With care and respect for each family’s journey, we wanted to share a resource that may be supportive for some wives during this season.

Lisa Archinal is a trauma-informed coach who works specifically with women healing from betrayal trauma. Her work focuses on emotional stabilization, navigating trauma triggers, preparation for disclosure, and helping women rebuild safety, clarity, and self-trust after discovery.

Lisa is APSATS-trained and works under the clinical supervision of Dr. Jake Porter, integrating best practices for betrayal trauma recovery. She brings both professional training and lived understanding to her work.
