About

If you're here, chances are something has shattered your sense of safety — whether it's discovering a partner's infidelity or compulsive sexual behavior, or wrestling with your own struggle with sex addiction. Wherever you're starting from, I want you to know: you don't have to have it figured out before you reach out.

I specialize in betrayal trauma and sex addiction recovery, working with both individuals and couples. I hold certifications as a Certified Clinical Partner Specialist (CCPS) through APSATS, and I'm currently completing my Certified Sex Addiction Specialist (C-SASI) certification. I've also pursued additional training in Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Brainspotting.

In our work together, you are the expert on your own life — I'm not here to hand you a script for what healing should look like. I'm here to walk alongside you as you process pain, betrayal, and grief at your own pace, and to help you reconnect with your own feelings and needs, which betrayal trauma so often disrupts or silences. From that clearer, more grounded place, you're able to make your own decisions — about your relationship, your recovery, your future — that actually fit your life, not someone else's timeline or expectations.

For couples, that might mean rebuilding trust and safety, developing honest communication, and deciding together what the relationship is becoming. For individuals, it might mean processing trauma, addressing addictive patterns, or simply learning to trust yourself again.

Whatever brought you here, you'll find a space that's empathetic, steady, and genuinely on your side — where the hard stuff gets room to be hard, and hope gets room to grow too.
