Have you been betrayed and deceived by someone you love?

Have you been betrayed and deceived by someone you love? The anguish and turmoil stirred by betrayal, particularly by those closest to us, can feel isolating and insurmountable.

When Will I Get Better?

Therapy is often a long-term commitment. It is a commitment you make to yourself. Your involvement and dedication to the process is crucial. As is my approach to making this a safe and comfortable environment for you while introducing techniques and interventions to use towards your struggles. Let’s take a moment to focus on the fact that you are here and how proud it makes you.

What will therapy be like?

As your therapist, I will collaborate with you by observing, assessing and determining what will best help you and fits your needs.

In most cases, we will start out with once a week and increase if appropriate. Every few months we will re-evaluate to determine if a decreased frequency is necessary.
