I know what it feels like when the life you thought you were living suddenly isn’t the life you were living at all.

I was married to my best friend, and I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world.

Shortly after our 21st wedding anniversary, I had my first big discovery day.

I learned that my husband had been living a double life.

And that discovery was only the beginning.

As I began pulling on that thread, I uncovered more and more involving his addictions. Suddenly, everything I thought I knew about my marriage, my life, and even myself was being questioned.

I was desperately trying to understand what was happening while also trying to protect my family and fight for my marriage.

I was surviving each day while looking everywhere I could for answers.

Eventually, I was introduced to the term betrayal trauma.

For the first time, I had language for what I was experiencing.

I had clarity.

And perhaps most importantly, I realized I wasn’t alone.

That changed everything.

 

My healing became my calling.

The people who helped me through that season gave me hope when I desperately needed it.

Because of that experience, I became a certified Life Coach so I could offer that same hope and support to others navigating betrayal, divorce, relationships and difficult seasons of life.

I know what it feels like to question everything.

To wonder if you can trust your own judgment.

To wonder what you missed.

To wonder what happens next.

And I know that healing doesn’t look the same for everyone.

I believe relationships can heal from incredibly difficult circumstances. I also learned that sometimes healing means accepting that a marriage needs to end.

After a lot of clarification, prayer and difficult conversations, I ultimately knew divorce was the right decision for me.

One of the hardest things I had to learn was that I could love someone and still choose safety, boundaries and a different path forward.

I eventually had to turn my former husband over to God and focus on the healing and safety I needed.

That experience changed me.

And it changed the way I coach.

Today, I help others find their way forward.

I work with people navigating:

My goal isn’t to tell you what decision to make.

My goal is to help you understand yourself, find clarity, build confidence and determine what moving forward looks like for you.

I want you to know that you can survive hard things.

You can heal.

You can rebuild trust in yourself.

And you can find hope again.

A Little More About Me:

I graduated from the University of Utah in 2000 with a BFA in Modern Dance.

I was a single mom of four very busy boys for three years before marrying my favorite person. Together, we created a blended family of nine children, and our family has continued to grow.

Outside of coaching, I love traveling, dancing, exercising, sports, reading, spending time outdoors, playing tennis and getting lunch with friends.

But probably my favorite thing is spending time with the people I love.

Let’s Talk!

You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out.

I’d love to hear your story, answer your questions and see if we’re a good fit to work together.
