Meet Kathy
“Discovery of your partner’s sexual betrayal is traumatic. In the blink of an eye, your entire world as you knew it imploded, and now you wonder how you will ever survive the utter devastation. As a woman who's walked in your shoes, I can help you navigate through the torrential waters of betrayal to a place of healing. I know your heart is broken, and I want to help you heal. I see you, I hear you, and you are not alone.”
As a Certified Professional Coach and someone who personally walked through this journey, I desire to lovingly and practically guide you through the devastating impact of the discovery of your partner’s secret life. Having trained under Dr. Barbara Steffens in the APSATS Multi-dimensional Partner Trauma Model, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to help my clients heal from the devastation of betrayal trauma. When your world blows up, I can help you identify what you need to clarify your boundaries and important emotional requests.
I have also completed the “Door of Hope Peer Facilitator Training” under Donna Dixon, acquiring the skills necessary to facilitate partner’s support groups. We were created for connection, and healing is best done in the context of community. Having a safe place to bring ALL of your raw emotions is pivotal to your healing process, and we all need a place where we feel seen, heard.
I have worked and trained under Dr. Jake Porter for over five years, specifically in his Couple-Center Recovery Model, and specialize in supporting partners of sex addicts in preparation for therapeutic disclosures. Knowing your reality is one of the first steps in helping you gain a sense of safety and stability. You have lived sometimes for many years, not knowing your partner had a secret life. I want to help get answers to all the unanswered questions you have swimming around in your mind.
In addition to my role as a Relational Recovery Coach, I’m also the Intensive Coordinator, assisting clients from all over the country to prepare for their unique intensive experience.
I am passionate about empowering women to rise from the ashes of devastation stronger than they ever imagined they could be! There is hope for your healing regardless of your partner’s choices! Sexual betrayal does not have to define you. You can have a life you love!
