Couples often reach out to me to fine-tune their communication or to address larger unresolved issues, including infidelity, substance abuse, a partner who shuts down or withdraws, anger, jealousy, and sexual dissatisfaction, among other reasons. Most couples just want to stop fighting, stop hurting, and regain closeness. My process starts with meeting both of you for the first meeting and then just once separately to get to know each of you better. After that, all future sessions are strictly couple's sessions. I also offer personalized Intensives for couples in crisis.

I have extensive experience working with sexual trauma, drug and sexual addictions, infidelity, infertility, grief and loss, depression, anxiety and anger.
Painful losses and traumatic experiences that accumulate through the course of our lives can hamper day to day functioning. Psychotherapy can help you understand yourself more deeply, to include how earlier traumatic experiences impact your interpersonal functioning, as well as how you see yourself and engage the world around you. As a West Indian and therapist of color, I have a deep understanding and regard for the historical and cultural landscapes that help to inform "who we are as a race". I am committed to creating a space where you can explore issues surrounding migration, acculturation and identity safely.

My specialization is helping couples through pre-marital guidance, infidelity, and communication/conflict resolution challenges.
Have you felt unheard or alone in your relationship? Perhaps you’ve tried to express your feelings and emotions and yet you still feel that no one cares. I applaud you for taking the first step toward a healthier journey for yourself and relationship. After meeting my husband and completing pre-martial counseling of my own, I came to realize my passion for helping couples strengthen their emotional and physical bonds came as a natural strength. With experience working with the family unit, I strive to assist families in pursuing new solutions to their problems that ultimately strengthen the family dynamic.

Infidelity Therapists
How does therapy for infidelity work?
A skilled infidelity therapist will provide a safe space for clients to communicate their feelings and concerns. The goal is to be completely honest about what led to the cheating and how it has affected the entire family to prevent it from recurring in the future. The therapist will help the clients work on rebuilding mutual trust and respect and developing better communication and conflict-resolution skills. If the goal is to remain a couple, clients will learn the “danger signs” for their specific relationship, and they will make a renewed commitment to be faithful.
How long does therapy for infidelity take?
Recovery from infidelity can take time, and it can vary from person to person. Generally, a therapist will want to see the clients at least once a week for around six months. Then the sessions can be arranged as needed, depending on the clients’ individual needs. While therapy may end or shift to an as-needed basis, it can take up to two years or more for some clients to fully recover from infidelity.
How does therapy help the partner who was cheated on?
When a client discovers their partner’s infidelity, their trust in the relationship and in the life they had together may be shattered. They often experience mental health symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, grief, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They don’t always want to stay in the relationship; they may feel ambivalent or may even want to leave. Therapy gives these clients a safe and healthy way to communicate all of their complicated emotions and concerns.
How does therapy help the partner who committed infidelity?
Infidelity often occurs when one or both partners’ emotional needs are not being met in the relationship. Therapy can help this client understand why they cheated and figure out how to address those unmet needs without resorting to infidelity in the future. This can lessen (but not entirely eliminate) the risk of repeated infidelity. Clients who cheat may also feel intense guilt about deceiving their partners, a sentiment that they can work through in therapy.
