Divorce Therapists in Colorado Springs, CO
I have experience helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, relationship issues, high conflict divorce, parenting, and family conflicts.
Using this as a foundation, we can build an environment free from judgment and negativity in which personal and relational healing may begin. I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective, meaning thoughts and beliefs that are interfering with functioning need to be addressed and appropriately changed for better mental health.

I've personally experienced marriage, divorce, single parenting, remarriage, and stepfamilies.
All of us face challenging events in our lives, and at times need assistance in finding new insights, new perspectives, and new tools to live a satisfying life. When the stories of our lives no longer meet our needs - it is time for each of us to write a new story leveraging the assistance of a trusted counselor.

My therapeutic philosophy begins with cultivating safety and trust within the client/counselor relationship. I truly believe that it is vital to build a strong foundation. I believe that is important because, as a therapist, I understand that I am entering your private world. This is a deep and sacred trust. It is important to me that my clients know that whether or not that trust has been violated by others in the past, I will create a sanctuary in which those hurts that have created trauma, anxiety, depression, etc., can be explored, understood and, as we face that pain together, we can find healing and restoration.

Are you going through a divorce, life changes, or feeling lonely and disconnected?
The first few sessions will focus on gathering background information, building a strong therapeutic relationship, and collaboratively setting goals. Each person comes to therapy with their own preferences, needs, and hopes and I make space for these to be shared and revisited throughout the process while inviting feedback on how you feel things are going.

You and your partner sit silently on the sofa. The TV is on, & you're both looking at your phones. Though in the same room, you might as well be a world apart. You're feeling neglected, unappreciated, & lonely. There's little affection between you these days. You try to focus on all the positives in your life, but your unhappiness is becoming the elephant in the room - harder and harder to ignore. You long to feel desired, appreciated, & a priority in your partner's life. You're afraid to talk to your partner about your true feelings as conversations are often misunderstood or full of conflict. You don't know where to turn.

High-achievers are often the point person at home, work, and with friends because they get things done. But all the doing, people-pleasing, and overthinking can leave you feeling drained. If you're ready to feel relief, sleep through the night, and take care of yourself without guilt, we would be a good fit. I work collaboratively with clients to identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. We set clear, achievable goals and create actionable steps towards achieving them. My ultimate aim is to help my clients connect with their core values and live a balanced, fulfilling life that aligns with their true selves.

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.
