I empower betrayed women to not only survive, but truly thrive, as they step into their best lives while healing from the soul-crushing pain of sexual betrayal.
If you’re here, you’ve probably experienced a kind of pain that’s hard to put into words. The kind that turns your world upside down, makes you question everything, and leaves you feeling frozen, anxious, and alone.
I want you to know right now: you are not crazy, and you are not alone. I know the heartbreak of sexual betrayal intimately—because I’ve lived it.
In February of 2020, I was blindsided. Less than 24 hours after what was supposed to be a full therapeutic disclosure, my then-husband of 21 years told me he no longer wanted to be married. I had walked into that disclosure believing we were on the path to healing—a path of truth, transparency, and trust. But instead, it marked the beginning of the end. I later learned that his secret sexual behaviors had impacted our relationship from the very beginning.
It was excruciating. But it was also the beginning of my own healing journey—one that ultimately led me here, to this work I now cherish.
OUR WOUNDS ARE OFTEN THE OPENINGS INTO THE BEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL PART OF US." ― David Richo
Joining a small betrayal trauma coaching group changed everything for me. I found a community of courageous, compassionate women who offered me support, connection, and the validation I so desperately needed.
I gained a wealth of knowledge and education about betrayal trauma, pornography addiction, and sexual addiction—information that helped make sense of what I had been experiencing.
That group gave me something I will never stop being grateful for: education, validation, and community. And it sparked a deep desire in me I couldn’t ignore—to help other women heal and feel seen, supported, and whole again.
Becoming a Betrayal Trauma Coach felt like the most natural next step. For over four years now, I’ve had the honor of supporting women through some of the most painful chapters of their lives.
My coaching offers a clear path through the grief, shock, and chaos of betrayal trauma, whether your partner is choosing recovery or not. More than anything, my clients get a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves.
Over the years life has taken me through twists and turns I never expected—and taught me that healing is always possible. Transformation is possible. Even when the pain feels unbearable, you can rebuild your life and create something meaningful, even beautiful, from the broken pieces.
On a more personal note...
I find joy in the simple, sweet moments of life—walking my dog, rollerskating with my daughter, playing skeeball, blasting music, listening to podcasts, going to plays, planning game nights, and creating anything I can get my hands on. I believe healing lives in both the quiet and the creative.
If you’re hurting right now, please know there is hope.
I wasn’t crazy.
Sexual betrayal doesn’t just break your heart; it hijacks your entire nervous system. The anxiety…the racing thoughts…the heaviness in my heart…the deep ache in my gut…my body was responding to real harm, even when I didn’t have all the facts. What I was feeling wasn’t irrational. It was trauma. And naming it helped me start to trust myself again.
My intuition had always been spot on.
For years I sensed something wasn’t right, but I kept doubting myself, especially when I was met with denial or gaslighting. Learning to trust my gut helped me see I wasn’t imagining things. I was picking up on things my nervous system knew before my mind could make sense of them.
I wasn’t the cause—and I couldn’t be the cure—of my husband’s secret sexual behaviors.
No amount of love, patience, sex, beauty, or perfectionism could have stopped his compulsive choices. And nothing I did—or didn’t do—made him betray me. His behavior was never about me. Letting go of that weight set me free.
Addiction isn’t a relationship problem—even though it destroys relationships.
I thought if we just communicated better or tried harder, we could fix things. But addiction isn’t solved by couple’s work. It stems from deep wounds, patterns, and dysfunctions that existed long before I came into the picture. Understanding that helped me step out of the cycle of blame and take back my power.
This is true for me. And it's true for you too!
