Discovering that your intimate partner has been deceptive can trigger intense emotions: shock, disbelief, grief, anger, anxiety, shame, confusion, numbness, despair, loss of identity, and sometimes even relief. You do not have to navigate this chaos alone. I am here for you. I provide person-centered, trauma-informed therapy for individuals who have experienced betrayal trauma, including trauma resulting from repeated patterns of deception in intimate relationships such as hidden pornography use, infidelity, or other secret sexual behaviors. My clinical work is informed by the Deceptive Sexuality Trauma framework (Minwalla, 2019) and by over 84 hours of APA-approved advanced education in this model completed directly with Dr. Omar Minwalla. Therapy begins by helping you feel stabilized and safe. We then explore the systemic impact of relational deception, support reconnection with your intuition, and help you make empowered choices aligned with your values and wellbeing. Our time together will be a sacred and supported space where truth, boundaries, and emotional clarity guide the healing process as you move toward your own New Dawn.
