If you feel guilt, fear, anxiety, depression, or grief, I want to help you work through the stages of divorce and teach you and your children the necessary coping skills to deal with the emotional pain that stems from divorce.
Many families find themselves struggling with divorce and post-divorce related issues. My ideal client is looking for the "silver lining" in a difficult situation and may feel stuck, hopeless, powerless, angry, or fearful about the future.

My guiding philosophy in working with clients is that what is right with a person can enable them to overcome what is wrong with them. My years of working with patients in various treatment settings have only strengthened that view. Whether the issue is depression, trauma, painful personal loss or getting through a difficult crossroad in one's life, my basic approach is to help the person find their own pathways to healing. This is like a process of making "repairs," not of the body necessarily, but repairing one's perspective on life and finding the wherewithal to constructively move forward.

Life can be challenging. Some people have an ongoing challenge due to trauma, anxiety, or toxic family dynamics. Others have situational challenges caused by stress, loss, or struggle in a new family dynamic. For children under 10, I work with parents and caregivers using CPRT, and SPACE. This allows me to work individually with parents to teach skills so that you may work with your child at home. These skills are lifelong skills, which most find to be extremely helpful! If a different company contacts you stating that I am not available, please know this is not me, it is a different service, not affiliated with me.

In my experience with working with individuals from all walks of life, a nearly universal thread that I see underlying most mental health and substance abuse struggles are histories of trauma. This life is hard and this world is cruel. Therefore, most of my practice comes from an understanding of the intergenerational effects and ongoing disruption that a single traumatic event can pose on an individual’s wellbeing. Utilizing CBT, DBT, and ACT, my goal is to help clients heal in a holistic manner.

Everyone has a story they want to tell, more than likely about how their life can be better than it is. In those stories are the goals they aspire for (better relationships, more self-esteem and achieving personal goals). If you want to help someone reach their goals you must first listen to their story. Only then can you walk with them towards a better tomorrow than they have today.

Life is too long to remain unhappy and too short to have continued regrets. During a session, my intention is to assist the client in utilizing their strengths to help them solve their struggles. I offer as much insight as needed while helping the client resolve their concerns and develop healthy coping strategies. I typically start out asking questions that help me get to know you and learn what your concerns are and future sessions consist of coping strategies, acknowledging trauma, learning how to process what has happened, and how to accept future possibilities.

Motherhood can be hard, but access to support and help should not be. As a therapist, and a mother myself, I have found that mothers are an overlooked population, where help, support, and advocacy is needed the most. I strive to help those in all phases, from the beginning stages of preparing, to pregnancy, and through post-partum transitions and potential difficulties that may arise. If you are struggling with new adjustments related to transitions of motherhood, know that you are not alone.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
