I help women who have been affected by their partner’s secret sexual behavior.
I’m here for you, the betrayed partner.
Every shattered trust tells a story, and your story deserves to be heard and held and given space to unfold. You’re not alone in your pain. If you can find the grit to step out of the shadows of betrayal and into the light recovery work provides, you can, and will, heal.
Sweet sister, I’m so sorry. I know it’s not what you signed up for and it’s unfair. Also, I get it—not just because I’ve taken a boat-load of courses over the years, but because I have been there—in these ugly, lonely trenches, longing for answers to questions I didn’t want to have.
Finding a way to heal that actually worked for me felt utterly impossible and deeply isolating. Sleepless nights, forgetting and losing things, and the emotions—so erratic (“I never want to see your face again, but first promise you’ll never let me go”), and often irrational (“I want to show up at her house with a dozen black roses”…anyone?)—and very normal.
It’s just plain tough for everyone—family and friends included. Even though they love me and were there for me, they couldn’t know how being blindsided by betrayal was impacting me, and I couldn’t find the words to tell them. It’s personal, it’s messy, and suddenly everything I thought was true and everyone I thought I knew was in question. This weight is heavy, and the work of healing and transforming is a process that, unfortunately, cannot be hurried or put off until it fits in the schedule. You want immediate direction, connection, and a calm, knowing voice—you need someone to help sort out the tangled mess and simplify your path.

“Jodie entered my life at just the right time; her support was the extra push I needed to move forward with some work that I was struggling to turn towards. Jodie was readily available in some of my hardest moments and helped me take responsibility for my own healing and recovery. She puts her heart into this work and went above and beyond to guide and support me. “

“Perfect timing! Your welcoming and calming presence created a safe space for me to let go and finally feel what I had stuffed for several years. Not only that, the resources and information you have are amazing and so helpful. What set you apart was what I needed most—you’d been in my shoes and understood what was too hard for me to explain. I’m forever grateful to have met and worked with you.”

“The very first time I talked with Jodie, I felt at ease. She met me in our conversation with thoughtful questions and encouragement that helped me to process next steps in my healing journey. From there, she remained consistent and driven to move me forward...She is a soft place to land, but with the grit to help women do the work it takes to get back to the best possible version of themselves.”

“Oh my gosh—Jodie is so good at seeing what isn’t said and drawing out what I didn’t even know was in me! I was confused, in shock, so absent-minded and often wondering if this reality would ever change. Jodie helped me find clarity, taught me tools to manage my triggers, and is still working with me to keep me accountable to my Post Traumatic Growth plan. Don’t second guess it if you have an opportunity to work with her!”

“It's not everywhere you'll find someone to enter into the hard with you and care about your story or your desire for restoration in relationship. Jodie cares. And her heart is for a better story for her clients, which is such a gift to those who have the privilege of working with her. “

It can sure feel that way, so I created a helpful little “cheat sheet “ (too soon?🫣) to get you acquainted with terms you’ll be hearing a lot of in the recovery world.

Are you and your partner trying to save your marriage?
“A Therapeutic Full Disclosure is the only thing I’ve come across that offers the opportunity to begin again together. Until there is a foundation of complete transparency and truth, trying to rebuild your relationship is like walking a mine field—you’ll continue your journey, but with each step you’ll wonder when the next blast will come…”
We’ll discuss what a Therapeutic Full Disclosure is and explore the exact next steps you can take toward your healing. This process requires that the acting out partner is working with, or willing to work with, a separate therapist or coach experienced with the TFD process. Releases must be signed for coach | therapist communication. If you need referrals, I can help connect you with resources.

MINDFULNESS MATTERS
In the wake of betrayal, especially infidelity, the mind becomes a battleground. Thoughts race uncontrollably—replaying the discovery, analyzing every detail, wrestling with questions that have no clear answers. In this storm, mindfulness offers a refuge.
