Along with working with clients confronted with conflicted relationships and the potential for divorce, my major areas of clinical focus include infidelity, domestic violence, sexual abuse, parenting issues, empty-nest syndrome and life cycle changes, often resulting in symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD.
Have past therapies not worked and are you back to dealing with the same patterns that cause you to feel disconnected? Using the modalities of Relational Life Therapy (Terry Real) and the Enneagram, a typology tool, I help you deal with those parts of you that don't want to do the skills you have learned in other therapies. As a relationship specialist, my approach is compassionate and honest with the intention of helping you gain mindful self-awareness of those tendencies that keep you stuck with the goal of guiding you towards a more fulfilling life of connection, acceptance, and love.

You’ve hit the wall. You can’t do any more, can’t manage your stress and can’t imagine struggling like this for the rest of your life. Things are so unpleasant and uncomfortable that you know you need help, but don’t know where to look or who can provide what you need. You can’t go back to when you were happier, and you can’t move forward like this. You need someone who is going to understand your concerns and can objectively and reassuringly help you feel better.

I have always gained great satisfaction from helping people feel happier and in learning more effective ways to achieve more fulfilling lives. Those clients who are eager and open to learning more about themselves in order to achieve these goals benefit most from my approach as a therapist. I often focus, therefore, on insight, meaning, and symbols (including dream interpretation)in order to help clients establish a more positive and accepting perspective of themselves and others. In therapy, I work with obstacles against achieving these goals that include anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and interpersonal and relationship issues.

I specialize in the really hard stuff life throws our way. I work with adults, college students, and teens affected by grief and loss, complex trauma (abuse and neglect) and PTSD, serious and chronic health conditions (like cancer, ALS, MS, MD), disability, and other big life changes and challenges resulting in depression and anxiety. I believe that our inability to control what happens to us is not something to be overcome. Instead, it is the reality of life that we all live within. This is where the real work of being a person begins. And this is where good, meaningful, compassionate therapy comes in. I'm glad you're here.

I believe that therapy can be effective in helping those that suffer from addiction. I have worked in in detox, outpatient and residential treatment. I retired as the Director of Farrell Treatment Center in July of 2023, to concentrate on my private practice. Addiction does not exist in a vacuum. Recognizing and treating other problems, trauma, anxiety and depression, and the relationship between those problems and addiction, is necessary for successful treatment. I am extensively trained in trauma therapies, including Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I use individual and group therapy.

You're someone others rely on — capable and accomplished — but internally stuck in patterns you can't fully explain. Or perhaps you're a woman who feels hijacked by her own hormones, reactive and unlike herself in ways she can't control. Or a parent watching your teenager disappear into a digital world that leaves them anxious, depleted, and disconnected from what actually matters.
Many of my clients have tried prior therapy and still feel something isn't shifting. That is exactly where this work begins.

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.
