The most important things in life are not things they are our relationships. First is our relationship with ourself. Are you struggling with grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, job problems, love addictions, parenting issues, sex problems? Are you wanting better communications & more intimacy? Maybe your past has left you feeling insecure, shamed, resentful, or angry. Is this an old pattern or a new situation that you're facing?

Reaching out for help takes courage and is likely one of the hardest steps on the path to healing. Maybe you've been praying that a relationship will improve, or you'll get a better job, the anxiety/depression you're feeling will go away, or the addiction you're battling will subside. Prayer does change things and gives us hope, but seeking the help of a trained professional can accelerate positive change, re-frame negative thoughts, and help restore balance in life. Learning new ways to cope, tapping into the power of mindfulness, and changing perspectives can ease depression and end isolation.

Let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s talk. Many people see therapy as a one side conversation, with a limited ability to interact or experience one another as individuals. I can promise you, I am as real as it gets! I want to work with you to help you achieve all you hope while enjoying the process along the way. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and a deep breath) to call and see how I can help!

I have experience working with clients who are struggling with a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, as well as relationship issues surrounded by low self worth, shame and resentments. I have learned that there are many factors that contribute to someone feeling overwhelmed and may prevent us from reaching our goals that may also include poor coping skills, communication issues, grief or loss, and addiction issues. My goal will be to help you learn how to regulate emotions, identify unhealthy mindsets and/or memories that have kept you feeling trapped, and learn skills so you can find restoration in your life.

So many of us want and need validation. I have clients express relief when they hear they are not alone with how they feel or act. Some just want to be heard...to have someone truly listen. Many struggle with low self esteem or feel awkward in social settings. I believe a person’s physical well-being is related to their emotional and spiritual self. If one is out of sync, it affects the rest. Everyone wants to be happy! I am prepared to help individuals find their own happy and healthy balance in life!

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.
