I work with a wide variety of issues, from separation, divorce, grief, ptsd, aging parents, and other life issues.
My style is highly interactive, focused on communication, and achieving client goals. It is important to me that my clients are comfortable with me and know that I am available to them. Making life changes is not always easy, but I believe in human resiliency and strength. As an example of this philosophy, I have changed my name back to my maiden name. My mother passed away from Alzheimer's disease, and for this reason, to honor her, I wanted to take my name back... human resiliency!!!

You seem to have it all together on the outside. You live by the golden rule, working hard, extending compassion while taking care of everyone but yourself. You say, “I am fine,” when you know you are not. The fear of judgment or something terrible happening weighs heavily on your mind. High standards, whether self-imposed or external, feel impossible to meet, leaving you hindered and overwhelmed. You feel stuck in negative cycles, distracting yourself from uncomfortable feelings through overworking, shopping, or drinking too much. Constantly in survival mode, you experience stress, anxiety, fatigue, confusion, and overwhelm.

For someone to undertake therapy is almost always fraught with anxiety. Who is this person I am trusting with my thoughts and feelings? Will she understand me? Everyone shares these questions and concerns in one form or another. The work I do with people is geared toward helping them to understand themselves better and to make better choices in their lives. I have many years of experience in working with people facing relationship difficulties, the challenge of using their skills to their best advantage, and in helping adults to navigate the challenges of parenting.

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.
