Helping you overcome infidelity & betrayal
Affair/betrayal recovery is meaningful work that I hold with high regard. It is immensely challenging to process the pain of deception. There are many layers associated with reconciliation after certain truths are revealed. My goal is to work delicately to ensure there is space to grieve what once was between the two of you, in order to create space for what now is.
6 Hour Intensives for Couples
Often, certain lifestyles do not allow the opportunity to meet on a weekly or biweekly rotation. In other circumstances standard slots just aren't enough to get to the root of certain issues due to intense conflict, emotions or other barriers.
Six-hour intensives are available once monthly and are ideal for those who need more than the traditional 50-minute meeting.
The ecosystem of love can be extremely complex. Unfortunately, it is quite easy to pollute that ecosystem with anxiety, conflict and codependence/enmeshment. My overall goal with couples is to act as a filtration system, a third party assisting to ensure both parties feel emotionally safe with one another. Emotional safety paves the way for genuine understanding, compassion and mutual respect. As I operate with concepts derived from the Bowen Family Systems theory, we will work diligently to create an atmosphere where both parties are heard, discovered and valued.
