Therapy is not about quick advice or surface solutions. It’s about having a space where you can slow down, be fully yourself, and begin to understand the patterns shaping your life and relationships. When you feel truly seen and understood, something begins to shift. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relational conflict. Together, we explore the thoughts, emotions, and attachment patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Often, present struggles are connected to earlier experiences — and in therapy, we approach those connections with compassion rather than judgment.

Do you and your partner keep having the same fight over and over again? Or are you starting to feel more like roommates than lovers? If so, you’re not alone. Often the more one partner pushes, the more the other pulls away—and before long, you’re both stuck in a cycle of conflict and disconnection. The good news is, this is something we can actually work through. There is a clear, proven path back to one another—one that can help you feel close again and communicate in ways that actually work. I’ll help you understand what’s happening underneath these patterns so you can reconnect and feel close again.

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.
