Infidelity is treated as a trauma. Betrayal is a symptom of other issues and 80% of couples that encounter infidelity will stay together.  Utilizing experience from the personal impact this had in her life uniquely helps her professional experience. Kristy uses a simple set of guidelines initially in session: 1. Identify the here and now (what issues are most upsetting in the moment) a. How to overcome and /or reduce the impact of those issues) b. Tools are given for communication and techniques that help reduce or manage isssues being faced at the present moment. 2. Root issues are dealt with in time and identified through the process. Most couples and individuals come in with a dominant concern they can't seem to overcome, in relation to the crisis. Root issues are usually not of interest right away, but they will be discussed and are an important part of therapy overall. Kristy works as a Life Coach to provide service to clients in other states, and is fully licenced to practice therapy and provide EMDR in California.
