Discovering that your intimate partner has been deceptive can shatter your sense of safety, trust, and even reality itself. It often triggers intense and overwhelming emotions. You do not have to navigate this chaos alone. I am here to support you. I provide person-centered, trauma-informed therapy for individuals who have experienced trauma resulting from repeated patterns of deception in intimate relationships, such as hidden pornography use, infidelity, or other secret sexual behaviors. 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. While my work currently focuses on the lived experience and safety of victims, I believe that healing is possible for everyone affected by integrity abuse: for victims, for families impacted by relational deception, and for individuals whose secret sexual behaviors or compulsive patterns have caused real harm. Meaningful change is possible when individuals who have caused harm participate in genuine, integrity-based recovery that includes accountability, honesty, and a sustained commitment to ending deception. My clinical work is informed by the Deceptive Sexuality Trauma framework (Minwalla, 2012; 2015) and by over 84 hours of APA-approved advanced education completed directly with Dr. Omar Minwalla, who developed the original trauma model for partners of sex-addicted men and later expanded it into the Deceptive Sexuality & Trauma Treatment (DSTT) Model.
