I see teens and adults with stress, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideations, personality disorders, experiencing divorce /separation, childhood trauma and abuse.
If you've felt weighed down, stuck, empty, suffering, low energy, locked in a pattern, unsure of yourself, without meaning, or alone then the chances are you're searching for a new way of being. We've all been feeling some form of these at some point, or many points in our lives. Odds are, it all makes sense as to why. If you've suffered from some form of trauma like many of us have, you'll be relieved to know that there are ways to understand these unconscious patterns in your life that honor your journey and bring out your awareness of your truest strengths and brilliance where you'll be empowered as you heal and grow.

These days people have more difficulties to face and fewer resources to assist in making sense of what is going on around them. Depression, anxiety, and addiction are all on the rise, which effect one's career, family life, and relationships. Constant demands of modern life often clouds the dreams and aspirations we once had. Our personal goals are hindered by our own demons or the damage of situations surrounded by hurt and disappointment outside of our control. Perhaps you are one of the many people in this country today dealing with debt, divorce , substance abuse, relational and family struggles.

My focus with couples includes parenting challenges, infidelity, emotional estrangement, relational inequities, living with addiction and divorce .
Reaching out for a therapist is a courageous step on the path to change and personal growth. Oftentimes we are unable to make positive changes in our life because overwhelming emotions, negative thoughts and unproductive behavioral patterns block us from moving forward. Even when we know exactly what to do next, we can find ourselves unable to take the necessary steps to initiate change. My approach to therapy is collaborative, direct and compassionate. We will work together to address and contain your immediate challenges, to process unresolved issues and to help you find a deeper connection with the world around you.

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.
