You’re carrying the weight of a major loss and moving through your days the way you think you “should”: by describing your grief in polite, comfortable, digestible terms for others. But something feels off. Your go-to talk track never really captures the reality of what you’re experiencing. Maybe you feel numb, anxious, angry, or increasingly disconnected from yourself. Maybe you get the sense that no one quite understands what you’re going through. You notice your relationships are changing.
I commonly work with individuals, couples, and groups who turn toward their grief because something inside them knows it's important.

We are created for connection. All of us are searching for meaning, purpose and belonging. We are made to be in relationships with each other. Our relationships provide an opportunity for life's greatest joy and greatest heartache. All of us experience the brokenness of our world and fall short of relational wholeness. Each of us a unique combination of biology and experience, which results in unique challenges, vulnerabilities, strengths, and hopes. I believe everyone has the insight, ability, and potential to thrive in our human experience and sustain a meaningful life.

Maddie is such a compassionate and present person. Talking with her is like talking with a friend by a lake on a summer evening: chill, relaxed, and insightful. Some people are born for this work, and Maddie is one of those people. She really dives in deep with her clients to try to learn what is going on, why her clients are stuck in that place, and what is needed to make change.

Nikhat (knee-cot) has a super positive vibe about her. She’s one of those people that lifts people’s spirits simply by her being in their orbit. Honestly, she’s pretty dang awesome. Have you ever met someone who just radiates positivity? That’s Nikhat. She’s just one of those people that everyone likes. And, let us tell you why. First, she is very engaged with her clients, and what she puts her mind to. She’s not a therapist who will just sit there, nod her head, and say “uh-huh”. Instead, she get’s right into the thick of things with her clients.

I use a culturally adaptive, evidence-based style that develops based on the strengths of the individual, the context for their struggles and their level of readiness for change. I feel adaptivity is an undervalued skill for therapists, because people are different in so many ways. I am known to be a therapist that helps patients develop tangible goals and build real skills. I believe it is critical for a therapist to help a patient develop techniques that help foster noticeable positive changes in their day to day life.

My approach to therapy is informed by both art and science—with a career background first as a touring musician/songwriter then as an academic researcher studying social connection and relationships. I collaborate with clients to define their unique path through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues or life transitions towards meaning, connection, and acceptance. I enjoy working with creatives (whether your medium is art, writing, music, food, fashion, etc…) and scholars / scientists on their working process and identity issues. I work with couples and friends, and warmly welcome members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I also have experience supporting individuals and families navigating divorce and the changes that can follow.
Life can be overwhelming. Between work, relationships, family, responsibilities, and unexpected changes, it's easy to feel stressed, stuck, or life you're simply going through the motions. Sometimes you may know you want something to change, but aren't sure where to begin. You don't have to navigate those challenges alone.
I believe therapy should be a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. My goal is to help you better understand what you're experiencing, recognize your strengths, and develop tools to navigate challenges with greater confidence and intention.

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.
