Graduating from college? Issues of faith, mid-life, divorce ? It is easy to feel lost and angry during times of transition.
Wondering what is next? How you got where you are? Who you are? Afraid you've missed opportunities or what you hoped for is passing by? I work with people looking for authenticity and fulfillment, offering a chance to question openly and explore who you are and what you really love. Understanding the inevitability of change and how to navigate through sometimes unthinkable circumstances can feel overwhelming. I love working together with clients to help them understand and manage these deep emotions--and to realize that they do have the courage to face what is ahead and the ability to manage their own lives.

Making positive changes in life can feel overwhelming but can be easier with the support of a counselor. I am an experienced clinician and I have assisted people through some incredibly difficult periods. My goal is to help you create a healthy and enjoyable life by identifying and developing your strengths and supports, enhance your ability to emotionally manage life's ups and downs, improve relationships with loved ones, and enhance your self-esteem. Due to the Covid pandemic I am strictly doing remote sessions by either phone or video. This has been a significant change to my work but I have come to enjoy distance counseling.

I also work with many individuals who are struggling with feelings of stress, unease, anxiety or depression stemming from issues such as life transitions and change, relationships, divorce , grief and loss, empty nest and other problems that can impede a general sense of well-being and/or happiness.
For the majority of people, counseling gives a sense of relief and hope, in part, by providing a safe and open environment to freely talk with an unbiased and non-judgmental person about what is going on in their relationships and personal lives. I provide help for couples who feel as though they don't know what else to do to make things different in their relationships and are experiencing emotional distress due to a variety of reasons from: communication problems, conflict, and distancing, to an overall feeling of disconnect with their partners.

Accepting new clients! In person & online. All identities welcome. We can do this together. You can achieve connection, confidence, and a calm sense of safety. These are birthrights that can be buried by responses to life experiences, long or short term. Many patterns labeled “disorders”- such as anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and painful attachment patterns- are actually logical responses to early environments & cultural oppression. Engrained beliefs & relationship blueprints can quietly develop. Transcending outdated wiring is possible & maybe necessary for easing disorder symptoms & for creating a whole, authentic self.

Welcome. Perhaps you're feeling run-down. Perhaps you're feeling "stuck" or "unsettled" in life. Perhaps your child is struggling at school or at home. If you are here, you've already taken a first step toward self-awareness and growth. Sometimes the stress we feel is manageable, sometimes it feels overwhelming. I believe we are all doing the best we can and we also have the capacity to change. I hope to work with you by building a rapport based on genuineness, humor and empathy. In this process, you may discover meaning and understanding about your own experiences.

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.
