I can help with stress management, treatment of depression and anxiety, including generalized anxiety and PTSD, recovery from divorce, pregnancy stress, postpartum depression, grief counseling, marital conflict, other relationship challenges, and coping with medical problems, among other issues.
Choosing to begin therapy is often a hard decision; however, when you find a psychologist who is a good fit for you, therapy often leads to many positive outcomes, including feeling calmer and thinking more clearly. My approach is to provide a collaborative, nurturing, and non-judgmental environment in which my clients can explore their feelings, thoughts, and relationships. I work with my clients to help them determine what they have control over and which strategies can help them feel better. I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology and 25 years of experience, working with individual adults, adolescents, and couples.

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.
