I am so glad you have decided to get some information about infidelity and affairs and possibly enlist the help of a professional coach to guide you through what is likely to be a very difficult and challenging time in your life. Although infidelity can be quite frightening and unsettling, for everyone touched by the affair, it can also lead to life-changing personal insights and growth.

Like my colleagues, Bob and Jennifer, I bring to this site a great wealth of professional and personal experience working with individuals and couples in relationship crisis. My work with couples began in 1977 as a psychotherapist and continued for the next 30 years as an attorney, mediator and life coach. Yes, I am of that “Boomer” generation that can now add wisdom based on experience and “years on the planet” to my list of credentials!

I, too, have personal experience with infidelity and from that experience I KNOW it is possible to grow and heal the wounds of self that contributed to and resulted from the state of marital infidelity. I believe strongly in the power of the human psyche and soul to heal and recover from difficult situations, and I indeed believe healing is a natural and essential process of the human spirit.

I believe it is possible to move through and move beyond relational crisis in a manner that restores, preserves and builds personal integrity.

It may hurt now, but it doesn’t have to hurt forever. Through our hurts and wounds, and subsequent recovery, we come to know our true nature and our great capacity to heal.

A Little Personal Background

I am the middle child of three grown and adult daughters of an Air Force family.

I spent my childhood years growing up in Savannah, Georgia; Shreveport, Louisiana; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Goose Bay, Labrador, Canada.

I was married for 22 years, have two grown and wonderful sons, and have been divorced almost 9 years.

I lived in Tokyo, Japan, for just under three years back in the late 80’s and early 90’s, and have traveled extensively both in this country and abroad. I lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico for about a year and a half recently, enjoying something of a “sabbatical,” studying and enjoying Native American culture and spirituality, the healing arts, the geography, the cuisine and all that New Mexico has to offer.

I make my home now in a delightful resort and artist community in Michigan, enjoying the beauty and seasonal renewal of this part of the United States.

My personal interests revolve around nature, art and spirituality. I am an eager and avid student of metaphysics, quantum physics, personal growth, holistic health, yoga, and change. I write, dance, hike, ski, kayak, and promote the arts. In addition to professional life coaching, I represent professional artists and market art as a powerful tool in healing, inspiring and activating the power and potential contained within our psyches and our souls.

Please feel free to contact me for coaching. I would enjoy hearing from you.
