My Approach
As both an ICF-accredited and APSATS-trained coach, my approach integrates professional excellence with trauma-informed care. The ICF framework ensures ethical, client-centered collaboration empowering you to identify goals, access inner resources, and create sustainable change. The APSATS model brings specialized understanding of betrayal trauma, focusing on safety, stabilization, and empowerment throughout the recovery process. Together, these approaches create a structured yet compassionate environment that honors your story and supports true healing. My role is to hold space with skill, empathy, and accountability so you can move toward restoration with clarity and strength.
Individual Coaching
When a woman discovers betrayal, her world can feel shattered — emotionally, spiritually, and physically. In our coaching sessions, we begin by stabilizing your internal world: learning to breathe again, name what’s true, and establish a sense of safety. From there, we work on rebuilding your voice and sense of identity, integrating somatic and spiritual practices that help your body and soul move from chaos toward calm. Using the APSATS Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model, we honor the full impact of betrayal — recognizing that your pain is not weakness but evidence of deep attachment and courage. Each session is a collaborative process of discovery, compassion, and choice. Over time, you’ll find yourself grounded, discerning, and able to make decisions aligned with your values and truth. Healing becomes not just recovery from what happened, but a reawakening of who you were always meant to be.
couples coaching
For couples seeking to rebuild after betrayal, coaching provides a structured, compassionate space to begin again with honesty and care. We focus first on safety and emotional regulation, helping each partner develop tools to communicate truthfully without reactivity or shame. Using empathy dialogues and somatic awareness, couples learn to slow down, listen differently, and begin to see one another through a lens of humanity rather than pain. Trust is not demanded — it is rebuilt through consistent honesty, empathy, and personal responsibility. Together, we explore how to establish boundaries, rebuild emotional intimacy, and cultivate patterns of safety that support long-term healing. This is not quick work, but it is sacred work — a process of choosing restoration one moment at a time. My role is to guide you both with steadiness, compassion, and respect for the courage it takes to rebuild love after broken trust.
