Welcome
Hi! I’m Heidi. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been working with combat veterans and their families since 2007. I’ve seen the impact high stress, affairs and trauma have on relationships. You may be feeling devastated, your world turned upside down, not knowing what is real or isn’t real in your relationship after a betrayal. You may be feeling isolated, having no where to turn, spinning from fighting over and over, or feeling even more disconnected from your loved one than ever. Maybe your views about the world and people have changed, wanting to avoid and be by your self due to a traumatic event in the past. Maybe it’s trust? Maybe it was an affair and you just can’t seem to recover, feeling hopeless. There is light at the end of the tunnel, I’ve seen healing come amongst couples and individuals impacted by truama. I will help you create a plan for healing, rebuilding trust and having a happier, more connected relationship.
Couples Counseling/Marriage Tele-Therapy
Is your communication off or having more fights? Feeling lonely in your relationship or marriage? Do you believe your partner is on your case about things? Maybe you’re not getting the attention or respect you once had or don’t talk or feel in love anymore. Couples therapy may be right for you.
Couples Counseling/Tele-Therapy for PTSD and Infidelity
Have you been arguing more in your relationship? Maybe the little things seem monstrous at times. Or maybe you’ve been emotionally distant from your partner or you notice one of you is isolating. Feeling as though your trust and world has been turned upside down? After an affair, did you know the hurt partner can exhibit PTSD? Those with PTSD are three to six times more likely to divorce than those without. Affairs also increase this likelihood. If you have been experiencing these things, couples therapy may be right for you.
Virtual PTSD Treatment
Having nightmares, reliving events from the past, or avoiding places and reminders of a traumatic event? Feeling detached from others around you? Or Experiencing guilt or shame? Feeling guarded and unsafe? PTSD treatment may be right for you.
Reconnect
If you are feeling disconnected, betrayed, or stuck in your problems, I will help you create a plan for a better, happier, more connected relationship.
Affair Recovery
You found out the person you trusted the most betrayed your trust. You feel devastated, alone, angry, and depressed. You may find it hard to find trust again. I can help ease your pain by helping you rebuild and feel safe and secure again.
