I've spent two decades helping people untangle worry, sadness, trauma, and the big life changes that sneak up on all of us. The heart of it is always the same: two people talking honestly, one human to another. I work with people struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, self-doubt, and challenging life transitions. If you're feeling powerless or like your inner critic is in control, we can work together to uncover what's blocking you from finding meaning, joy, and purpose.

My ideal clients are women who are working to break generational (and/or self-imposed) expectations of roles as woman, wife, mother, sister, daughter... women who want to navigate from their authentic self, yet don't necessarily know what that "self" is, or who don't want to burn bridges or "blow things up" in the process.

Is your life turning out the way you planned? Are your personal relationships fulfilling? Are you finding the right job for you? Do people get who you really are? Too often we lose track of the way we exist each day. Depression over past mistakes or anxiety about what might happen in the future prevent us from being who we want to be in the present. The goal of existential counseling is to help you develop a better relationship with your "self" first, and then to improve your relationships with others. To help you gain more confidence in the decisions you make daily and to worry less about how others will judge you in the future.

My ideal clients are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who appear capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected within. They may struggle with anxiety, relationship patterns, life transitions, self-worth, or spiritual questions. Some want faith integrated into their care, while others are questioning or rebuilding beliefs. They are ready to understand themselves more deeply, break repeating patterns, and move toward a steadier, more meaningful way of living.

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.
