Welcome, I know reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, especially when you've been carrying things on your own for a long time. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, the impact of trauma, depression, challenging relationship patterns, feeling overwhelmed, or in a time of transition, you don't have to navigate it alone. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself. Rather than focusing on what's wrong, we'll explore how your experiences have shaped you and work toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and healing.

Do you feel alone in your relationship, unseen or unheard by your partner? Maybe the effort feels heavier than the connection, and the relationship no longer brings the sense of closeness you once hoped for. Even strong relationships go through seasons where conflict, distance, or life stress take over. I specialize in working with couples and families who want to rebuild connection, improve communication, and feel more secure with one another. Together, we focus on creating a relationship that feels stable, supportive, and good enough, where both partners can experience trust, emotional safety, and a better balance between effort

Hi, I’m Becky!
I’ve been a licensed therapist since 2008, and I really enjoy working with kids, teens, young adults, and the parents raising them. I love helping families find more balance in their lives and supporting all humans through whatever challenges they’re facing.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I get that. But a lot of my clients find that they don’t need to be in therapy forever to see real progress. Each session is a chance to build skills, grow confidence, and move forward at your own pace.
Thank you for checking out my profile, I look forward to meeting you!

You've done the work. Maybe years of therapy. Self-help. The meditation apps. You've made progress, and some part of you is still bracing. Still managing. Still waiting to actually feel free.

Going through a divorce, life changes, or feeling lonely and disconnected?
The first few sessions focus on gathering background information, building a strong therapeutic relationship, and collaboratively setting goals. Because each person comes to therapy with their own preferences, needs, and hopes, I make space for these to be shared and revisited throughout the process while inviting feedback on how you feel things are going.

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.
