"Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us."

Betrayal trauma is a profound and often devastating emotional response that occurs when someone we trust deeply violates that trust. The impact of betrayal trauma can be intense and far-reaching, affecting various aspects of a person's life and wellbeing. Trust issues, self-doubt and self-blame, diminished self-esteem and loss of confidence are experienced. The emotional fallout from betrayal can lead to heightened anxiety and/or persistent sadness. As a betrayal trauma expert, I can help you navigate the complexities of the aftermath of infidelity and work towards a brighter, more resilient future.

"The purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness."

- Neale Donald Walsch

Couples wanting to heal from betrayal face a long journey. Many couples feel they are continually running in circles as patterns of connection then disconnection, anger, pain and triggers keep them spinning their wheels and never experiencing the lasting healing and growth they long for. Using the Gottman Method (the most evidence based and trusted approach for couples counseling) I can help you and you partner learn to restore trust and safety and be stronger than ever before.
