    As a trained counselling Coach, I’ve been involved in Sex Education in schools and religious communities for over 25 years.   I found myself gravitating towards the serious issue of pornography and the compulsive behaviour associated with it, amongst teens.  In my counselling I began to see partners traumatised by their sex/porn addicted partners and so my Counseling of the past 6 years has become specialised in Betrayal Trauma.   I am an APSATS U.S.A candidate (Association of Partners of Sex Addiction Trauma Specialists) and am also a long standing affiliate of the  ACRP (Association of Christian Religious Practitioners) CPSC Council for Pastoral and Spiritual Counsellors. I am also trained in Trauma Incident Reduction.  I facilitate groups for betrayed partners.  Contact me for more information.

    I am a wife and a mother as well as a successful business owner and a recovering betrayed partner. I have been on a journey of healing from the trauma of betrayal and I am passionate about helping and educating the spouses and partners of sex and pornography addicts. It is my hope that in speaking out about my experience I can offer hope to those who feel they are trapped in a hopeless situation. There are so many broken people out there who feel hurt and alone and it is my heart’s desire for you to know that there is a community who understands and knows. Each story is unique but we can walk this journey beside you.
    I have walked this road with my husband as we have each had to heal and ask for help, and in that healing we have found hope and a future. It is my earnest prayer that you will reach out and find support and a community so that you can see the light in the darkness
