Choosing Connection
Let us help you navigate the deep waters of betrayal trauma and sex addiction
At Genesis Connection, our goal is to help the betrayed heal, help the betrayer work toward freedom from sexual addiction, and then to help you heal as a couple. We want to help you navigate through the rough waters of sexual betrayal.
God created people for connection and when that connection is broken due to infidelity, it causes a devastating fracture in the relationship. Whether the infidelity betrayal was due to porn use, affairs, or any other unwanted sexual behavior, the damage to the relationship is extreme.

Betrayal trauma coach
Pure Desire Group Leader
As a person who has experienced sexual betrayal myself, I can understand, validate, and support partners experiencing betrayal trauma.
In June of 2006, my world imploded. I had just found out about the unfaithfulness of my husband of 18 years. I found out he had been unfaithful to me the entirety of our marriage. My reality was no longer my reality. I honestly did not know what my reality was anymore.
Because there was not a lot of help back then, I was incorrectly advised by spiritual advisors that if I remained calm and let my husband confess all that he had done, he would then be free, I could then work on the forgiveness part and we could then just move on with our lives.
However, this did not end up being the case. In November of 2018, I received another big D-day from him. If you are unaware, D-day stands for Discovery or Disclosure Day, when you find out your primary attachment partner (your spouse) has been unfaithful to you. This time, I discovered even more information. The rabbit hole was even deeper than I thought, I found out my husband was a sex addict. This new information sent me spiraling down into depression. I literally had no hope. I could not see how I could get past this. Not only could I not see how I could ever trust my husband again, but it made me not be able to trust anyone, including myself.
If the person who was supposed to love me the most and have my back, could do this to me, how could I trust anyone else? I was also met with the question of how I could trust myself if I didn’t even know he was doing this. How could I be such a fool? If this was not bad enough, the shame that goes along with this type of addiction makes you want to hide from everyone. You are then left alone in misery and shame. This is not to mention the fact that because this is an addiction, it just doesn’t go away that easily or quickly. It can seem completely hopeless when you mix this with other relationship conflicts and the realization of lies, deception, gaslighting, blame-shifting, and manipulation throughout your marriage.
I can now honestly say that God has done an amazing work in me to help me heal from all this. I am now experiencing post-traumatic growth where I can now see it as beneficial to my life. I have gone from disempowered to empowered. Does that make me happy that I had to go through all this, I would emphatically say NO! However, by God’s grace he can use what the enemy sought to use to destroy my life to help others navigate through the deep waters of betrayal. This is why I became a coach. Since God does not waste the difficulties in our lives I consider it a blessing to be a vessel for Him to help others.
As a trained professional, I can do just that! I have spent many hours in training to help other ladies like myself. I have been trained to be a certified coach who specializes in Betrayal trauma. I have obtained APSATS training in order to coach my clients from a trauma perspective rather than as a codependent. I am trained to help you go through a full therapeutic disclosure. I have also been trained to be a betrayal trauma peer facilitator through A Door of Hope. I hope you will let me help you get through the darkest and hardest days of your life.

It is with great expectation that my story will offer hope to men who are faced with overcoming compulsive unwanted sexual behaviors and in dealing with the betrayal trauma these actions have almost certainly caused in the relationships they care about.
I can share the hard life lessons I have learned to help you overcome your struggles and create the relational intimacy that God designed for marriage and family.
I am well acquainted with the confrontations men encounter regarding their emotional health and in dealing with sexual compulsivity. Statistics demonstrate that there are multitudes of men struggling with acting out in unwanted sexual behaviors. I use the lessons I’ve learned through experiences in these areas to help you navigate the deep waters of relational trauma. It is my prayer that God would use me to help shed light on a godly healing process that has worked for me and countless individuals struggling in these same areas. I promise to create a safe, non-judgmental place of openness and honesty for you to feel secure and to be free to delve into the feelings and thought patterns that have led you down the long agonizing road of brokenness you now find yourself in. I can help you uncover truths about yourself that, with God’s help, will result in overcoming unwanted compulsive sexual behaviors.
I have a life story of tragic experience that I hope to use to turn for good that which the enemy meant for destruction. I am well acquainted with the enormous pain and suffering that deception and addiction brings into relationships. I want you to find the path to recovery that I found, out of the darkness of deception and isolation and into the light of openness and honesty. I use one-on-one coaching sessions and group training to help my clients identify the root causes of the unwanted decisions they routinely make. With sound insights I help them develop healthy coping mechanisms. Doing the deep work, they learn to recognize how their past unpleasant history may be impacting their judgement today. I am confident that I can help you to see that there is hope in transforming your mind and in building/repairing the loving relationships you care so deeply about. I look forward to working with you soon!
