About My Clients

Are you struggling with the impact of sex addiction and betrayal trauma in your relationship? Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and lost—like a storm has turned their world upside down. They’re searching for clarity, healing, and hope for themselves, their relationships, and their families. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone—and there is a path forward. Connie specializes in sex addiction, betrayal trauma, CPTSD, EMDR, grief and loss, anxiety, depression and more.

My Background and Approach

With advanced training as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT), and EMDR-trained clinician, I offer a highly specialized and compassionate approach to treating both sex addiction and betrayal trauma. I understand how deeply these experiences can disrupt your sense of safety, identity, and connection—with yourself and those you love. My work is rooted in a trauma-informed lens that honors the emotional realities of both partners and individuals. Whether you're struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors or reeling from the devastation of betrayal, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to process pain, rebuild trust, and foster true healing. Using proven, research-based methods—including EMDR to target and reprocess painful memories—I guide clients in making sense of their story, reclaiming their voice, and moving forward with clarity and resilience. Healing from betrayal and addiction is possible. You don’t have to face it alone.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Rooted in the values of hard work, compassion, and connection, I believe healing begins in safe, authentic relationships. Growing up on a farm taught me the power of resilience and tending to what matters most—lessons I carry into every session. Inspired by my parents’ legacy of care and grit, I approach therapy with empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s story. I believe in cultivating empowered healing through connection, courage, and compassionate guidance.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
