We all experience transitions throughout our lives — big and small, planned and unplanned, and some are harder than others. The death of a loved one, loss/change of employment, divorce/problems with relationships (mate, parents, children), or other events. A life transition is any change or adjustment that impacts your life in a significant way. If you find yourself experiencing a high degree of distress during a life transition that is significantly impacting your mood, ability to work, social interactions, or any other important life area and simply don't know what to do next, I'm here to assist you through the process.

I like helping children and adolescents dealing with ADHD, divorce, family and school stress .
I am encouraged by the research that talks about how our brain does not stop growing, and there are things we can do to encourage brain growth such as struggling with new and challenging information. This may be learning to play an instrument or learning to speak a foreign language. This is good news for us intellectually and the same principle applies emotionally. We do have the capacity to grow, and change and learn new ways to think, and I have tools that will help you in this process. I would love to witness your courage in this journey.

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.
