I offer weekly optional writing exercises and readings to support this journey. Narrative Coaching works well with anyone going through a painful loss or rejection, such as a death, break-up or
divorce
, as well as anyone who desires change but feels stuck or struggling. I'd like to help clients to realize their potentials by exploring possibilities, expanding their thinking and re-writing their narrative.

My special interests are in the areas of relationships, self perception and life transitions (marriage,

As an experienced therapist I believe that everyone owes to him/herself to live a satisfying life. If you do not like the place you are in today - do something not to be there. As Einstein said, "Nothing happens until something moves". Choosing therapy is definitely the right move for you. It is not a sign of weakness but rather of your determination. Whatever problem you are facing today: anxiety, depression, disturbing relationship, or work related stress - I am here to help you facilitate changes that will allow you to reach your goals.

Also, family dynamics, marriage and

are frequent themes.
I’ve been a practicing licensed psychologist for more than 40 years, helping people become the best versions of themselves. I believe talking to a non judgmental professional who understands your problems can help you gain perspectives on issues that may seem overwhelming and hopeless. I think the key to success is developing a strong relationship with the therapist so that we become a team. Together I help you help yourself; lead a happier, wiser and more fulfilling life. And i participate actively during our session so that therapy becomes a warm and safe environment to grow in all the ways you desire. .

“There is no greater agony than bearing the untold story inside you.” - Maya Angelou. Each person’s story shapes them and a burden to carry alone that is relieved when met with empathy. I consider it an honor to be present with clients as they share their untold story, gain greater self-knowledge, and manifest the story that is yet to come. I come from a place of curiosity and non-judgement around each individual’s lived experience. I hope to create a warm, accepting space where you can be your authentic self, feel safe to express your uncensored thoughts and share both laughter and tears.

.
With 21 years of experience I join you in a collaborative process to resolve the obstacles to your growth and healing. I work with adults who want to improve their relationships, manage professional conflicts, come to grips with panic and anxiety, and build self confidence. I ask simple questions to open new avenues of thought and overcome self-defeating patterns that may be rooted in the past. This self reflection brings more adaptive coping for transformative change and greater fulfillment.

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.
