I truly believe we do the best we can, in the moment we're in, with the skills we have. Sometimes, we just find ourselves in situations that overwhelm us, or outmatch our coping, communication, or problem solving skills. Therapy can offer new tools and insights so that we can get "unstuck" and move forward. I will help you explore and build upon your current strengths, supports, and skills as well as help you navigate the changes you'd like to make for yourself and for your relationships. I value listening, exploring strengths, and helping examine and shift old habits that no longer serve you.

I am currently providing individual therapy only at this time. A primary area of focus I have in my practice is to understand the systemic and contextual factors of clients. I also value the approach of looking into the nature of the relationships between those involved with a particular problem or situation. As a therapist it is my goal to offer a safe and respectful environment free from judgment. This environment enables clients to safely identify and explore their current situation in hope of successfully uncovering and developing the resources and strengths necessary for growth and resolution.

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.
