It takes a lot of strength to honestly assess your current situation, to confront certain truths, and to commit to making needed changes in your life. If you are ready to start making those changes, you may be wondering what to expect in the therapeutic process. In a supportive alliance with you, and after you identify your goals, we will map out a strategy to address your concerns, work to increase your self-awareness, and focus on developing greater personal insight and behavioral change. The outcome depends largely on commitment while silencing the harsh internal critic that many people have.

Welcome. If you’re feeling anxious, emotionally stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or simply longing for more meaning and depth in life, you’re not alone. I work with thoughtful adults, professionals, creatives, and LGBTQ+ clients navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship struggles, identity questions, grief, and major life transitions. Many of my clients appear high-functioning on the outside while quietly carrying stress, loneliness, self-doubt, or a sense that something important in life has gone missing. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself more honestly.

Welcome, my practice is tailored for the active adult, the one that needs help, but has no time for it. I practice on weekends, nights, and early mornings if needed to fit your busy schedule. I also believe that we can overcome trauma, past struggles, and relational disconnections. We can find a way to cope and thrive, but sometimes this means choosing success, which takes work and internal reflection. I approach therapy from a Humanistic and Solution Focused perspective, believing the client is the expert on their life.

If you’ve found your way here, you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, or disconnected from who you are and how you want to live your life. Perhaps your child is withdrawing, acting out, or struggling to trust. Maybe you’re an adult who loses themselves in relationships, looks to others to feel okay, or has lost touch with who you really are. You may be navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, or a major life transition and wondering how you ended up here. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you’ve been carrying, and begin finding your way back to yourself.

Divorce Therapists
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.
