Betrayal Trauma Therapy

What you discovered was real. Your reaction makes sense.

When the person you trusted most becomes the source of your pain, the ground gives way beneath you. I work with partners, women and men, navigating betrayal and infidelity, using a model built specifically for this kind of wound.

My approach

The Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model.

Betrayal isn't something to get over. It's a trauma, and it deserves to be treated as one. I'm trained through APSATS in the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model (MPTM), an approach developed specifically for partners affected by sexual betrayal and infidelity.

Together we move at your pace toward three things: stabilization for a nervous system in crisis, comfort in the midst of overwhelming emotion, and understanding of what happened and what comes next. You don't have to make any decisions about your relationship to begin healing.

What the work looks like

Stabilization, comfort, understanding

Stabilization
First we steady the storm: grounding tools and safety planning for the racing thoughts, sleepless nights, and physical toll betrayal takes on your body.
Comfort
A space where your pain is witnessed and validated, never minimized, rushed, or blamed on you. You deserve compassion while you're in the thick of it.
Understanding
Making sense of the betrayal, your reactions, and your options, so you can move forward grounded in clarity rather than crisis, whatever you choose.

You might recognize

How betrayal trauma can show up

— Intrusive images, replaying details, or a constant urge to investigate
— Hypervigilance, scanning for the next lie, never quite able to feel safe
— Swinging between rage, grief, numbness, and doubt within a single day
— Questioning your own reality, memory, or worth
— Anxiety, shame, or isolation you can't explain to the people around you

Why it matters to me

“Partners are too often treated as a footnote to someone else's addiction. You are not collateral. Your trauma is real, and your healing is the whole point of our work.”

Who I work with

Betrayal wears many faces

Sexual betrayal & sex addiction
For partners of sex addicts and those facing compulsive sexual behavior, affairs, or chronic secrecy.
Infidelity
Emotional or physical affairs, ongoing deception, and the disorienting work of rebuilding a sense of truth.
Financial & other betrayal
Hidden debt, secret spending, and other breaches of trust that shake the foundation of a partnership.

You're not alone in this

A room full of people who get it.
For the past year I've co-facilitated betrayal trauma groups, and I've watched the shift when partners realize they aren't the only one. Group gives you something individual sessions can't: being understood by people who have lived the same thing.
