About me

I am a coach who specializes in working with partners (male or female) who are or were previously, in a relationship with someone who sexually betrayed them. I can prepare either the betraying or the betrayed partner and facilitate the Rite of Truth/Full Disclosure meeting. I also support couples attempting to build a new relationship after disclosure. I can work with clients anywhere in the world via Zoom meetings.

I was trained by Barbara Steffens Ph.D. and Carol Juergensen Sheets in the APSATS Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model. I was also trained by Carol Juergensen Sheets and Dr. Jake Porter in the Early Recovery Couples Empathy Model. I was trained to guide couples in Full Therapeutic Disclosures by Dr. Janice Caudill and Dan Drake, recognized leaders in disclosures. I completed all 4 levels and certified under Dr. Omar Minwalla in his model of Deceptive Sexuality Trauma Treatment. I am certified in attachment theory and repair under Dr. Diane Poole Heller including all four levels of DARe (Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning experience). I have completed separate training programs in both trauma and IFS (Internal Family Systems informed). I am a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner with several additional specialty trainings.

I am additionally certified as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) and a Certified Divorce Coach (CDC). I am certified as a Pastoral Sex Addiction Professional (PSAP) through IITAP.

I am a PCC ICF Certified coach. I completed my coach training at Coach U, a global leader in professional coaching. Prior to coaching, I had a 20 year career in investments in various positions.
