I have helped many people in recovery from stress, the "blues", addictive/compulsive behaviors, substance abuse, mid life transition, divorce, and divorce transition, coparenting in single and blended families.
Seeking Change? I want to welcome you to what might be one of the most important steps in your life. People come to therapy with a problem to which they cannot find a solution. Often it is how the problem is being defined that does not allow a solution. It is then the task of the therapist to help you redefine the problem so you can arrive at workable solutions. Successful therapy helps you move forward with what we can call a new and better "normal".

Safety is the essence of therapy. My interactive approach focuses on the unique requirements each person needs to feel safe to recover their authentic sense of self which had to be set aside in order to not feel alone. It offers relief from unreasonable beliefs about hurting others. This also allows me to calibrate when treatment is progressing and how to keep it on track. Those who feel stuck in unsatisfying relationships or careers, have difficult family relationships, procrastinate, are indecisive, doubt their talents, think they are an imposter and who protect others at their own expense will find this therapy helpful.

Something has gone wrong between you, and you don't know how to fix it. Couples therapy hasn't helped, or you've never tried it because nothing you've read has sounded like you. The same fight keeps happening. One of you has gone cold or walled off. One of you can't stop pursuing. You love each other, you're longing for a happy partnership, and you're exhausted and don't know how much longer you can keep doing this. People come to this work disconnected, and leave knowing how to find each other again. My clients are not just surviving the hard moments, but actually wanting to be together. That's what's possible here.

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.
