Whether you need help improving your communication skills, telling your partner you want a divorce, or becoming more confident in your role as an individual, partner or parent; I want you to know you never have to do it alone.
I have traveled my own personal journey to find a career and true passion in life for helping others that are stuck and/or have a desire to grow.
Two things I believe:
1. Our lives are what relationships make of it. As a result, the work we put into our relationships, regardless of what stage of life we are in, is always worth it.
2. There is no such thing as a relationship that doesn't need work. In fact, often, the best relationships are the ones in which individuals never stops working. Work doesn't mean it's not hard, it means you respect your relationship enough to keep wanting to improve.

Life is a journey, taking us on a path that is unique as we are. This path can be truly inspiring, fulfilling, and meaningful.

I specialize in helping families, couples, and individuals clarify their goals, increase awareness, and improve the skills required to create the life they desire.

I'm about love, self-compassion, radical acceptance, embracing failure, trusting your innate wisdom and starting over. I fundamentally believe in every person's ability to recover from trauma, addiction and life, in general. Experience has taught me that no one is really avoiding anything. When people accuse you of not dealing with something, what they are really saying is you aren't dealing with it the way they want you to. From my perspective, if you wake up every morning and breathe in and out all day long, you're dealing with your stuff. A tiny bit of intention is all it takes to begin healing.

I work with individuals and couples that may feel crippled by past pain, living with addiction, stuck in unhealthy relationships, or are recovering from a recent divorce/partner breakup.
Life is a constant process of change-and sometimes that change can seem so overwhelming that we may feel too stuck to move. I work with individuals who recognize that growth is needed; however, the fear of change can make us compare ourselves to others, silence us from saying what our heart needs to say, stop us from growing, and imprison us with the "what ifs". My job is to help you find your inner strength and voice to grow, break unhealthy habits, reach goals, and recover from the pain of your past.

Work, family, relationships… it’s a LOT! Trying to keep your head (and everyone else’s!) above water is a constant battle. It’s like you’re juggling 12 balls, and it’s the end of the world if even one of them drops. No wonder your nerves are shot! That pit in your stomach seizes you the minute you wake up each morning, and really… it never lets go. It’s been way too long since you’ve enjoyed peace, joy, and confidence. The anxiety is taking over your life. The depression is making it even harder to keep up with that endless to-do list. And when you’re completely overwhelmed, you can’t show up fully in your relationships.

Imagine that you are holding a bottle of soda. Now imagine yourself shaking that bottle. What happens if you open the top? It explodes everywhere! Now, if you take that same shaken up bottle and carefully turn the lid to let a little amount of air out at a time, it will settle. This is how I view therapy, with each shake representing a negative experience, relationship, and/or trauma. Good therapy demands being careful with and sensitive to those shakes, and eventually walking out the door with a mind, a relationship, and a life ... settled.

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.
