I believe therapy works best when clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, providing support for concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and self-esteem. I strive to create a safe, respectful, and collaborative space where clients of all ages feel heard, understood, and supported so meaningful change can happen. My approach to therapy is eclectic and person-centered, drawing primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) while integrating techniques from other evidence-based modalities as appropriate.

Need help figuring out why your relationship just keeps doing the same thing over and over? Do you feel like no one is actually hearing what you? Is it hard to get past something that happened a while back? We often keep repeating things because we think if we just do it again or do differently we'll finally unlock the barrier that's held us back. My people come to see me after trying something over and over and they feel defeated. Often, the secret is a small tweak from a slightly different angle that helps with trauma, anxiety, depression, communication, and/or relationships.

Hey you! Shout out to you for starting your therapy journey! Now the hardest part..Finding a therapist you can connect with. That can be pretty challenging, but while you're here, let me tell you a bit about myself. I work with those who are BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and children/teens (starting at 8). People who see me want to address anxiety, depression, self-doubt, stress, life changes, relationship concerns, cultural differences, or feeling like they have to hide parts of themselves to fit in. Some are trying to heal from past experiences, while others want a space where they can show up authentically without judgment.

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.
