This may include improving existing relationships, genuine forgiveness, recovering from toxic breakups, abusive relationships, estrangement, divorce, co-parenting, infidelity, and attachment injury.
Seeking out therapy can often be both a difficult and a rewarding choice. Often clients come in with problems that are incredibly painful, stressful, and frightening. After working through their issues clients are often surprised to find they have gained deep insight, compassion, joy, and wisdom for themselves and others. They often look back at their suffering and can view it as the "best problem of their life." I find turning difficult life circumstances into this best problem focus is the goal for therapy for many of my clients.

Relationships can be the most important and supportive part of life but can often be difficult and filled with conflict. We can experience difficulty at home, at work, with friends, with coworkers, or extended family. Whether it is online or in person, we spend a lot of our day interacting with others and problematic relationships often negatively affect our overall mental health.

Seeking relief, healing, clarity, or connection is what most often sends clients looking for a therapist. And I understand this—these are needs that make it hard to function and thrive when they’re not being met. My goal is to create a collaborative, supportive environment where together we can attend to these needs without distraction or judgement and can build skills to help fill those needs in the future.

You’re fucking exhausted. You're lonely and believe that you don't belong. This isn't where you thought you’d be at this age. You think you should've already figured out your relationships, your career, your family, etc. Maybe you are caregiving for a sick spouse, parent, or child. Isn’t there more to life? All you want to do is crawl into bed and pull the covers over your head. The mean voice inside keeps telling you that you aren’t good enough, that you don’t deserve to rest. “Take care of everyone else before taking care of yourself." “You have to be strong…All The Damn Time. “You can’t say no because then they won’t like you."

I also support people with a divorce or separation; or struggling to co-parent afterwards
As a therapist and family mediator, I've heard from clients that I'm thoughtful, speak plainly, and have a calm, calming presence. They like my caring and humor. Sometimes I'm insightful. I'm not easily thrown by things like conflict, graphic stories, or things you think nobody will understand. I sometimes see people under a lot of stress, and I try not to judge anyone by their worst decisions or moments. I've paid a lot of attention to family dysfunction, trauma, abuse, race/racism, gender and sexuality, cultural differences, and more. I'm always ready to talk about how our experiences shape us.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 30 years of experience working with clients. My work is based upon my belief that human beings are inherently good and yet all too often adopt limiting belief systems and habitual behavioral patterns which keep us from realizing our true nature. I work with clients who wish to regain their balance and integrity and assist them in learning how to live the lives they intuitively know they are meant to live. Clients often present with depression, anxiety and/or relationship difficulties and seek to feel better and sustain more on-going joy, love, and harmony in their lives.

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.
