What happened matters.
What happens next
matters too.
When the ground shifts
An apology
is a beginning.
You may want to feel close again and still struggle to trust. I help you make room for the hurt, the answers, and the responsibility that repair requires.

MEET SHIRA
I stay with the
difficult conversation.
I work exclusively with couples. I’m active in the room: slowing the spiral, asking the hard questions, and helping you hear what keeps getting lost.
Couples-only practice.
High-fidelity Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Room for both voices.
Honesty about harm.
The questions you may be carrying
The hard questions
belong here.
You do not have to promise reconciliation before we have spoken about what happened.
You do not have to decide before you begin. We can talk honestly about what each of you wants, what would need to change, and whether working on the relationship together is the right next step.
There is no fixed number of sessions. The circumstances of the betrayal, ongoing honesty, and each partner’s willingness to participate all affect the work. We review what is changing and what still needs attention.
No. You can begin with the hurt, uncertainty, and questions you have now. I will not pressure you to forgive or move on before you are ready.
Tell me at the outset. Whether contact is continuing, concealed, unavoidable, or has ended changes what we need to address. Clear boundaries and honesty about ongoing contact are central to any attempt to rebuild trust.
There is no fixed number of sessions. The circumstances of the betrayal, ongoing honesty, and each partner’s willingness to participate all affect the work. We will review how things are changing and what still needs attention.
