In-Person in Franklin, TN | Online Across CA & TN
Heal from infidelity. Rebuild trust. Decide what comes next.
But how could this happen to us?
You never imagined you would be here. You’re questioning everything, and you’re wonder whether anything can feel secure again. Some days you want to fight for the relationship. But other days you’re not sure you can survive the hurt.
For one partner, you may be replaying conversations and searching for signs you missed. You want answers or reassurance, you want to know whether trust can ever feel real again: What’s wrong with me that my partner cheated? How could someone say they love me and then hurt me so badly? How could we ever reestablish trust? How could I ever trust myself again?
For another partner, you can’t explain it, but somehow you found yourself making one small choice after another that eventually lead to the ultimate relationship violation. You may feel regret, shame, defensiveness, or confusion about how things escalated. You might want to take it back. You might also want your partner to understand what led you there.
Maybe you’re sitting across from each other and trying to decide what to do next, the uncertainty feeling unbearable. You don’t know whether to rebuild from scratch or to prepare to go your separate ways. You only know that what you had before is gone.
You feel shaken and disoriented:
Your understanding of your relationship has been turned upside down
You’re regretful… but frustrated that your partner can’t seem to get past it
You keep asking the same questions over and over without feeling any better
You don’t know how much to ask or how much to say
You feel pressure to “move on,” but you’re nowhere near ready
You wonder whether staying means settling or whether leaving means giving up
healing is possible
Therapy for infidelity recovery can help you rebuild.
Infidelity doesn’t automatically mean your relationship is over. Some couples separate while many choose to stay. What matters is that the next steps are intentional rather than reactive.
Recovery is not about pretending it didn’t happen. It’s about understanding what happened, stabilizing the rupture, and deciding how you want to move forward.
When both partners are willing to engage honestly, repair is possible. Trust can be rebuilt, but only through consistency, transparency, and new patterns over time.
Therapy gives the betrayed partner space to ask the questions they need to ask without being told to “get over it”. You learn how to process the shock and regain your footing.
For the partner who stepped out, therapy helps develop understanding about the choices that led there- not to excuse them, but to prevent them from repeating. Accountability is part of repair.
If you’re unsure whether you to stay or go, therapy can help you slow the urgency and make a thoughtful decision rather than one driven by panic.
My approach to infidelity work is structured and steady, and I work form a place of compassion and understanding. We focus on stabilizing the crisis first. Then we move into clarity and communication. Only after that do we begin rebuilding intimacy.
Rebuilding is not quick or simple. But it is possible.
And you do not have to navigate it alone.
what if you could…
Understand the meaning of the affair
Instead of staying stuck in “How could this happen?”, you begin to understand the context- not to justify it or excuse it but to make sense of it. You clarify what was missing, what was avoided, and what needs to change moving forward. From there, you build something new with honesty and transparency.
Restore trust in a real, sustainable way
Trust does not return simply because someone promises it will never happen again. It builds over time through consistent behavior, accountability, and clear boundaries. In therapy, we create structure around those steps so repair feels steady rather than chaotic.
Create a realtionship that’s stronger than ever
For some couples, the “after” relationship becomes more intentional than the one that existed before the betrayal: conversations are clearer, needs are named instead of avoided, and intimacy becomes chosen rather than assumed.
This is not about pretending the hurt did not happen. It is about deciding what you want your relationship to become now.
From betrayal to rebuilding
You don’t have to go it alone.
Right now, everything feels uncertain. You may not know whether to stay or go, and you might not know whether you can trust the relationship again. You might not even know what you need. But I want you to know that healing and reconnection is possible.
Book your consultation and take the first step toward clarity.

What to expect from infidelity counseling
-
Infidelity work is structured. We begin by stabilizing the immediate crisis so conversations feel safer and more contained. From there, we clarify what happened, what it meant, and what each of you needs moving forward.
Sessions are direct and honest. We move at a pace that allows for real understanding rather than repeated conflict.
-
Counseling works when both partners are willing to be honest, consistent, and patient with the process. It does not erase what happened. It helps you respond to it differently.
Some couples repair and rebuild. Some decide to part in a thoughtful way. In both cases, the work helps you move forward with greater clarity.
-
No.
I fully understand that relationships are complex, and sometimes people behave in ways that are contrary to their own values.
My role is to help you understand what led to the betrayal, take responsibility for it, and make meaningful changes so it does not repeat. It is not my job to moralize or shame you. It’s my job to help you heal and move forward.
-
No.
Choosing to stay doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re willing to examine your history, your values, and your hopes carefully.
Therapy is a space where your decisions are respected. It’s not my job to make decisions for you, and whether you stay or leave, the goal is clarity and integrity, not pressure.

Schedule a consultation. We’ll talk briefly about your situation and determine whether working together makes sense.
