I work with individuals who are struggling with issues that interfere with their overall life satisfaction and level of happiness. My basic optimism that people can change drives my practice philosophy. I recognize that there are motivational factors that interfere with people's readiness for change and therefore see myself as a change agent to help the individuals I work with to become ready and then able to make changes in terms of coping skills, relationship skills, managing mood instability, substance issues, eating disorders and other compulsive behaviors. My years of practice experience and training have prepared me to offer skilled interventions and expertise.

"One size seldom fits all" and the same is true with therapists. Finding a therapist that connects with you and understands your needs is the foundation of your journey for change. Life can get complicated, but working together, we can explore the problems and work toward solutions in a warm, supportive, confidential and most important a nonjudgemental atmosphere. Since one size seldom fits all, I use a variety of behavioral approaches to create a shift in my clients' self awareness.

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.
