When you’re in pain, the world stops and I listen- Dr. John Gottman

Rebuilding Trust. Restoring Connection. Growing Stronger Together.
We all long for love that feels safe, supportive, and enduring. But even the strongest relationships can struggle—especially in the face of infidelity, addiction, trauma, or the everyday overwhelm of parenting and busy lives. If you’re feeling stuck, distant, or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone.

The truth is: most couples were never taught how to solve problems together. That’s not a failure—it’s a skill gap. And skills can be learned.

I use the Gottman Method, a research-based approach to couples therapy that provides practical tools for improving communication, resolving conflict, and rebuilding emotional closeness. Through our work together, I’ll guide you step-by-step in learning these tools, practicing them in session, and applying them at home.

As a participant in the Certified Gottman Therapist program, with Level 3 training and advanced specialization in supporting couples through affairs, trauma, and addiction, I bring both depth and structure to our sessions. I’m also certified to lead The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work workshops, which means I teach in a way that’s engaging, down-to-earth, and actionable.

Couples therapy isn’t just talking—it’s learning. I’ll help you strengthen your relationship by teaching skills you can use right away, and I’ll offer thoughtful homework to keep the momentum going between sessions. Whether you’re rebuilding after a rupture or simply ready for a stronger foundation, we’ll do the work—together.

If you’re ready to learn new skills, rebuild connection, and grow together—I’m here to guide you. Let’s begin the work of creating a relationship that feels safe, strong, and deeply connected.

Healing After Betrayal

Infidelity can leave even the strongest people reeling—questioning what’s real, what went wrong, and whether healing is even possible. Whether you’re facing this pain together or on your own, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

At Embrace Relationship Counseling, I use Systemic Affair Recovery Therapy (SART) to guide clients through the seven milestones of affair recovery—a structured, research-informed process that fosters understanding, repair, and growth.

For Couples:
Healing together means taking the time to fully explore what happened and why. We’ll move step-by-step through each milestone, helping you:

• Understand how infidelity became part of your relationship
• Acknowledge the impact—emotionally, mentally, and physically
• Avoid the common mistake of rushing forgiveness or “moving on” too quickly
• Create space for rebuilding trust, safety, and emotional connection
• Explore the possibility of a relationship that’s stronger and more intentional than before

For Individuals:
If you’re healing on your own—whether you’re the partner who experienced betrayal or the one who acted outside the relationship—you deserve support, too. In our work, we’ll:

• Make sense of your emotional responses and internal conflict
• Process your experience without judgment
• Clarify what healing looks like for you personally
• Explore what you need in future relationships—or in rebuilding the current one
• Empower you to move forward with self-awareness and clarity

Affair recovery takes courage. It takes time. But with the right support, it’s possible to come out the other side with greater understanding, deeper self-trust, and a clearer path ahead.

If you’re ready to begin this healing journey, I invite you to reach out.
Let’s take the first step—together.
