I have experience providing individual counseling, family counseling, career counseling, and assisting people with adjusting to life changes such as illness and divorce.
Don't give up on healing. When people experience trauma, especially chronic trauma, they become hardwired to look for danger. Constantly living in survival mode is physically, mentally, and spiritually exhausting. You may not believe it yet but healing is possible. You can have healthy relationships. You can have peace. You can have healthy boundaries. I would like to help you learn how to actually live and not just survive. I specialize in helping women learn about how trauma affects their bodies which will allow them to better recognize and manage their trauma symptoms and move towards a path of healing.

I worked on a Stanford University inpatient child/adolescent psychiatry unit for 10 years and treated children, adolescents and families who presented with depression, anxiety disorders, trauma, divorce, parent/child conflicts, attachment issues, sexual orientation and identity disorders etc Currently, I treat adolescents , individuals (all ages) and couples.
People arrive at a therapist's office, having tried their best way of getting along in the world, regardless of age, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and so forth. A universal reason for seeking help is distress in a primary relationship. In therapy, I help individuals understand how past relationships with parents, siblings and significant others impacts relationship troubles in the here and now. A trusting therapeutic relationship offers an opportunity for exploration of one's own mind at the deepest level - healing, new pathways of relating, greater authenticity, vitality & living a life that's true to one's self.

I am passionate about immigrant acculturation, life transitions, LGBTQIA, and women’s issues. Life transitions are challenging. Reentering the workforce, career change, separation, divorce, retirement, and immigration can make us question our identity and/or self-worth. There are physical and emotional pressures as we navigate academic, social, cultural, racial or financial systems outside of our frame of reference. You and I can work together to manage the effects of these transitions.

• Life transitions: relationships, divorce, infertility, adolescence/college, parenting, job loss, illness, end of life, and bereavement.
At some point, we all experience tough times. Coping skills falter, feelings may be intense, and we can’t visualize the way forward. If this is where you find yourself, I can help. My practice focuses on clients navigating periods of distress or unexpected change. If you're dealing with loss, life transition, or simply a “rough patch”, I offer support and guidance. My approach is flexible, welcoming, and compassionate. We sort things through together. You'll find that coping skills improve, emotions become manageable, and you understand yourself better. Most importantly, you’ll gain an increased sense of hope.

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.
