At Integrity Disclosures Coaching, I help individuals and couples rebuild trust and connection after betrayal from sex addiction through trauma-informed, empathy-based coaching using the ERCEM Model (Early Recovery Couples Empathy Model) and APSATS Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model. Both models emphasize the betrayed partners safety first, as well as transparency into the addicts recovery. ERCEM also teaches healthy communication for the couple and focuses on teaching empathy for the addict.
Drawing on over a decade of personal and professional recovery work, including years of 12-Step sponsorship and guidance from Carol Juergensen Sheets (“Help. Her. Heal.”, "Help. Them. Heal."), I bring both lived understanding and structured support to this process. My approach is compassionate yet accountable—focused on emotional safety, clarity, and practical tools for lasting change.
As a certified, insured, and ICF-aligned professional coach, I maintain ethical standards of confidentiality, scope of practice, and client safety. This ensures that every coaching process is conducted responsibly and with the highest regard for your emotional well-being.
Whether you’re the betrayed partner seeking validation and safety, or the partner learning to rebuild empathy and accountability, this guided framework offers a clear path toward understanding, integrity, and repair. - Coach Steve
