Infidelity creates intense pain and needs to be handled quickly. I offer appointments, usually within the same week, to immediately get to work. It is normal for both partners to be ambivalent about the relationship, but it is time to stop hurting each other and change to benefit both of you.
Whether you are the partner who cheated, the partner who was cheated on or the couple that is seeking help to get past the affair. I would like to assist you in learning to communicate more effectively about the infidelity, work toward forgiveness of self and partner, and learn to rebuild trust again.
Individual counseling is offered to individuals in helping them achieve control over actions through an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and decisions produce actions. We provide a safe environment where one’s private pain can be shared in confidence with a trained therapist to grow in self-awareness and self-esteem while helping a person make decisions, solve problems, and overcome past and present abuses and pains. Sometimes when negative memories prohibit an individual from enjoying a satisfying life, issues in one’s family of origin can be explored to understand the past and seek to establish a new identity.
Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection, and loneliness can lessen as self-acceptance and coping skills are encouraged and strengthened.
