Infidelity can come with a whirlwind of emotions and it can feel like there is no way to regain the trust that was lost. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to explore what has happened and how it has affected you.

Infidelity indicates a complex interplay of emotional wounds and relational dynamics. Since adultery is woven into the fabric of attachment ties, it can evoke strong emotions of betrayal, abandonment, and insecurity that relive the wounds from previous relationship breakups. Like a shattered mirror, the discovery of betrayal fractures the foundation of trust, plunging individuals into a whirlwind of emotional turmoil. Therapy becomes a refuge amidst the storm, offering a space to navigate the labyrinth of emotions and process the echoes of past traumas. By fostering open communication, rebuilding trust, and addressing underlying attachment wounds, individuals and couples can embark on a journey of healing and reconciliation, forging a path towards greater understanding, resilience, and intimacy.
Dealing with infidelity can turn into a blaming game in which both sides accuse each other of provoking the situation. However, infidelity is usually a reaction rather than an action and happens as a result of a malfunction in the relationship. Therapy helps the client to understand the underlying motives and reasons for the infidelity and creates a supportive context in which they can learn and grow.

My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy.

I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.
There are many reasons why people cheat. The biggest question is often "do I stay or go?" Infidelity has many boundary violations creating a severe breech in trust. Working with the client to allow them to find their answers on what to do next.
The profound pain and the rupture that infidelity creates is often insurmountable for a couple. But I believe it does not have to be the end of the relationship. There is hope where there is honest communication, repentance and forgiveness as well as new patterns that build bridges versus continuing the destruction of the bridges. I have seen couples completely change and heal upon doing the work to repair the broken trust and bridge.
