Specialized, evidence-based support for women healing from sexual betrayal and infidelity — online, worldwide.
One Braver Life is my Thank You and Love Letter to every brave woman who has shared her experience, strength, and her hope with me in my own journey.
I often picture a ladder of women, each one extending a hand to help lift the next up and out of the darkness...
Someone once extended her hand to me when I needed it most. This work is how I extend mine.
MY DEEPEST HOPE IS THAT EVERY WOMAN WHO FINDS HER WAY THROUGH EVENTUALLY TURNS AROUND AND DOES THE SAME FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
What they discover is that they need help saving themselves.
Most women come to me thinking they need to save their relationship.
And that's exactly where we start.
I'm not here to tell you what to do with your relationship. I'm here to help you own your power and take action to get safer, clearer, and more grounded so that whatever you decide, you choose it from a place of clarity rather than crisis.
Your healing matters regardless of what your partner chooses to do.
By the time most women find me, they've already been let down by someone who was supposed to help. A friend who didn't know what to say. A pastor who advised patience. A therapist who wasn't trained in betrayal trauma.
You are not too much. Your anger makes sense and you deserve care that was actually built for this.
I believe you. I don't need you to convince me or explain yourself. I understand this specific kind of pain — the gaslighting, the reality distortion, the shame that was never yours to carry, and I will never ask you to minimize it.
What they find here is different.
This is a shame-free space. And the antidote to shame is exactly what we build together: clarity, empowerment, and the quiet confidence of knowing yourself again.
I am your ally. Not your judge, not your advisor, and not someone with an agenda about what your healing should look like.
We move at your pace, in a way that honors your nervous system, your inner wisdom, and the values you bring to your healing work. Whatever meaning you make of your life, whatever moral compass guides you, whatever you believe or don't believe — none of it needs to be explained or justified here.
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE EXACTLY AS YOU ARE.

When I’m not doing this work you’ll find me…
At home I have two black labs, both former service dogs, a very opinionated seven-pound cat who runs the household, and more houseplants than I will ever admit to.
I've been going to Acadia National Park every summer for over 20 years and I'm convinced there is nowhere better on earth. I hike, I kayak, I camp, and I drag the people I love along for all of it.
I practice transcendental meditation, classical Pilates, and I will have brown hair until I am 90.
I'm learning French, I volunteer as an English tutor for Ukrainians, and I have a serious weakness for Broadway musicals and New York Yankees games.
