Partner Betrayal Trauma Therapy

Betrayal trauma occurs when the person you trusted most becomes the source of pain. Many partners experience:

• Intrusive thoughts and flashbacks
• Panic, anxiety, or emotional flooding
• Obsessive questioning and hypervigilance
• Loss of trust in themselves and others
• Depression, shame, and identity collapse

Trauma-informed betrayal therapy helps you:

• Calm trauma triggers and stabilize the nervous system
• Process grief, rage, and heartbreak
• Rebuild self-trust and clarity
• Establish boundaries and emotional safety
• Decide whether to stay, separate, or rebuild

This work is essential for genuine healing from infidelity, pornography addiction, or chronic deception, offering hope for recovery.

Couples Therapy for Infidelity, Affairs & Sex Addiction

When a relationship has been impacted by cheating, emotional affairs, pornography, or sexual compulsivity, our specialized couples therapy guarantees strict confidentiality and privacy to support trust repair and healing.

I integrate the Gottman Method, the Early Recovery Couples Empathy Model, EMDR, the NeuroAffective Relational Model®, and the IITAP addiction recovery framework to support couples. I help couples:

• Restore emotional and physical safety
• Rebuild trust after betrayal
• Improve communication and conflict resolution
• Heal attachment wounds
• Reconnect emotionally and sexually

This approach treats both the relationship rupture and the addiction-driven trauma cycle, helping you feel understood and supported for real change—not surface-level fixes.

Sex Addiction & Compulsive Sexual Behavior Recovery

Sex addiction, pornography addiction, and compulsive sexual behavior create profound trauma for partners and deep shame for the person struggling with addiction.

Using the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP) model, I provide:

• Sex addiction therapy for individuals

• Partner betrayal trauma therapy for spouses and partners

• Couples’ recovery therapy for long-term relational repair

By combining IITAP’s evidence-based addiction framework with EMDR and the NeuroAffective Relational Model®, we address:

• The underlying trauma and attachment wounds driving addiction

• Relapse prevention and accountability

• Nervous-system regulation

• Trust repair and emotional reconnection

NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM) for Betrayal Trauma PTSD

Many betrayed partners develop betrayal trauma PTSD. I use:

• EMDR therapy to process traumatic memories

• NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM) to heal developmental and attachment trauma.

• IITAP-informed addiction treatment to stabilize the relational system

This integrated approach allows for deep healing—not just symptom reduction.
