Some examples of life transitions: grief and loss, challenges growing a family, death and dying, anxiety/ depression, starting a family, self esteem/self worth, dating/marriage, divorce, new job/new home, graduating, retirement, empty-nest, menopause, illness, identity/sexual orientation issues, addiction/recovery (including eating disorders), aging & anything unique to you that causes change.
You can have an amazing life; the life you've always wanted. As an expert in counseling surrounding death and dying, I have discovered that the issues encountered due to grief and loss are the same with all life transitions. This is even true for those transitions that are positives in our lives. This concept is what drives my approach to assisting you through life's transitions with ease and comfort. This will give you the opportunity to create a life of peace, love and joy. I look forward to being a part of your journey

I’ve had the privilege of helping clients navigate various challenges, including medical conditions, grief, financial issues, divorce, relationship struggles, work-related stress, school stress, acceptance of sexual orientation and many other concerns.
As human beings we sometimes enter periods in our lives in which we experience significant life transitions or face mental health challenges which naturally lead to feelings that can feel uncomfortable such as anxiety and depression. During these moments it’s not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by our emotions, feel like the feelings are everlasting and or uncertain about how to move forward. When we enter these phases one of the best ways to move forward is by seeking a supportive space where we can explore our thoughts and feelings openly. Thus, I'm glad you are considering seeking psychotherapy.

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.
