Life can shift in unexpected ways—relationships change, identities evolve, and we can lose sight of who we are. I work with adults of all gender expressions who feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about what’s next. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and create space for clarity, confidence, and self-acceptance. I use CBT, EMDR, and insight-based approaches to support healing and rediscovery. You’re not lost—you’re becoming.

I work with clients struggling with a variety of issues, and specialize in divorce, anxiety, depression and difficulties adjusting to life transitions.
Sometimes life’s demands, stresses and challenges can feel like just too much to manage alone. I work with clients who feel depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or maybe they’re not even sure what they’re feeling but they know something’s deeply wrong or missing in their lives. Others are experiencing a bumpy transition or feel confused, stuck or unhappy about their relationships, career, or future. I'm glad you're here seeking help and I'd love to talk to you.

I have a passion for working with people experiencing life transitions, including divorce or loss, forming new step families, co-parenting, or struggling with parenting concerns.
I believe understanding our behavior patterns helps us to better understand how we communicate with others and interact with the world around us. Understanding why we interact in certain ways empowers us to make different choices, and choose different, healthier paths, while promoting empathy both for ourselves and those around us.

Common presenting issues I see are anxiety, neurodiversity, relationship issues, dissolution/ divorce, infidelity/trust breaches, and sexual health.
When our significant relationships are struggling, it can impact everything else in our lives. My style is conversational, relaxed, and empowering – I want my clients to feel like I get them, always. I primarily see couples and individuals who want to heal past hurts and increase intimacy. Many folks coming to therapy are looking for concrete strategies, feedback, and directness. I work to build a level of trust with my clients that allows me to offer new ideas and tools. Therapy can feel scary and intimidating, so my hope is to create a space that feels safe, even when we’re working to challenge patterns in your life.

I have worked with folks going through the rigors of a divorce.
Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step so that life may get different for you. The beauty and benefits of re-examining how we can make changes in our lives, continues to fuel my passion for therapeutic dialogue. The integrative nature of my work allows for us to look at family of origin explanations, without blaming, so that you can move toward change. When what feels like roadblocks comes up there are a number of tools that can help, like increasing mindfulness and learning more around boundaries and assertive communication.

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.
