I think we are all wired for and worthy of love and connection. Whether that is connection to ourselves or to others, I believe the desire to belong lives inside each of us.

As a therapist, I consider it a great privilege to be invited into your world and to get to partner with you as we collaboratively work through some of the things that might be keeping you stuck.

YOU ARE NOT CRAZY. Although your story is unique, research has proven that Partners/Spouses of Infidelity or Compulsive Sexual Behaviors experience broken trust and you're likely experiencing symptoms of PTSD (intrusive thoughts, avoidance of people/places, mood dysregulation, etc). Combined with the discovery or disclosure of the betrayal, the associated behaviors of gaslighting (lies & blame) will lead to feelings of incongruence within your body and mind which can make you feel like you are going crazy. You are not alone, and you are not crazy. There is hope. Hope for healing, restoration, empowerment, and non-victim living.
