Why the Gottman Method Works
Healing After Infidelity & Betrayal Trauma
Infidelity can shake the entire foundation of a relationship — emotionally, physically, and psychologically. Betrayal trauma is real, and both partners often need support, guidance, and structure to move forward.
My approach includes:
Understanding the full impact of the betrayal
Stabilization and emotional grounding
Trauma-informed support for the hurt partner
Accountability and transparency work with the participating partner
Rebuilding trust through evidence-based steps
A structured path toward repair, recovery, or clarity
Healing is possible — with time, safety, and the right framework.
What to Expect in the First Sessions

We explore what’s happening, what you need, and what your shared goals are.
Communication Tools:
You’ll learn Gottman-based strategies like soft start-up, repair attempts, and conflict de-escalation.
Relationship Roadmap:
We create a clear treatment plan for strengthening connection or working through infidelity recovery.
Can one partner come alone?
Yes. Sometimes individual support is helpful before or alongside couples sessions.
Do you work with blended or co-parenting families?
Absolutely — parenting dynamics often overlap with relationship stress.
How long does healing from infidelity take?
It varies by couple, but many begin feeling more stable within weeks, with deeper trust rebuilding happening over months.
