Via individual/family therapy, I work with children/adolescents/adults with MH, addiction, trauma, abuse, attachment, parenting, family/relationship issues, foster care, child protection, adoption, divorce, blended families, family reunification, & emotional/behavioral dysregulation.
I've worked with individuals & families via CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)/trauma focused therapy, family systems therapy, & play therapy for a variety of issues such as MH & addiction since 1998. I adjust/integrate therapeutic modalities holistically based on needs. I am respectful, laid back and humorous during tough work. I'm supportive & I encourage/challenge you to grow. It is difficult to change while health & wellness may require changes. I may use “tough love” while I am understanding and collaborative. Recovery/health requires action, growth, maturity, & accountability.

I have over 15 years experience working with individuals as they navigate life’s ups and downs. I am a seasoned therapist in helping clients emerge from feeling discontent and not quite sure knowing what to do to finding direction and feeling empowered. Maybe you feel like the familiar roles that once provided comfort are now holding you back from embracing your true self. Or maybe you’re going through a big transition and what is next feels scary and overwhelming. Divorce? Midlife? Menopause? Empty nest? These can be scary transitions that are full of potential and growth!

I work with adult and adolescent clients who are experiencing difficulty in managing anxiety, anger, trauma, depression and relationship-based concerns. I invite you to consider the idea that you are the author and director of your thoughts and emotional responses. Put differently, you have within you the power to rewrite the "script" on how you see yourself and the role that you play in your life, regardless of what you may have experienced in your past. In our shared journey, I hope to help you feel more empowered as an active agent of change in responding to suffering, depression, anxiety and trauma.

Feeling too needy in your relationship? Are you always feeling a little out of control in your relationship? Feeling scared, anxious, or confused by your partner’s behavior? I know exactly what you're feeling: the tightness in your chest, constantly feeling like you’re losing the one you love and care about, feeling pushed away, feeling like a crazy person, and feeling like you need security and reassurance NOW. These feelings can be consuming and terrifying, and I do not want you to suffer from them anymore. Holistic practices can reduce feelings of neediness, anxiety, and depression tremendously.

I believe we all have changes that can be made to live better. Whether you are considering therapy for the first time or coming back now is the time to take the steps to make those changes. Many aspects of life can be challenging, especially over these last years. Therapy can be important in understanding what areas need adjustment, ways to make lasting change, and to have someone along who wants to support you through it all.

I enjoy working with female clients who possess a unique set of characteristics, challenges, and aspirations shaped by their profession and life experiences. Perhaps you frequently encounter high-stress situations and traumatic events, which can lead to emotional strain, burnout, and post-traumatic stress. Or, you encounter physical demands including irregular hours & physical exertion, that can lead to fatigue and health concerns. Balancing a demanding career with personal and family life can be particularly challenging. You are more susceptible to mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression and stress.

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.
