Infidelity is extremely difficult for most couples to heal from. The infidelity may be emotional, sexual, or both. Many couples come to see me because they find themselves stuck in the same conversations and unable to move forward. I help couples with infidelity by educating them, exploring patterns, and processing feelings.

Couples often find it difficult communicating about an infidelity because they aren’t sure what are fair boundaries and rules of communication when one has betrayed the other so terrifically. I assist couples by using my education, training and experience to find new boundaries and styles of communicating with rules and boundaries.

Infidelity usually occurs when there are also problems with self-esteem, addiction(s), and/or deficits in the relationship. Discovering infidelity usually triggers depression and anxiety for both the victim and the perpetrator of the infidelity.

Recovering from infidelity may be difficult, but it is absolutely possible. It takes time and commitment. Often couples recover and find a new level of intimacy they have never experienced before. Individual therapy and couples therapy are usually the preferred treatment modalities; however, I always do a thorough assessment (usually 1-3 sessions) before providing treatment.
