I work predominately with issues as marital conflict, parenting, depression,anger management, ADHD, substance abuse, adolescent behavior problems and supporting dads of divorce.
As a marriage and family therapist, I am uniquely trained to identify, track and break patterns between couples & families in conflict. I work toward helping individuals,couples and families take an active role in creating the kind of change they desire. Marriages are not meant to merely SURVIVE, but rather to THRIVE. In couples counseling I help parties develop greater insight into their relationship and maintain a mindfulness toward its growth. Through focusing on action steps, I actively challenge individuals and couples to take accountability for their own thoughts and behavior as opposed to assessing their partner's.

Along with working with clients confronted with conflicted relationships and the potential for divorce, my major areas of clinical focus include infidelity, domestic violence, sexual abuse, parenting issues, empty-nest syndrome and life cycle changes, often resulting in symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD.
Have past therapies not worked and are you back to dealing with the same patterns that cause you to feel disconnected? Using the modalities of Relational Life Therapy (Terry Real) and the Enneagram, a typology tool, I help you deal with those parts of you that don't want to do the skills you have learned in other therapies. As a relationship specialist, my approach is compassionate and honest with the intention of helping you gain mindful self-awareness of those tendencies that keep you stuck with the goal of guiding you towards a more fulfilling life of connection, acceptance, and love.
This is an opportunity for women who have been through, or are currently going through a divorce or ending of an unhealthy relationship, to meet and support each other. Each week I bring a topic related to recovering mind, body and spirit to the group and group members support each other in reaching mental and physical health goals. The group meets every other Saturday at 8:30 am for one hour. Divorce can be isolating, this is a great opportunity to be reminded that you are not alone in your journey!

Divorce Support Groups
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
