Infidelity & betrayal therapy · Virginia, Maryland & Florida

Betrayal is one of the most disorienting
experiences there is.

Whether you discovered an affair, experienced emotional infidelity, or are the partner who violated the trust — the ground has shifted under everything you thought you knew about your relationship and yourself. Nothing in your life prepared you for how this actually feels.

Betrayal in a relationship does not just damage trust. It can destabilize your sense of reality, your self-worth, and your ability to make decisions about your own life. You may be oscillating between rage and grief, between wanting to leave and wanting to fix it, between feeling certain and feeling like you have no idea what is real.

"There is no right answer about what to do next. There is only what is true for you -- and clarity takes time to find. Therapy creates the space to find it."

I work with individuals and couples navigating infidelity at every stage -- from the immediate aftermath of discovery through the longer process of deciding whether and how to rebuild. I use the Gottman Method alongside CBT and trauma-informed approaches to help you process what happened and move forward with clarity.

Who I work with

Betrayal affects everyone
in the relationship differently.

01

The betrayed partner

You are dealing with shock, grief, rage, and a profound loss of trust -- often while still having to function at work and at home. You deserve support that takes the full weight of this seriously.

02

The partner who was unfaithful

Understanding what drove the behavior, taking accountability, and deciding what you actually want from your relationship requires honest, non-judgmental support. I work with both sides.

03

Couples trying to rebuild

Some couples want to try. Rebuilding trust after infidelity is possible, but it requires a structured process -- not just time. The Gottman Method provides that structure.

04

Someone deciding whether to stay

You are not sure what you want. Therapy creates space to understand what you actually need -- without pressure to make the decision before you are ready.

05

After the relationship ends

Leaving does not end the grief. Processing betrayal after a relationship ends is real work, and it matters for your future -- not just for this relationship.

06

Emotional infidelity

Betrayal does not require physical intimacy to do real damage. Emotional affairs, hidden relationships, and chronic dishonesty carry their own weight and deserve real support.

How therapy helps

Clarity, not pressure, about
what comes next.

I use the Gottman Method alongside CBT and trauma-informed care. For couples trying to rebuild, the Gottman approach provides a research-based framework for processing betrayal, rebuilding trust, and creating a relationship with honest foundations. For individuals, I focus on helping you make sense of what happened, manage the acute emotional impact, and find clarity about what you actually want.

What can change through betrayal and infidelity therapy?

Therapy is more than having a place to talk. Together, we identify what matters most to you and practice skills you can use in everyday life.

Find steadier ground

Learn to manage intrusive thoughts, intense emotions, and the uncertainty that often follows betrayal.

Communicate needs and boundaries

Develop clearer conversations about accountability, trust, and what you need to feel emotionally safe.

Make decisions without pressure

Explore whether to repair, redefine, or leave a relationship with greater clarity and self-trust.

How we work: We collaborate on goals, check regularly on what is and is not helping, and adjust our approach as your needs change. Progress might mean recovering more quickly from setbacks, communicating more clearly, or feeling more confident in difficult moments.

These are possible benefits of therapy, not promises of particular results. Your experience and goals are individual.
