Feeling disconnected in your marriage, navigating separation, or supporting a child through divorce?
Accepting new clients! Are you feeling stuck in your identity, weighed down by relationships that take more than they give, or unsure how to live in a way that feels true to you? You deserve a space where you can explore these questions without judgment and discover a grounded sense of self.
Maybe you’ve tried to be the “strong one” for everyone else, your partner, your family, your friends and somehow lost sight of who you are in the process. Or perhaps major life transitions like changes in relationships, identity, or purpose have left you feeling unmoored. If any of this resonates, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

High-achievers are often the point person at home, work, and with friends because they get things done. But all the doing, people-pleasing, and overthinking can leave you feeling drained. If you're ready to feel relief, sleep through the night, and take care of yourself without guilt, we would be a good fit. I work collaboratively with clients to identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. We set clear, achievable goals and create actionable steps towards achieving them. My ultimate aim is to help my clients connect with their core values and live a balanced, fulfilling life that aligns with their true selves.

You’ve had to figure out so much on your own – how to deal with feelings, how to box up your pain and keep going, how to protect yourself. You’ve been carrying your hurt around for YEARS. But now, you’ve hit a wall. Your pain box is bursting open and the “just push through” attitude isn’t working. You may be wondering WHY NOW, since you have already been through so much. You may have found other approaches to alleviate the suffering, but the absence of misery is not the same as thriving. It’s time to stop hiding and address the roots.

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.
