Life at times can be challenging, be that from depression, anxiety, difficult relationships, abuse, aging, work, chronic health problems, co-dependency, low self-esteem, grief, to our own destructive behaviors we can't seem to change. I have experience working with all of these, but helping those going through major life transitions, stress, feeling overwhelmed, and co-parenting after divorce or separation are some of my specialties. I like working with clients who are seeking change and ready to embrace the process of self-exploration and healthy alignment to reduce inner conflict and learn new ways of being in this world.

I go to the core of your issue in the first session. I am actively involved asking questions, hearing not only what you say but what you are really saying. A client who wants to work, grow, and change unwanted behavior is perfect for my approach. I work well with both men and women treating past hurts, narcissism, sexual addictions, and more.

To be human is to know trouble and beauty. Much of the time we deal effectively with life's ups and downs. Other times, our resources can be overwhelmed by a major event or loss. Even expected transitions can present a crisis, contributing to depression and anxiety. Lifelong concerns among family members, such as poor communication and/or conflicts, can be improved no matter your stage of life.

Life often presents challenges, particularly in times of uncertainty. I firmly believe that each person's unique perspective, influenced by their individual core beliefs and background, significantly shapes how they approach these challenges. Recognizing and respecting the diversity of each client, along with their specific needs, is essential in developing an effective treatment plan. My professional experience includes working with diverse populations, including monolingual Spanish-speaking clients, members of the LGBTQ+ community, women experiencing postpartum depression, and survivors of domestic violence.

You're a bright and capable woman, consumed by anxiety and stress. On the bad days, you feel like you're fighting a losing battle against yourself. Your relentless efforts to please others come at the cost of your health and well-being. You desperately want to drop the mask and be yourself, but you're terrified that if people truly knew you, they would reject you. Part of you fears that anxiety, stress, and your past will hold you back forever, while another part believes that relief and a better life are possible. You know something needs to change, but you're unsure of where to start.

I view grief as loss of any kind, whether it be from death, divorce, a job – basically anything that finds you in a place in life you did not desire or imagine.
Life can be so unfair and being human is incredibly difficult, yet there is also so much beauty in life to experience as well! It can be exhausting to feel like you have to put on a front and be filtered in order to do life while suffering. Learning to find a way to hold and make sense of these contradictions can be a painful, confusing and complicated process! We often view things as being “either/or” when much of life is actually "both/and." My desire is to create a safe place for you to JUST BE…unfiltered…to help process, and receive rest for your soul and mind in order to heal and live life as your best authentic self.

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.
