Can you remember the last time you didn’t feel stressed? Has stress become your new normal? You feel depressed and have unrelenting anxiety. You feel stuck and wish the world would slow down. And your body is in a knot - stomach aches, muscle tension, stiff neck, tight jaw. You might be struggling from a lifelong illness, like cancer, going through a life changing event like divorce or job loss, or grieving the loss of a loved one, or don't know why you feel the way you do. You just know you don't like it - you want to feel better. Something has got to change.

I specialize in treating adults (18+) experiencing symptoms of PTSD or other trauma-related disorders, as well as depression and/or anxiety. In my practice, I concentrate on addressing not only the trauma you have experienced but also the co-occurring issues that develop as a result of those experiences. These can include depression, anxiety, eating disorders/body image issues, low confidence in personal and work environments, problems forming and maintaining satisfying relationships, difficulty managing finances, and substance use. Everyone's experience is unique, and thus trauma impacts people differently.

Feeling so checked out in the relationship. Drowning in conflict. Detaching from your spouse. Feeling scared, lonely, and overwhelmed. Can your relationship ever be fixed? It’s just not working. What you want is clear and sounds so simple: you crave connection and intimacy. You want to feel loved, understood, and cherished. If family drama is also part of the picture, it can be particularly hard to know what to do to create peace. How can you possibly connect when your family “talks” turn into taking things personally, getting defensive, or just checking out entirely? You just want peace and connection.

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.
