While divorce is not usually the expected or desirable outcome of marriage, it does occur.
**Accepting New Clients** Everyone faces challenges now and then. Through a non-judgmental, encouraging, and peaceful therapeutic environment, I help clients find ways to overcome those challenges. I have worked with a diverse population, and I believe that everyone has the power to make positive change. I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy and strengths-based approaches in my work. However, I understand that each client is unique; thus, I try to utilize therapy models that I believe will work best with the client's needs and presenting issues.

TELE-THERAPY IS NOW AVAILABLE.... Therapy is a collaborative process between clients and the therapist. Treatment will attempt to help your family process those struggles and move through them so you will be able to handle things that arise in the future. Combining compassion and common sense with formal training and experience is the most effective way to help patients deal with challenges they are facing. Therapy should help change come about in the very first session. Of course, problems are not solved immediately, but every meeting should bring new possibilities and hope for change that will last.

My most improved clients are the ones who have been told they're too smart for their own good, struggle with existential or spiritual angst, feel displaced, want to be pushed and challenged while utterly supported, need clarity on whether or not they have victimized or been victimized, have questions for which they have been told there are no answers, suffer from unprocessed or complicated grief, need help applying the knowledge they already posses, who feel like they are "too much," are afraid of feelings, and require an absolutely neutral and judgement free space to be vulnerable.

My practice supports authentic living. I hope to join with persons and offer my understanding of where they are. Such genuine contact encourages awareness of possibilities that otherwise remain just out of reach. Relationship is central; foundations of healthy relationships include trust, respect, honesty and risk-taking. Persons I sit with commonly say I am supportive and challenging, non-judgmental and honest. Persons with previous therapy experience say that our play together is "different" than their other therapy relationships, perhaps because I fundamentally believe persons are good and have inherent power to grow and change.

You feel trapped, with past traumas controlling your life and dictating your actions. The constant fear of being triggered creates barriers to connection and trust. You want to be back in control, no longer defined by your past trauma. You hope things have gotten easier over time, but then something triggers those painful memories, and they come flooding back as strong as ever. The weight of these experiences leaves you feeling stuck and overwhelmed. You yearn to break free from this cycle, to heal and move forward, reclaiming your life and embracing a future where you can connect deeply and trust fully.

I focus on providing support to men seeking to gain control in their lives and are in search of their purpose. The modern man has to face obstacles in life differently than his father and grandfather. Navigating through these roadblocks alone can be extremely difficult and sometimes traumatizing. Divorce/separation, custody issues, midlife/existential crisis, depression, and anxiety are just a few of the problems that the modern man has to face. Just talking about these problems can be difficult since some men may feel alienated by today’s mainstream therapy that does little to prioritize their needs. In my office you will be heard.

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.
