I aim to guide clients to uncover and understand their truths as they share their stories. Feelings around intimacy, loss, and shame which manifest as depression and anxiety are often central themes. Couples counseling, issues relating to sex and sexuality, co-parenting, divorce, and physical illness are some of my specialties. People become stuck in self-imposed limitations and self defeating actions and self talk. In our work, you will gain new perspectives that encourage your authentic self to express itself.

"Change" is an inevitable part of life! Although it can result in new and exciting opportunities unfortunately, it can often create painful and unmanageable symptoms when we consider the "losses", transition and possible grief associated with it. Loss of relationships, marriage, family, loved ones, jobs, health, confidence, etc., can easily translate into anxiety, depression, confusion and doubt. As an empathetic, versatile and understanding therapist for over 30 years, I have been instrumental in changing individual and couples lives and futures by providing coping tools, strategies, and promoting resiliency with supportive and empowering approaches that the navigation of these challenges require.

Psychotherapy is about change and making yourself a priority. Life can become overwhelming and out of control. We become anxious, depressed about poor health, destructive relationships, losses, trauma and endless disappointments. When you hear yourself say, "I don't want to live this way any longer", you are ready to take your life back. As a therapist, I focus on the importance of valuing yourself, forgiving yourself for not being perfect, and most importantly, knowing that you are deserving. With a greater sense of self-worth you will successfully pursue the things you need and want; relationships, work, education........

As an individual, you may be experiencing a range of symptoms in body and mind that affect your ability to function optimally, to rise, and become your fullest you. In individual therapy, you’ll discover that these symptoms conceal aspects of yourself that yearn to be seen and known by the rest of you. In accessing these buried parts of self, you’ll find that your symptoms become openings through which powerful transformations occur. As a couple, you may find yourselves trapped in repetitive, painful interactions. In couples therapy, you'll begin to transform these interactions into a safe dialogue where all feel seen and known.

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.
