When addiction is a part of your relationship, it’s crucial to work with a therapist who understands the complexities involved. A couples therapist with expertise in addiction can help you and your partner address not only the addiction itself but also the relational dynamics that have been impacted.
My extensive training in the PACT model of couples therapy combined with over two decades of experience as a couples therapist gives me the skills necessary to help you explore the dynamics of your relationship and help you achieve your relationship goals.
Infidelity doesn’t just break trust; it often uncovers deeper issues that may have been simmering beneath the surface of your relationship. These can include unmet emotional needs, unresolved conflicts, or attachment insecurities that, if left unaddressed, can continue to damage the relationship even after the affair has ended.
Have you experienced a betrayal and you want to heal from it? Are you tired of having the same argument over and over and want to create a solution? Are you worried that you and your partner aren’t on the same page anymore and want to reconnect? PACT couples therapy is designed to help people who are facing the toughest problems. You can improve your situation with a little support and guidance.
Some of the things we address in PACT couples therapy includes: Infidelity, betrayals, allegiances, addictions, sex, finances, feelings of neglect, devision of labor, blended and extended families, sharing power, divorce, mental illness, pre-marital, intimacy and more.
PACT uses the latest research in attachment, emotion regulation. and neurobiology to help you create the relationship you want. You will develop skills you need to improve your situation and you will develop a deeper understanding of your partner and yourself. If you’re tired of trying to fix it on your own, I.m here to help.
Sex therapy addresses sexual concerns that may be affecting your relationship. Whether you’re experiencing intimacy challenges, sexual dysfunction, or simply looking to enhance your sexual connection, professional guidance can help you explore and resolve these sensitive areas. Sex Therapy does NOT include sexual touch or activities.
Sex therapy can help you address a history of sexual trauma, low libido, sexual desire discrepancies, out of control sexual behaviors, shame around sex and religion, painful sex, sexual dysfunction, gender identity concerns, LGBTQIA+ concerns, difficulty with organism, difficulty with achieving or maintaining an erection, premature or delayed ejaculation, consensual non-monogomy, kink and BDSM.
Sex, intimacy and physical connection are such important and difficult to talk about aspects of a committed relationship or as an individual and deserve to be addressed with dignity and professionalism.
you’re struggling with the effects of trauma or distressing thoughts, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) could offer the support you need. CPT is a structured therapy designed to help you understand and manage the impact of traumatic experiences by addressing and reframing unhelpful thoughts and beliefs.
This evidence-based approach focuses on helping you make sense of your past experiences and their influence on your current emotions and behaviors. By working through these issues with a trained therapist, you’ll learn practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and nightmares, and regain a sense of control over your life.
CPT not only helps with immediate symptom relief but also fosters long-term recovery and personal growth. It’s a proven method that can improve emotional regulation, enhance relationships, and support overall well-being. If you’re ready to move forward and build a more fulfilling life, CPT might be the right path for you.

Sometimes we just feel it in our bodies and we can’t put it to words. Or we might have some of the story, but the rest just won’t come out of our mouths. We can have a somatic response to an event or a thought but talking about it feels incomplete or impossible. If this sounds like you, you may find Braimspotting to be helpful.
Brainspotting, or BSP, developed out of EMDR and is based on a lot of the same theories. Traumas get “stuck” on one side of the brain and you may have a hard time metabolizing it thourouly. Your rep feelings may lead to unexplained panic, anxiety or disassociation. BSP helps by identifying your body’s response and helping use eye position and bi-lateral music to encourage your body and both sides of your brain to work together to process your emotions and thoughts. You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to and you can still feel relief.
Brainspotting can be used fir feelings of anxiety and overwhelm, past and current traumas, gaining better insight about current situations, and emotions, struggles with strained relationships, difficulty living up to other people’s demands or balancing the demands of life, if your afraid that you’re too much or if you’re sensitive and feel things deeply. You. don’t have to be alone with this, I can help you.
