Couples therapy isn’t just about solving problems—it’s about creating a safe and connected foundation where solutions can take root. When partners prioritize understanding over fixing, they not only resolve conflicts more effectively but also build trust, compassion, and resilience for the future.

Whether you’re navigating triggers in a partnership, healing from betrayal, struggling with emotional dysregulation, or simply tired of the same inner critic, EMDR can help you break free from patterns that were never yours to begin with.

Why is it so hard to heal from codependency, even when you know better?

Because codependency isn’t just a behavior pattern.
It’s a survival strategy.

It was smart when you were younger. It helped you feel safe, needed, valued—even when you weren’t being loved in the ways you deserved. But healing from it as an adult? That takes more than insight.

The truth is: sexual kinks are incredibly common. And like any other part of our sexuality, they often develop for a reason—sometimes through early associations, emotional wiring, nervous system imprinting, or even healing responses to trauma.

I guide couples through this process using a trauma-informed lens, integrating Gottman Method, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems when appropriate. This is tender, courageous work—and you don’t have to do it alone.

When people think about ADHD, they often picture a distracted student, a messy desk, or an adult who constantly loses their keys. But what’s often missed is how ADHD can quietly—and powerfully—intersect with sexual behavior.

Infidelity is one of the most devastating blows a relationship can face. The emotional fallout is intense—shame, grief, anger, confusion, and heartbreak all intertwine. But despite the pain, healing is possible. And if you’re the one who broke the trust, know this: you play a crucial role in whether the relationship can truly recover.

Being discarded by someone you love, especially when it's for someone else, can feel like a brutal emotional sucker punch. It often comes out of nowhere, with no warning, leaving you in a whirlwind of confusion, grief, and self-doubt. If you're here, you're likely searching for answers—or simply trying to catch your breath.

Couples therapy is a powerful resource for improving communication, rebuilding trust, and fostering emotional intimacy. However, not every relationship can—or should—be saved. Despite best intentions, some relationship challenges run too deep for therapy to resolve.

When IFS and EMDR therapy are combined, the result is a deeply compassionate and effective approach to healing trauma. IFS lays the groundwork, supports the inner system during EMDR, and integrates the changes that emerge. EMDR, in turn, accelerates trauma processing and helps release the emotional charge of painful memories.

Love addiction (also called relationship addiction or a trauma bond) isn't about healthy romantic desire. It's about emotional survival. You feel like you need this person to be okay—often despite your values, your pain, or your better judgment.

Bringing up a kink with your partner can feel exciting—or terrifying. Maybe you’ve carried this desire quietly for years, unsure how it would land. Maybe you're newly discovering what turns you on and wondering how to open up without ruining the dynamic you have.

You are not owed sex. Not from your wife. Not because you’re married. And definitely not because you have a penis.

This mindset—whether conscious or unconscious—is a root issue in many betrayals, and unless it’s addressed head-on, recovery will stall and relationships won’t heal.

If you're reading this, chances are you're tired—tired of the shame, secrecy, and spirals. You may have tried to quit on your own, made promises you couldn't keep, or even sought help but didn’t feel fully understood.

You’re not alone. Recovery is possible—and it’s not just about stopping behaviors. It’s about healing the deeper wounds that drive them.

If you’ve experienced betrayal at the hands of a partner who was active in addiction—whether it was sexual acting out, infidelity, financial deception, or emotional abandonment—you're likely grappling with a heavy, painful question:

“How do I forgive someone for something they did when they ‘weren’t themselves’?”

Betrayal trauma isn’t just heartbreak—it’s a real trauma, affecting your sense of safety, trust, and even your identity. Healing from it requires time, support, and intentional care.

Healing after infidelity isn’t just about stopping the behaviors — it’s about addressing the deep emotional wounds betrayal creates. One of the biggest barriers to recovery is when the betrayed partner feels like they have to "fix" the relationship, while the partner who acted out stays emotionally detached.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel like being trapped in a cycle of intrusive thoughts and exhausting rituals. Many people with OCD spend years managing symptoms without getting to the root of the anxiety driving them.

Codependency doesn’t come out of nowhere—it often has deep roots in our earliest relationships. Many people who struggle with codependent patterns as adults were once children who had to prioritize others’ needs to feel loved, safe, or accepted.

For many women, sexual arousal can feel confusing or even elusive. Culture often promotes the idea that arousal should be spontaneous, effortless, and constant—but for most women, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
