I am a "child of divorce" myself.
I work well with clients (as couples, or individuals) who sense that their relationships could be much better. I can help you achieve clarity about your relationship's potential, provide a roadmap, and encouragement, for you to realize it. I help people who don't want to lose themselves in relationships, but -- rather -- find their best selves there. I approach my clients with the same kindness and compassion I would want if the situation were reversed. I also work with people who are going through, or have gone through, divorce, via weekend After Divorce workshops (Zoom based). I'm licensed in NY, MA, PA, NJ and NM.

My approach to therapy is not limited to any one direction or technique. I work to stay open to and curious about each person's unfolding story. I listen closely to nuance and I look for underlying patterns, towards understanding what keeps people stuck. I am comfortable working with great adversity and extreme pain.

Trauma is often narrowly associated with experiences of overt violence; I work with a much broader understanding. Trauma can emerge from experiences that negatively impact and interfere with daily functioning, and I believe everyone deserves opportunities to heal from visible and invisible wounds. Utilizing an intensive trauma therapy model, I help clients rebuild from life’s most vulnerable moments. I center and honor my clients’ experiential knowledge and, as a mixed-race therapist, recognize the value of creating a safe, non-judgmental space for people who carry intersecting marginalized identities.

Good therapy helps us shift from feeling blocked by internal conflicts and fears to having a transformative relationship with ourselves and others. Mindfulness and IFS are two highly effective approaches to help access beneficial qualities of mind, even in difficult circumstances. I have successfully helped clients with a wide range of issues for 20 years, and have taught and supervised students in these techniques.

The most important relationship we can have is with ourselves. When we know who we are, we move from a place of authenticity. This is represented in how we show up in our relationships with partners, family, friends, work, and beyond. Trauma causes a disruption in our ability to relate to ourselves and those around us. It impacts how we interpret the world and our place in it. Symptoms such as anxiety, depression, substance misuse, self-harm, isolation, or fear can inhibit our daily functioning. When we build a relationship with ourselves, we are more able to see how trauma impacts us and influences the choices we make.

I think every person is capable of living a joyful and meaningful life and sometimes things get stuck in our way of experiencing life how we would like. I think that’s a good place for therapy to enter the picture and I welcome the opportunity to assist you in your journey. My practice is trauma-informed and rooted in relational and attachment psychodynamic theory and critical liberation theory: I deeply value the clinical relationship in therapeutic work and am dedicated to working from a social justice perspective. I also deeply value humor; this work is hard, but it doesn’t mean we can’t find purpose and joy in the process.

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.
