve their marriage moving forward
In my work with couples, I don't believe infidelity is the final straw to end the relationship. The challenges that are presented with this issue are great, but I believe we can work to truly find out what is best for the both of you when it comes to managing this.
Working through infidelity is not impossible. Through hard work on both ends and full communication and working on the reasons why there was infidelity to start with, it can be worked on if that is what the couple so chooses to do. Or maybe you are an individual who has been through this topic and want to have some guidance on where to go next. That is also possible in sessions with me.
Infidelity is intense but manageable without further traumatizing each partner. Work with me in safely identifying the processing stage you are with your partner and tips soon how to plan for and maneuver the triggers and hot spots using my 3-step approach. Our goal is to deepen couple love and understanding.
Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential, and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Our practice style is goal oriented using numerous approaches.
Coming to grips with hurting or being hurt in this manner is more than just some words and hope/expectation that our partner will just move on. It takes ownership and understanding of why we act out the way we do

Infidelity is a frequent topic in my clinical work. Often couples will come to me following an affair and want to work on repairing their relationship. Other times a client I am working with will either have had an affair or is having an affair and is wanting to consciously figure out what to do about it. In other cases I assist clients whose spouse did have one or more affairs or is cheating. In still other cases I work with people who have had or are having relationships with married people. My approach to these situations is to not be judgmental but rather to help the parties involved to consciously address the situation. This could involve working individually with one of the parties, or with the couple, depending on the situation. As a therapist I am comfortable with working in either capacity. People in this situation find that I am supportive, non judgmental, and able to appreciate the position of each party.
I am a psychologist, marriage family therapist, bioenergetic analyst, and psychoanalyst with more than 30 years of clinical experience in treating adolescents, adults, and marital couples. I am skilled in helping a person to feel understood and related to in a new and helpful way.
Infidelity can turn a relationship upside down but therapy can help to have that turn create a space for repair and health in your relationship. Our providers are specifically skilled in supporting you and your relationship through this time.
