I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood, supported, and comfortable enough to be honest about the things that are difficult to say out loud. My style is warm and compassionate, but I’m also active and engaged in the process. I won’t simply sit back and listen—we’ll work together to understand what’s happening, identify what is keeping you stuck, and find a path forward.
I understand how disorienting betrayal, infidelity, and trauma can be, particularly when you no longer trust your own instincts or know what comes next. You don’t need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. We can start exactly where you are and work toward greater clarity, stability, and trust in yourself.

Treatment Approach
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.

A significant part of my practice is devoted to betrayal trauma and affair recovery. I work with women who have discovered infidelity, pornography use, sexual betrayal, or problematic sexual behavior in their relationships, as well as individuals who are working through the impact of trauma. I also work with individuals who have had an affair and want to better understand what happened, take responsibility, and make meaningful changes.
I have extensive experience using EMDR and trauma-focused therapy and also offer EMDR intensives for clients who may benefit from more focused, extended sessions. Therapy is individualized rather than one-size-fits-all, with an emphasis on understanding both the emotional and nervous-system impact of difficult experiences.
