Understand the impact
Make room for hurt, anger, uncertainty, and the questions each person brings.
Couples therapy after addiction or betrayal
A place to start
after broken trust.
When trust has been broken, even a simple conversation can feel hard. We can slow things down and explore what each of you needs next.
Let’s talk A free, 15-minute conversation.
Room for both of you
You don’t have to know the outcome yet.
You may want to rebuild the relationship, feel uncertain about staying, or have very different hopes. We can begin with those questions rather than assume you need to reconcile.
We’ll first discuss whether meeting together is appropriate and safe. If there is fear, coercion, intimidation, or violence, raise that privately so we can consider suitable support.
What we can work on
Honest conversations. Meaningful choices.
Talk with more clarity
Practice listening, expressing needs, and discussing boundaries with less defensiveness.
Connect words and actions
Explore what accountability looks like. Responsibility for harmful behavior stays with the person who chose it.
Decide what comes next
Consider your options at a pace that respects both partners. There is no fixed timeline or guaranteed relationship outcome.
Different needs, different roles
Support around the couples work.
I also work individually with people seeking recovery from sex and porn addiction. I do not provide standalone individual therapy for betrayed partners. We’ll discuss when separate therapists may be appropriate.
If you are looking for more focused time, ask about a couples intensive. We’ll consider fit, safety, and the current format before making a plan.

A few common questions
You might be wondering…
Do we both have to know whether we want to stay?
No. We can talk about your different hopes and uncertainties, and whether couples therapy is the right setting to explore them.
Can one of us contact you first?
Yes. A consultation can clarify practical questions. We’ll discuss consent, privacy, and each person’s role before beginning joint treatment.
Does couples therapy guarantee that we will rebuild trust?
No. The work can support clearer conversations and decisions, but trust and relationship outcomes depend on many factors, including choices outside sessions.

Ask your questions, talk about what brings you here, and see whether working together feels right.
