In addition to doing therapy I am a Collaborative Law
Divorce
Coach.
My ideal client is the person or individual struggling with the pain of depression or anxiety or challenging relationships. I also am honored to walk with people that are exploring personal growth, greater self knowledge, and the meaning and purpose in their lives. I want a client who will be a partner in this process and allow me to co-create a safe enough place in our work together that we can fully explore their journey. This process will be characterized by safety, compassion, and peace as we move toward discovering the truth that is already within them.

I'm experienced in supporting premarital counseling, reconnection couples counseling, surviving infidelity/broken trust, and
divorce
/separation counseling.
There hasn't been a relationship in my life that didn't require commitment and at times flexibility and sacrifice. Couples relationships are no different and we sometimes need a nonjudgmental professional to help uncover destructive patterns and gain new skills of connecting with our loved ones. I specialize in offering couples counseling services to all kinds of relationships. This can look like individual counseling sessions with a focus on relational issues or partnership sessions that include the individuals in the relationship. I use a culturally competent lens when supporting BIPOC and LGBTQ+ partnerships.

"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!

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.
