Infidelity can be devastating for the spouse, the client and the family. But it doesn't have to define a person or blow up a relationship. As a matter of fact I have worked with hundreds of couples that actually have come out much better after healing from an infidelity. Because it brings to life problems that were never unearthed, or never discussed.
I help clients process experiences of infidelity and trust violations within their relationships and work towards a place of healing. Whether in individual or couples therapy, I will meet you and you situation where you are at and offer support as you navigate your next steps in what this means for your relationships.
Sadly, there are different types of infidelity. I work with the partners impacted by their loved one's affair, chronic and repetitive cheating, sex addiction, sexually problematic and/or compulsive behaviors. I help you with what you need: handling grief or creating ways to feel emotionally more safe or just processing so you don't feel like you are crazy.
At our practice, we understand the profound impact that infidelity can have on individuals and couples. We believe that it is possible to heal and rebuild trust after an affair, and our therapists are committed to providing compassionate, non-judgmental support to help clients navigate this difficult process. Our approach to treating infidelity involves creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their feelings and work through the emotional pain that often accompanies betrayal. Through evidence-based approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, we help clients gain insight into the underlying issues that contributed to the infidelity and develop strategies to rebuild trust, communication, and intimacy. Our goal is to help clients move forward with renewed strength and resilience, and to create a stronger, healthier, and more fulfilling relationship.
Infidelity can happen to anyone and feels utterly devastating and can make us feel empty, anxious, worthless, confused and broken. Whether it can be reconciled with your partner or not, it's so important to unpack the pain to recreate trust that is broken through betrayal. It can feel like a tremendous amount of work, but you are more than worth it!
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.
