      <image:caption>I get it because I have been there myself. I understand the devastation of betrayal and loss. As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you come to terms with your betrayal or loss, how it has changed you, and find ways to integrate it into your life so you can move forward. I am specially trained in helping partners of betrayal trauma in addition to being a Certified Grief Counseling Specialist. I am also a nationally board certified counselor. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients during some of the most difficult and vulnerable times of their lives.

      <image:title>Services - Relational Betrayal</image:title>
      <image:caption>You feel like you’ve been on an emotional roller coaster. You walk around pretending to be ok, but inside you are slowly dying. Your life has been turned upside down and don’t even know who you are anymore. The person you loved and trusted most in this world has betrayed you. Whether the betrayal was by your partner or someone else close to you, your relationship is forever changed. You aren’t even sure what’s real anymore, and what’s a lie. Your heart feels like it’s been torn from your body and you know you can’t live like this anymore. You feel alone, confused, sad, mad, anxious, and unsure where to go from here. Any of this sound familiar? If your answer is yes, first let me say I’m so sorry you are going through this. Any kind of relational betrayal is very painful. There is hope, however. Together, we can work through the myriad of feelings you have, help you feel more stable, and align your personal values with your life so you can understand the next steps you need to take. Sexual betrayal, in particular, is the most intimate and painful type of betrayal someone can experience. If you have discovered an act of infidelity in your relationship, or perhaps multiple sexual indiscretions, the effects can be traumatic. I have completed training in the *Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model to help partners who have been sexually betrayed. As a CCPS-candidate (Certified Clinical Partner Specialist), I have a trauma-informed perspective and recognize the serious emotional injury that partners often experience when exposed to chronic sexual betrayal. I can help you heal and feel empowered to create the life you want.</image:caption>
