Loss is universal to all of us. When we grieve someone we have lost to death it is usually profound and can create a myriad of emotions (sadness, anger, guilt, relief, etc.) There are other losses in life: divorce, job loss, a geographical move away from home or what is familiar to us, an illness (life threatening or chronic). We can feel adrift and unsettled. Sometimes the very essence of who we thought we were, our very identity is shattered. Sharing your loss with someone who has many years of experience can help in establishing a new sense of self. If you are experiencing loss, please call Peninsula Therapy.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain" - Anonymous. My therapy style is warm and compassionate as I work with clients who desire to not just cope with life, but to thrive. My goal is to help you achieve and live the life you want and deserve, and I do this by helping you remove the blocks of personal growth, improve relationships with yourself and others, and find relief from your struggles. I use a diverse set of therapy "techniques" but mostly prefer to base our therapy on your specific needs.

Divorce, physical or sexual abuse and other traumas, attachment difficulties, and adoption issues are all areas in which I have extensive experience.
Relationships are central to my work, whether it be the relationship between a child or adult and myself, or the complex web of relationships within a family. My training and experience in Infant Mental Health--a type of therapy focusing on the attachment relationship between a primary caregiver and and an infant or young child--permeates all aspects of my work. I believe that therapy cannot separate an individual from the context of his or her relationships, past or present. I am creative and flexible in my approach to working with the children, teens, adults and families that I serve.

I specialize in working with parents who are dealing with divorce, custody, and co-parenting and also with individuals who recognize that improvements in their lives can lead to greater fulfillment and peace.
My favorite clients are the ones who are ready to take control of their own lives and they are ready to take their power back. They want to be happy and experience freedom in all areas of their lives and are done making excuses. My clients strive to become better people and live happy and fulfilling lives after breaking the barriers of old belief systems and barriers that were holding them back. By working together, it's possible to reclaim lost fragments of yourself and transform back into wholeness. My clients (individuals and couples) report finding freedom to be who they are, love for themselves, and alignment in purpose.

I believe it is a honor and privilege to be able to help and come alongside a person as they are going through a difficult time in their life. My goal is to provide a safe environment where a individual can come and share concerns, feelings and address issues that are impacting their life. I truly believe that the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client is of upmost importance to the client meeting their goals. Everyone has their own story to tell that involves their own personal experiences. This is why I believe the importance of looking at a persons life from when they were born to present day.

Are you feeling out of sorts? Maybe overwhelmed, sad, down, worry too much, hurt too much, and don’t know what do to next? Or maybe you are experiencing deep grief and would like some relief from the relentless tears and sadness. Believe me you are not alone. Remembering times in my life when I did not even know what I was feeling, I felt so isolated, lost and confused. I happened to stumble upon a professional that helped me. Someone that I could trust and felt very comfortable with. I was very hesitant to take this step but somehow I did. It was by far the best thing I have ever done for myself. This is why I became a therapist.

I will never forget that terrible feeling that engulfed me. I was 19 years old and struggling just to catch my breath. I couldn't focus on anything but the sheer panic. I was having my first panic attack. It was a trusted therapist who came to my rescue. My therapist turned out to be a lighthouse for me when I was lost. With compassionate guidance she helped me heal and rid myself of the anxiety and panic. I valued what she did so much that it became my goal to also be that lighthouse for others who are drowning.

After years of working with clients who expressed symptoms that were unmanageable or persistent no matter their efforts; I found the standard textbook approach for treating individuals was old and unable to create lifestyle changes so many of us searched for. I strongly believe that all patients are unique, therefore I will utilize the most integrative holistic treatment after taking into consideration the patient as a whole. I provide an open, non-judgmental environment where patients can feel safe and understood. I welcome clients of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

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.
