Divorce Therapists in Richmond, VA

I am a child, teen, and family psychologist and Past-President of the Virginia Academy of Clinical Psychologists, with 30+ years of practice. My background and the core of my work is individual/family therapy from toddler-hood to adult. I have skills and a passion for working with families in a Collaborative Divorce process, a non-litigated process that actually can foster growth in communication and decision-making skills, and I also enjoy providing consultation to coparents following divorce . These ALL build resilience – a core theme in this work!

Whether you are facing challenges with substance abuse, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, divorce , parenting or co-parenting, partner relationships, trauma recovery, career stressors or life transitions, there is hope. I match treatment interventions based upon your needs, however I tend to use treatment approaches that are solution focused and trauma informed. I am a direct and active therapist using humor when appropriate. I utilize EMDR, Life Coaching, Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive-Behavioral approaches in my work.

I have loved practicing and serving my client population for over 30 years. I consider this my vocation; not a job. I enjoy working with children, adolescents and their families.

"Worried Well" describes those who are dealing with life the best they can in spite of anxious thoughts, depressed moods, overwhelming stress, or grieving. Juggling demands of work and home, struggling with relationships or divorce or a loved one's addiction, or experiencing significant losses can make anyone doubt life will get better. Some feel guilty or selfish for experiencing these thoughts and feelings. Many question God or harbor anger and resentment toward others. Some are simply numb and can no longer find joy in the journey. You are not alone!
