About Your Coach

Ah, this is where I get to tell you about ME!

I decided to devote my life to helping partners/spouses of sexual addicts and intimacy anorexics 3 years after the discovery of sexual addiction within my own marriage. I immediately began researching addiction and looking for support and help for myself. I found TONS of support for my husband, but resources for ME: almost zip, zilch, NADA.  I dug and dug and finally found a few therapists who claimed to be trained in helping spouses like myself, but I would often leave my therapy appointments feeling more traumatized than when I went in. I soon learned that there needed to be people LIKE ME to help partners who have experienced sexual betrayal in all forms heal and reclaim their lives. I entered my own personal recovery journey and 3 years later decided to become professionally trained at Impact Coaching Academy. In addition to my training at Impact Coaching Academy seeking certification in Life Coaching and Relationship Coaching,  I am training with the American Association of Sexual Addiction Therapists (AASAT) to become a  Partner Recovery Coach and a Intimacy Anorexia Coach. I am intimately experienced in 12-step recovery work and encourage it within my practice. I work from the TRAUMA model of coaching. I will not label you co-dependent, tell you that you are as sick as your partner, or blame you for your partners actions and behaviors. I have TONS of tools in my toolbox to get you from where you are NOW to where you want to be.

I am a MOM. I have three children. I worked full time in the corporate world and have a WEALTH of Coaching, Mentoring and Facilitation Experience. I am an avid runner, an ultra marathoner. I am also the daughter of addicted parents and a recovered substance abuse user myself. I bring a wealth of personal and professional experience to the table to really help you tackle the issues your are facing. I have accomplished some amazing things in my life, and I want to help you do the same! The sky is the limit!

Working with me you get both personal and professional experience. I know exactly where you are. I know what you are feeling. I have been there, and I found healing, peace and hope for myself. I hope that I get to experience that transformation within you as well as your partner in the process.
