Life is a journey that can be difficult to navigate at times. The journey may feel like a safe and familiar path; and other times, a winding and dizzying trail. Circumstances in life can take you out of your "normal" and cause you to feel anxious, uneasy, and scared. Yet it is during these times that the greatest potential for growth and change tend to occur.

You may be the person everyone relies on who keeps moving forward despite feeling exhausted inside. Perhaps you've spent years putting others first, struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, relationship challenges, unresolved trauma, or a constant feeling that you're never quite enough. Many of my clients are successful on the outside, yet feel disconnected and stuck in patterns they can't seem to break. Together, we'll uncover what's keeping you stuck, heal old wounds, and help you reconnect with the person you were before life taught you to doubt yourself.

I believe that one of the most important factors for successful therapy is the "fit" between therapist and client. I have been told by some of my clients that they like my direct style, interactive manner, and the feeling of being heard and seen. They like my Russian proverbs and humor. In both individual and couples therapy, I strive to bring out the best, wisest, kindest, flexible, most functioning adult parts of my clients to the surface. Through therapy, my clients get insight, make better choices and enjoy feeling more in charge of their lives.

Hello, I’m Sarah, a CA LPCC who comes to this career through an intuitive seeking of truly understanding and embodying what it means to be “healed” on an emotional, psychological, and physical level. This journey of introspection began when I was 17, am now 53, continuing to refine and integrate what connects the body and mind vs what separates. It is my conceptualization that separation from self, fragmentations from the whole, is the root cause of dis-ease in body and mind, and by identifying these specific fragments, aka causes of suffering, there is an opportunity for true, lasting, restorative healing.

Life can be complicated and confusing, as an individual or a couple. Making room for joy, for satisfaction – for even a deep breath – can get pushed aside amid the demands of children, parents, school, work, and the flood of world news. You may be struggling with desired changes, such as parenthood or going away to college, or with the loss of a loved one or a long-term way of living. You may have experienced a traumatic event, or be concerned with emotional eating. Or maybe you just feel that something isn’t quite right, even though life looks fine on the surface.

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.
