Virtual therapy in Texas specializing in betrayal trauma, divorce, and identity loss.
“I gave so much, I don’t even recognize myself anymore”
“I still love them, and I’m so angry”
“I don’t know what’s real anymore”
“How do I even begin to rebuild after this?”
Is this what it’s been like for you?
I see you.
If that’s where you are right now, you’re not alone.
Maybe you’ve discovered an affair. Or maybe the betrayal is harder to name, emotional distance, secrecy, broken promises, a slow unraveling of trust over time. Either way, something that once felt solid no longer does. And that kind of rupture doesn’t just affect your relationship, it shakes your sense of reality.
You find yourself going back over everything. Replaying conversations, scanning for clues, and trying to figure out what was real and what wasn’t. You question your memory, your instincts, your judgment, wondering how you didn’t see it, or if you did and talked yourself out of it. It’s like your mind is trying to solve something that doesn’t have a clear answer. On the outside, you might still be functioning, showing up, getting through the day. But inside, your body feels on edge, like it can’t fully settle. Your thoughts keep looping, trying to make sense of something that doesn’t quite add up.
And then there’s the part that feels the most confusing, you can still love them. And at the same time feel hurt, angry, even disgusted. You might find yourself swinging between wanting to stay and wanting to leave, or wanting answers and wanting to shut it all down. It’s exhausting trying to hold all of that at once. You may feel stuck in your head, second guessing everything, unsure what you actually need or what would even help. You may also. feel disconnected from yourself in a way that feels unfamiliar and scary.
Underneath it all, there’s this question that keeps coming up, whether you say it out loud or not: “Can I trust myself again?”
I’m a mental health counselor, and I’ve lived this.
I know how disorienting it is when everything suddenly changes and nothing feels clear anymore.
And when that happens, it’s not just about understanding what went wrong. It’s about trying to make sense of how it affected you. This is where we begin. We slow things down and sort through what actually happened, not just the facts, but the impact it’s had on you, so you’re not weighed down by that burden, trying to piece it all together on your own.
Because when everything is spinning, your mind will keep trying to solve it. It keeps going back, replaying, analyzing, searching for something that will finally make it all click. Part of our work is helping you step out of that constant overthinking and into a place where things start to feel a little more steady. Where you can slow down, breathe, and begin making decisions from a place that feels more grounded, instead of reactive or overwhelmed.
From there, we focus on rebuilding your trust in yourself. Not just understanding what happened, but learning how to listen to your instincts again, how to recognize what you need, and how to move forward in a way that actually feels right to you.
You won’t have to do that alone. I’ll guide you through this, step by step. Together, we create clarity where things feel confusing, and over time, you start to feel more like yourself again, while also making space for the version of you that’s emerging through this. But I know emotional space is only part of what you need. When it feels impossible to know what the next steps are, I'll guide you through the process giving you compassionate and practical guidance.
And as we do this work, there are a few things I want you to hold onto, even if they’re hard to believe right now. This wasn’t about your worth. There was nothing wrong with you. What you’re experiencing makes sense.
Hi, I’m Cristina.
I specialize in …
-
Betrayal trauma can leave you feeling disoriented, on edge, and stuck in a cycle you can’t get out of. It can take many forms, emotional, physical, secrecy, broken trust, or something you can’t fully put into words, but still feel deeply. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what happened, and help you feel more settled and sure of yourself again.
-
Infidelity can leave you going over everything, what you missed, what was real, what you can even trust now. You might still love them and feel hurt, angry, or completely shut down at the same time. Together, we work through what happened and help you understand what you need, so you can decide what comes next in a way that feels right to you.
-
Divorce or separation can leave you grieving what you thought your life would be, while also trying to figure out who you are without it. There’s a lot to sort through all at once. Together, we work through what you’re losing and help you move forward in a way that feels more like you, and more honest to what you need now.
-
Losing trust in yourself can leave you second guessing everything, what you feel, what you need, what you even know to be true. It can feel like you’ve lost your sense of who you are somewhere along the way.
But this isn’t just about getting back to who you were before. Together, we work toward helping you reconnect with yourself and rediscover what’s true for you now, so you can start to trust your instincts again and move forward in a way that actually feels like you.
