My Professional Journey

I believe my work as a relationship coach is enriched by a unique blend of personal and professional insights.

 

With a background as both a physician and a relationship coach, along with a master's degree in Psychology, I bring a deep understanding of human behavior and relational dynamics into my coaching practice.

 

This combination of expertise allows me to support my clients in both the emotional and practical aspects of building healthier relationships.

​

Personal Experiences that Shape my Work

As a queer woman in recovery from addiction, I’ve experienced a long and transformative journey of self-discovery.

 

My own healing process involved working through childhood trauma, complex family dynamics, grief, loss, and understanding my own neurodiversity.

 

These personal experiences allow me to connect authentically with clients and offer an empathetic approach that’s grounded in real-life challenges and triumphs.

  

From Addiction to Recovery

My addiction journey began as a response to feelings of overstimulation and stress, which led me to a place where I felt disconnected from both myself and those I loved.

 

However, the "gift of desperation" led me to seek support, and through years of recovery, including Alcoholics Anonymous and individual coaching, I regained my sense of self.

 

I discovered that addiction not only affects the individual but also deeply impacts relationships.

 

This realization solidified my belief that healthy relationships can be the foundation for healing. I am passionate about helping others experience this same transformation in their own lives.​

Relationship Coaching for Couples ❤️

​

Coaching couples is about more than resolving conflict; it's about helping partners build a solid foundation of connection, communication, and trust.

 

I focus on empowering couples to address emotional distance, betrayal, and the unique challenges that can arise from addiction.

 

With empathy and practical tools, I help couples find their way back to each other, rebuild trust, and cultivate a healthier relationship that fosters individual and shared growth.

Supporting Couples Facing Addiction 💔

​

Addiction can introduce deep emotional rifts into a relationship, leaving partners feeling isolated and mistrustful.

 

In my relationship coaching work with couples impacted by addiction, I focus on helping them rebuild trust and create a safe, open environment where both partners can heal and grow.

​

Substance Use Addiction

Substance use addiction, whether it’s alcohol or drugs, can cause significant damage to a relationship, often leading to breakdowns in communication, emotional disconnection, and a loss of trust.

 

In my coaching practice, I help couples understand how addiction has affected both their relationship and individual well-being.

 

It’s important to acknowledge the role substance use plays in creating emotional distance, and I guide couples through the process of rebuilding trust and reconnecting.

​

I support couples by facilitating honest conversations around accountability, forgiveness, and healing. By addressing the underlying issues contributing to substance use, partners can work toward repairing the emotional bonds that have been frayed or broken.

 

My approach helps both partners find ways to heal individually while coming together to create a stronger, healthier relationship that moves beyond the destructive patterns of addiction.

​

Sex Addiction

Sex addiction can cause deep wounds in relationships, often leading to betrayal, secrecy, and a profound sense of broken trust.

 

In my coaching work with couples affected by sex addiction, I emphasize the importance of understanding the emotional impact that these behaviors have on both the acting-out partner and the betrayed partner.

 

I help couples navigate this sensitive terrain with compassion, creating a safe space where both partners can explore their feelings and begin the healing process.

​

The emotional and relational damage caused by sex addiction often requires careful, structured work to rebuild trust.

 

I guide the acting-out partner in taking responsibility for their behaviors while helping the hurt partner work through feelings of betrayal and loss.

 

Through open communication, setting healthy boundaries, and creating accountability, I assist couples in creating a path toward healing and rebuilding their relationship on a foundation of trust and mutual respect.

 

Individual Support: The Acting-Out Partner & The Betrayed Partner 🧠

​

In addition to coaching couples together, I offer individual support for both the acting-out partner and the partner who has been hurt by addiction.

 

Individual coaching allows each partner to explore their own needs and emotions in a safe, nonjudgmental space.

​

The Acting-Out Partner

For the acting-out partner, whether they struggle with substance use or sex addiction, individual coaching is an opportunity to unpack the underlying emotions and triggers that have contributed to their behaviors.

 

I help these partners develop emotional awareness, accountability, and healthier coping mechanisms, while also guiding them toward rebuilding self-worth.

 

Through our work, they can better understand how their actions have impacted their relationship and take meaningful steps toward personal and relational healing.

​

The Betrayed Partner

For the betrayed partner, individual coaching offers a safe space to process the pain, betrayal, and emotional fallout that addiction has caused.

 

I work with hurt partners to help them rebuild their sense of self, establish healthy boundaries, and navigate their healing journey.

 

It’s important for them to find their voice and regain a sense of empowerment, whether they decide to continue the relationship or seek personal closure.

 

My goal is to support their healing process so they can move forward with clarity and strength.
