As a Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS), I work with children of all ages (0-18 years) & their families to provide various developmental supports from teaching emotional regulation & coping skills, to preparing for school or a medical/dental procedure, to coping with illness, loss, or traumatic medical experiences. Regardless of the specific challenge that leads a child or family to me, I strive to help them feel seen, known, & cared for. In collaboration with parents, we will create goals to help cope with the identified challenge (emotions, school, peers, trauma, divorce, grief/loss, upcoming event/procedure, diagnosis, etc.).

I believe every client has the potential to find happiness. My role in your life will be to help guide you through goal-setting and daily mindfulness. Clients are encouraged to set the tone each session by talking about what they choose to disclose as our therapeutic relationship grows. I have a special interest in grief counseling as it not only pertains to losing a loved one, but also to losing a partner through divorce or break-up, or grieving the loss of an ability (physical or neurological). The loss of a pet is also something I have experience with.

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.
