Everyone faces challenges along the journey of life. My job is to help you navigate those challenges. It is not easy to ask for help and I believe it is courageous to "feel the fear and do it anyway" rather than to suffer silently. My style is collaborative and conversational with practical, effective tools to empower you to grow and heal through whatever challenge prompts you into either individual or couples counseling. Common themes may be codependency, relationship struggles, divorce and rebuilding your life, a need for self-care and spiritual connection, and/or a desire to speak your truth and live a more authentic life.

Most couples have many strengths that are overshadowed by daily or recurring arguments. Some may also be stuck re-living old wounds that have never healed. A good therapist helps clients access strengths, address past events if desired, and examine potential solutions. I help clients work to free themselves of dynamics that are hurting their ability to live in a fulfilling relationship. My work focuses on couples, families and individuals who are struggling with relationship issues. I offer a discount for military couples, military families as well as veterans.

As a clinician I believe one can decide if an issue requires immediate action and change or if it can-or must-be accepted for what it is while they learn to make behavioral changes that can positively affect their situation. I work with my clients to start the healing process through their own self-talk, or the way they talk about traumatic events, problematic relationships, toxic behaviors, physical limitations or other issues. I work with my clients, as a team, to stop repeating thought patterns and behaviors that are contributing to negative, hurtful, and self-defeating issues.

There are so many issues that can get us stuck, causing us to live our lives on repeat and increasing our distress. Exploring our family systems, telling our stories, asking curious and kind questions, and processing our pain can help us find a new path forward. To me, therapy is not about fixing ourselves.

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.
