In 2000, Kim earned her Master’s in Counseling from Regent University. After marrying, she dedicated herself to raising and homeschooling her four children, while also creating and leading ministries that supported women and mothers in her community.

​

But in 2016, Kim’s life took an unexpected turn that redirected everything she thought she knew about marriage, faith, and purpose. Out of her own experience of heartbreak and healing, she felt called to create CoachingHope4U, LLC—a space to educate, empower, and inspire partners navigating the devastation of intimate betrayal.

​

Driven by both compassion and clinical skill, Kim pushed through her own trauma and grief to pursue specialized, trauma-informed training. She earned her Board Certified Life Coach (BCC) credential, completed A Doorway of Hope (ADOH) facilitator training for betrayed partners, and became certified through the Association for Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS). She has also trained in Brainspotting and holds certification in the Early Recovery Couples Empathy Model (ERCEM).

​

Kim has had the privilege of training directly under Dr. Barb Steffens and Dr. Omar Minwalla, and is a member of C-SASI (Christian Sex Addicts Specialists International) and a board member of ADOH.

​

Her background also includes extensive collaboration with attorneys in high-conflict divorce cases, giving her a rare ability to combine trauma recovery principles with practical court and mediation experience.

​

In addition to CoachingHope4U, Kim founded the blog and nonprofit Not a Casserole Widow®, created to give divorcing partners a voice and a community of understanding.

​

Kim’s ERCEM work reinforces her belief that couples can recover from problematic sexual behavior when empathy and accountability become the foundation of healing. She has witnessed powerful transformation when both partners commit to growth, honesty, and compassion.

​

Still, Kim recognizes that not every marriage can—or should—be saved. Whether reconciliation or release becomes the next chapter, her mission remains the same: to help women rebuild self-confidence, rediscover their worth, and reignite joy as they move forward.

​

Because betrayal can leave you feeling isolated and unseen, Kim’s message is simple yet powerful:
“You’re not alone—and you’ve found a safe place.”
