J’attache de l'importance à l'établissement d'un environnement thérapeutique empathique et confortable où la personne se sent en sécurité. J'encourage une relation collaborative et authentique dans laquelle mes clients se sentent compris et soutenus. Parce qu’une personne est unique, j'insiste sur une compréhension complète de chaque client et de leurs préoccupations spécifiques. Mes interventions sont basées sur cette compréhension ainsi que les préférences du client. Dans mes plus de 15 années de pratique, j'ai travaillé non seulement avec une diversité de problèmes cliniques mais aussi avec des clients de diverses cultures.

La thérapie nous rend vulnerable et peut être difficile. C’est pour ça que je m’engage a créer un environment comfortable qui est à votre disposition. Je travaille avec vous pour adapter votre thérapie a vos besoins et pour atteindre vos buts. Je me base sur les principes de la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale qui éclaire les liens entre nos pensées et nos émotions pour comprendre leurs influences sur nos actions. J’apporte aussi une attention aux événements socioculturels qui nous influencent et nous forment chaque jour.

With expertise in schools and the child welfare field, one of my specialties is in treating (and helping parents with) a wide array of child and adolescent mental health issues, including depression, mood/anxiety disorders, learning differences and attention deficit, divorce, loss/bereavement, attachment difficulties, trauma, and substance use.
I believe that every problem or life challenge offers an opportunity for growth and development. With the support of a positive and safe therapeutic relationship, you can find strength to address and overcome difficulties within your immediate family, in the workplace/school, with a present/past partner, and begin to feel a deeper sense of fulfillment, find or maintain more satisfying relationships, or begin to heal from a loss or crisis. With over 20 years experience as a psychotherapist, I have successfully helped adults, adolescents, and children develop more productive coping strategies, better communication skills, and a sense of resilience.

Whether you are struggling with a typical life transition such as: marriage, divorce, adoption, or death, or suffering from anxiety, anger, depression, or self-harm/sabotaging behaviors, therapy will be tailored to your individual situation.
I believe that, without exception, every individual carries within, the capacity required for healing to occur. As a therapist, it is my honor and privilege to help clients and their families uncover and understand the meanings and feelings associated with their symptoms. Whether the primary client is a child, adolescent, or adult, I work collaboratively with couples/parents to create a treatment plan that is right for the family as a whole. From this perspective we can then work together to discover more adaptive and creative ways to solve problems, build relationships, and live rich and fulfilling lives.

DIVORCE CONSULTANT/COACH: For clients who are divorcing, I practice a collaborative divorce model that assures privacy; parents collaborate to implement agreements that attend to their kids, and address the concerns of each parent.
Children, teens, and adults each approach their problems from differing levels of life-experience and developmentally varied problem-solving skill sets. They also have differing neurological availability to the resources and strategies that their brains can employ. At Collaborators, Inc., we work with people where they are in time, place, development, neurology, and life space. Hearing people process their experiences in this way, and joining with them in making sense of challenges, relationship issues, conflicts, and family history issues makes for a context where people can find new ways to explore their world with confidence.

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.
