I will be offering periodic updates. I hope that this will be helpful to you and familiarize you with my thinking. For divorcing parents: Make sure your children know you are divorcing each other and not them. Be dependable - visit when you say you will. Keep your children out of the middle - argue in private. Take your time introducing someone new or living with someone. When possible maintain connections with extended family. Work on yourself so you are the best parent you can be. Children take time to adjust. There may be a delay before they discover feelings about the divorce.

Understanding and making meaning of experiences is important to heal and move forward in life. There are times when we all feel off balance, unfocused, afraid, and alone.

I take an active approach to therapy, helping clients to identify values, goals, and changes to make them feel fulfilled.

Seeking therapy or counseling can be overwhelming. But reaching out for support in life can also lead to positive change. Counseling is essentially geared towards reducing your symptoms of distress while building your capability to handle life's inevitable demands and anxieties. No one can change what they have experienced in the past nor change things out of their control. However, every individual can work towards a better understanding of themselves while learning coping strategies for managing challenge and change.
