To be human can mean that joy and pain, love and despair, connection and loneliness, energy and apathy, all occur within the same internal space. When that space becomes overwhelmed with pain, shame, or fear, we can feel as though we’re running on fumes - burned-out, disconnected, feeling stuck or paralyzed. Thoughts and emotions affect the way we move through life; and consciously or not, past emotional and relational wounds affect how we approach the present and future. Therapy can be a powerful aid in healing wounds and nurturing joy, connection, meaning, and new ways of being.

Divorce turns your whole life upside down. I help people who are thinking about divorce, getting divorced, or are newly divorced. Divorce can feel like make you feel like your life is out of control; like someone or some thing picked up the snow globe of your life and shook it. Now all the pieces are flying around and everything feels overwhelming, uncertain. You don’t know how to put things back together again and are maybe not even sure you really want to. It can feel like you will never be happy again. Divorce is hard and often it's really shitty.

Transitions can create disconnect and emotional distress. Becoming a parent can be especially challenging. We may feel overwhelmed, burned out, or just struggling to find joy. Our relationships may suffer, creating feelings of isolation and loneliness. Interrupted sleep and added stress make it hard to engage in daily life. We may carry guilt or shame as we struggle to fulfill the needs of those we love, leaving our own needs unmet. The transition to parenting young children may also mark a shift in identity, struggling to define who we are and "how to remain me." Being a parent does not have to be so hard — relief is in reach.

I have been working as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 13 years with an underlying curiosity and hope for more in the way of true connection to the self and the other with a focus on trauma and attachment related issues. Connection is much more than problem solving and communication skills, but rather an ability to feel safe, secure and seen. I began my practice in community mental health and and primarily with a focus on trauma of all kinds (attachment, emotional abuse and neglect, physical abuse, sexual assault, and sexual abuse) with a focus on attachment and somatic responses.

I'm guessing that if you're reading this then you're going through something that's making life difficult and I'm sorry about that. Maybe you're not where you thought you should be, or maybe getting through the day is your only goal. Whatever it is, I believe that therapy can help. It can provide us with some much needed support and encouragement. More importantly, therapy can strengthen and increase our self-esteem and confidence as we navigate relationships, social media, and our futures.

My name is Kristine Cotangco, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who is passionate about building resilience in those experiencing stressful times. I believe that a problematic situation is never the fault of (or resolved by) one person, but rather the accumulation of factors including you, the people around you, and the environment in which you live.  I work to have an understanding of the bigger picture so that I can help you overcome patterns of behavior, rather than simply helping you through an isolated incident.
