I can assist you with difficulties in your life due to relationship issues, divorce, life transitions, academic /job stress, past or current trauma, anxiety, and depression.
Often what brings people to therapy is the desire to change a pattern of behavior that no longer works in your best interest. Changing the way we handle certain areas of our lives can be a difficult process. Finding the right therapist for you is essential in making this change happen. Together we will explore what change you would like to move towards, and understand how your patterns developed over time. What once were effective coping skills may no longer be necessary or useful, but letting go and finding another way is the work we can do together.

People often come to therapy because they are experiencing a particularly difficult moment in their lives like a divorce, loss of job, or challenges with children, family or friends. Other times, it is more that they are experiencing recurring symptoms like anxiety, depression, or relationship turmoil. Quite often there is unaddressed trauma in their lives as well. I have been helping people for 17 years to get back in touch with their own path for healing and growth. I provide a safe space where you can tap into your own desires and, in time, move your life in the direction you want.

We can all use a little help sometimes. Counseling can provide us with a space to explore our authentic selves and try out new strategies for coping with life's challenges, free from judgment. The individuals and families I support are typically seeking relief from feelings of sadness, anxiety or worry, shame, hopelessness, anger, or confusion. These feelings are often associated with divorce or separation, grief and loss, family issues, or childhood trauma. The feelings and circumstances can feel all consuming and difficult to manage, but you don't need to manage them alone.

Whether your child is experiencing a big life transition such as divorce, death, or illness or they are expressing feelings of anxiety or depression with no known trigger, therapy can be a safe space for them to work through their emotions and build on coping strategies.
Life is full of experiences that catch us off guard, leaving us feeling fragile and vulnerable and full of emotions that are difficult to manage. Some of these events, such as pregnancy, parenthood, marriage, and new relationships often cause us to have juxtaposing emotions that can be challenging to navigate and contribute to feelings of isolation. As your therapist, I will walk beside you as you overcome life’s obstacles and help nurture any past wounds to help you live your best life. In addition to adults, I also love working with children from birth through adolescence.

My specialties include depression, anxiety, trauma-based disorders, couples therapy, premarital counseling, parenting techniques, child adjustment to parental separation, attachment therapy, collaborative dissolution processes, divorce conflict and eating disorders.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that each individual has the capacity to affect change in his/her life. I also believe in my responsibility to actively engage with my client and facilitate their movement through their issues and feelings. Different theoretical interventions may be more facilitative depending on one's particular needs, one's background, one's view of the world, and one's capacity for insight. As a therapist, I truly consider the individual as a whole and attempt to utilize the most effective tool to facilitate progress towards independent wellness given the particular needs and challenges of my client.

Therapy, from my perspective, is all about balance and curiosity. High hopes and occasional tough love balanced with gentleness and compassion for yourself and your loved ones. Embracing and working toward change while also accepting oneself and loving our immutable parts. Curiosity about why we are the way we are and where we might go from here, and the openness and vulnerability to get there. I view therapy as very much a collaboration -- I bring my expertise in therapeutic methods, you bring your expertise in your own life, and together we work to build the best future for you.

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.
