I enjoy helping people work through challenges and heal issues that are stopping them from feeling peace. I have a strong sense of respect for each of my clients and believe they are experts in their own lives. Each individual will have their own unique solution as each has their own unique situation. I work to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment for my clients and can offer tools that help them better understand and process issues they are dealing with.
I have worked in the field since 2009, specializing in Infidelity, Problematic Sexual Behaviors (PSB), and Betrayal Trauma. My experience includes individual, couple/relational, and group counseling with both those struggling with PSB and those working to heal from betrayal. I have experience running groups for females struggling with PSB, males struggling with PSB, individuals working to heal from Betrayal Trauma, and couples workshops focusing on recovering from Infidelity, PSB, and Betrayal Trauma. I have my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Doctorate of Philosophy in Clinical Sexology. I am fully licensed as a LMFT Supervisor in the state of Texas and am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in multiple additional states. I am a CCRDS-S (Certified Connected Recovery Disclosure Specialist Supervisor) through Connected Recovery Trainings. I am EMDR Trained and have training in Somatic Experiencing and Psychodrama, and am PIT (Post Induction Therapy) Trained. I volunteered with law enforcement for six years, initially with the Dallas Prostitute Diversion Initiative, then as a presenter at the Dallas John School. I have presented at multiple professional conferences ranging from local to international levels, including ACA, the IITAP Symposium, SASH, AAMFT, TAMFT, and others, and am a regular a guest speaker at doctoral, graduate, undergraduate level classes. I am on the faculty for IITAP and teach the Connected Recovery™ Disclosure Model as part of their CCBRT training.
I created the Connected Recovery™ model (formerly Coupled Recovery), which connects current models in the field of Problematic Sexual Behaviors, Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD), Romantic Fantasy Preoccupation, Betrayal Trauma, relational counseling through an Emotionally-Focused lens, and Sex Therapy. Book one in the Connected Recovery™ series, titled Facing Hope, focuses on using truth to create emotional safety and is available here. The remaining books in the Connected Recovery™ series are in development. Book two focuses on middle recovery, helping individuals and couples deepen empathy and connection. The third book in that trilogy looks at late recovery, helping individuals and relationships develop healthy sexuality after betrayal or abuse. The other two books in the set include one that addresses surviving abandoned betrayal and one that helps parents know how to talk to their children as the parents go through the recovery process. Additionally, I’ve published a set of three booklets that walk those struggling with having betrayed their partner and those who are working to heal from being betrayed by their partner through the disclosure process, along with a book of the Connected Recovery™ handouts.For more information about my model and books, click here.
I grew up in Massachusetts and have also lived in New York, Washington, Idaho, Rhode Island, and now Texas. My husband and I moved to DFW in 2005. We have been married since 1997 and have six children, each of whom are all brilliant, hilarious, and some of the kindest people I know – they are my very favorite people to spend time with. I love anything related to New England and get homesick for it every September and October. The ocean is my favorite place and I visit it as often as I can.
