Are you discouraged because of your fourth grader's consistently angry and disrespectful behavior? Raising a child with difficult behaviors can be exhausting. . . As a play therapist and parent resource, I help parents have more harmonious and enjoyable relationships with their children.

I specialize in processing the grief associated with divorce, death, and trauma throughout your lifetime.
This is a time of uncertainty and you’re not sure how to approach this new territory and time of your life. Endings can be catalysts for deep grief and personal growth. They can also conjure long held trauma that has been waiting to receive proper attention. Part of this new territory includes deeply feeling the loneliness and fear of facing life alone. The process of endings comes with confusion, shock, and the anger of losing someone you love. In the wake of all this, trying to piece it all together is feeling too difficult to face on your own. Together, we can create your best way forward.

I treat debilitating anxiety, eating disorders, and trauma caused by infidelity and narcissistic abuse, especially those going through high conflict divorce, post-separation abuse, parallel parenting problems, and court trauma.
You're going through a high-conflict divorce, and it feels like a constant battle. The person you once loved is now a stranger, turning every interaction into a warzone. You’re exhausted, emotionally drained, and feel like you’re walking on eggshells all the time. No one truly understands the manipulation and chaos you’re enduring, and you're embarrassed to admit how bad it has become. You can barely sleep, can’t focus, and yet you know you have to keep going—especially for your kids. Every day feels like a fight for survival, and you're left wondering if you'll ever truly break free from this nightmare.

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.
