As a former teacher and school counselor, my focus is on helping children and adolescents navigate the sometimes difficult and painful challenges they face. Childhood issues such as trauma, divorce, loss, anxiety, and behavioral concerns are just a handful of tough issues our children encounter. To help them find their voices and work through struggles, talk, play and expressive arts therapy are utilized in counseling sessions.

Stressed? Struggling with people pleasing, enforcing boundaries, or need help sorting your thoughts? Is it time to make some changes in life? I work with clients that are experiencing relationship conflict, communication breakdown, recent divorce, grief/loss, burnout, and parenting challenges. Sometimes we have no idea what or why things are not seeming to click - everything just seems so difficult. Having a supportive, confidential, and fresh set of ears and eyes on your situation can help you gain clarity and the confidence you need to move forward.

I also have a special interest in working with individuals who have experienced infidelity and betrayal and are interested in relationship repair, or divorce contemplation.
Let's be honest. Life can seem hopeless at times. Between the pressures that the world puts on us, and the pressure we put upon ourselves, expectations can feel overwhelming. Am I a good parent? Is my marriage working? Am I getting the most out of my career choices? Why don't I ever have peace in my life? There are also times in our lives when we could use the assistance of a helper. Someone that can help us understand and work through all of our challenges. To be a part of this process is truly an honor. And, as a Mental Health Practitioner, I have had the privilege of helping many individuals, couples and families.

Everyone needs somebody to lean on. But what happens when the pressure is too much or goes unnoticed? I see it, I acknowledge the weight and sacrifice. A lot of the time, I believe, humans just need a little validation; a reminder that they matter and their efforts mean something. I've seen that the people with the biggest hearts suffer the most, out of protection for others and unfortunately put their quality of life on the backburner. I remind my clients of the beauty of their own heart, their innate potential, and the power of self worth. We have one life to live, why not truly live it.

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.
