Dot the Coach — her story

Mission Statement

My mission is to walk beside women who have experienced intimate betrayal related to sexual addiction and help them rediscover their strength, identity, and worth beyond what has happened to them. I offer a compassionate coaching space where women can move beyond feelings of powerlessness and being defined by betrayal toward empowerment, self-trust, and transformation, knowing that betrayal does not define who they are.

By reconnecting with themselves first and learning to acknowledge their own growth, women can reclaim their voice, trust themselves again, and create lives that reflect their values, strength, and true identity.

The Day Everything
Changed.

We were married in a storybook wedding. My mom was my wedding planner, my brother was my caterer. It was a perfect beginning to what was to be a perfect marriage...or so I thought.

I found the first stash two months after we were married. I went off. He promised. I believed him. Why shouldn't I? Through the years of repeated discoveries I came to realize this had to be an addiction. There were no books on this then. No professional recognition, much less help around this. There were times when things were good, there were times when it was awful. There were a lot of ups and downs through the years. I didn't have language for any of this and knew nothing of how to become stronger or what healthy boundaries looked like.

Then came early November of 2021. I remember the exact moment I found out. The floor dropped out from under me. Everything I thought I knew...about my relationship, about myself, about what was real...shattered yet again in an instant. I knew my husband had a porn problem but he had repeatedly "promised," and the last "promise" was convincing for years. I so wanted to believe he was sober, he said he was. Through the years I had convinced myself his anger was due to stress from his job.

Somehow though, a part of me knew something wasn't right. The day the floor dropped from underneath me was also the day that all the things that didn't add up before suddenly started to add up. "This is why he reacted that way the other day..." "Now I understand why he was so protective of his devices."

I spent months in the fog that betrayal creates. The "hyper"-vigilance. The sleepless nights. The obsessive replaying. The shame that wasn't mine to carry but felt like it was sticking to me like hot tar. I cried every day for nearly six months.

What I didn't have (and what I desperately needed) was someone who truly understood. Not someone who told me to "just move on." Not someone who minimized what had happened. Someone who could sit in the wreckage with me and say:"I know this place. And I know the way out." But I decided things would be different from this point forward. I found the answers I needed. I found the support I needed. I pulled it together "by scratch".

That's why I became a betrayal recovery coach. I made a choice that betrayal would no longer squash me down and stomp on my heart. I did my own deep healing work; and then I turned around to reach back for every woman still standing in the rubble. The rubble doesn't define you, and you don't have to stay there.

In 2025 I became a certified relationship coach through the IAPCC. I am currently working towards an ICF Certification as a trauma informed coach. As of June 2026 I am taking new clients while I am finishing school and accruing hours towards my certification.

What is Trauma Informed Coaching?

Trauma informed coaching occurs when the coach comprehensively understands trauma, how it manifests during sessions, and the appropriate ways to respond within the established coaching boundaries and contractual agreements. This approach ensures that the coach is equipped to recognize the signs of trauma and its impact on the client's behavior and responses. The coach creates a safe and supportive environment that fosters trust and healing by being mindful of these aspects. Trauma informed coaching emphasizes the client's emotional and psychological well-being, promoting resilience and empowerment while adhering to ethical guidelines and respecting the client's experiences and strength.
