Areas I support
Betrayal trauma and infidelity recovery in Chicago
Broken trust is its own kind of injury. I work with the hurt partner and with couples: processing the rupture, rebuilding what can be rebuilt, and deciding together what comes next.
What betrayal does
Discovering an affair, hidden behavior, or a long-kept secret can upend your sense of reality. Intrusive images, checking, sleeplessness, and swinging between rage and numbness are common trauma responses, not overreactions.
Ways we can work
- Individually, if you're the hurt partner and need space that's entirely yours
- As a couple, moving through the stages of recovery: stabilizing, understanding what happened, and rebuilding or ending well
You don't have to know the ending yet
Many people start this work unsure whether they want to stay. That's okay. Therapy doesn't assume an outcome; it helps you make the decision from a steadier place.
