New Clients Welcomed! As Dr. Sue Johnson stated, “We are wired for connection” and meant to be dependent upon others. When our relationships experience stress, we feel disconnected, misunderstood, alone, fearful and in pain. Emotional pain, stress, shame, anxiety, anger, trauma and sadness impact all of us. I have come to deeply understand this throughout my 30+ year career listening to and empowering individuals, couples, parents and families in their healing, as well as, via my own personal journey in a life full of loves and losses.

These are strange times in which we have found ourselves. Trying to reconnect and re-engage in our "new" world can be overwhelming and exhausting. What were once little worries are now becoming cycling thoughts with no end. We tell ourselves that it's easier to stay on the couch than it is to venture out, call a friend, start that project, or discover a new interest. Perhaps you feel torn? Part of you knows what it wants to see happen in your life and knows what to do to get you there, but another part seems so intent on convincing you that you don't have the motivation or strength to change; you feel so stuck. I know ways to help.

What is my approach to helping?

I work with individuals and couples that have interest in gaining increased awareness about their ways of being in their lives in order to bring about alternative outcomes. I am a platform for clients to discuss concerns, clarify what would be helpful and strengthen resolve and understanding of personal resources to make a desired change in their lives.

Divorce Counsellors
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 behavioural, 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 behavioural 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.
