Infidelity & Betrayal Trauma Therapy

A place to feel the hurt, hear your voice, and find your way forward

Relationships can be beautiful, complicated, and at times deeply painful. Trust can be broken, connection fractured, and the sense of safety you relied on suddenly gone or uncertain, leaving you feeling alone. This can shake you to your core. You are not alone in this. You deserve a warm, steady place to make sense of it all and gain clarity about where to go from here.

You might be…

  • Reeling after discovering an affair, deception, or a hidden addiction
  • Replaying what happened, struggling to sleep, or feeling constantly on alert
  • Carrying the secret of an affair, or feeling torn between two relationships
  • Wrestling with guilt or shame, or confused about how you got here
  • Unsure what comes next, or how to even begin making sense of it all
  • Noticing old family patterns showing up in your relationships now
  • Feeling like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way

Infidelity and betrayal trauma can stir up a range of emotions, including shock, grief, anger, guilt, anxiety, low mood, and confusion. This is a place where you don’t need to put on a brave face. You’ll have space to release what you’ve been holding and move toward what’s next at your own pace.

How we’ll work together

Discovering that someone you love has been unfaithful can affect your mind and body much like other kinds of trauma: racing thoughts, trouble sleeping, feeling on edge, or not trusting your own judgment. This is often called betrayal trauma, and it’s a natural response to a deep breach of trust. Learn more about betrayal trauma.

If you’ve been cheated on, we’ll steady your nervous system, make sense of the shock, and reconnect you with your own voice and judgment. As a trauma-informed therapist trained in EMDR and TF-CBT, I’ll walk alongside you as we work together to heal from betrayal trauma at a pace that feels safe.

If you’re the one who has stepped outside your relationship, we’ll explore this with curiosity and care: what you’ve been longing for, what you’re carrying, and where you go from here, in a way that honors you, the choices you have, and the ones you love.

Together, we’ll help you find your footing again, rebuilding a sense of safety and trust in yourself and in others, so you can move forward with more clarity.

There’s no rush here. If older wounds or family patterns are part of the picture, we can gently explore those too.

Sessions are virtual, for women in California, including Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego.
