I have been working with at-risk youth since 2004. While earning my BA in Psychology at UCCS, I worked in a residential treatment facility, learning the ropes of being a front line staff. While earning my MA in Clinical Psychology, also at UCCS, I worked with middle school youth at a local school. Following graduation, I returned to residential as a therapist working almost exclusively with sexually abusive youth. I have presented research on this topic and many others across the country and in Canada, and have earned my Full Operating Treatment Provider from the Colorado Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB).

If you are struggling (relationally, socially, emotionally, or vocationally) and need to know that you are OK, you are not alone. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, codependency, ADHD, or relationship issues that keep you from the life you want to live. You may be seeking understanding, validation, and permission to care for yourself. Thinking traps like "I shouldn't feel this way" are common and treatable. Sometimes it takes an outsider to help us recognize thinking patterns that block freedom. My goal is to empower people to make changes needed for a balanced, healthy life.

I have enjoyed working in Colorado Springs as a therapist for the past 20+ years with both individuals and group counseling. We all experience emotional pain, physical pain or a combination of the two at different times in our lives. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to establish a collaborative effort with my clients to modify beliefs, assumptions and behaviors with the goal of solving emotional and behavioral problems. This approach is helpful for children, adolescents and adults. It is used to treat (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, stress related disorders and symptoms related to trauma.

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.
