Throughout life, everyone has adopted some negative beliefs, downloads from parents and early life, and most have some sort of traumas from different periods of their life. Often we do not realize these negative influences and the impact it has on our attitudes, behaviors and health. I work as a Synergetic and Energy therapist helping clients to clear these negative influences in order to allow the client to embrace ongoing health and happiness.

I continuously strive to give the most individualized care and support that I can, to best meet the needs of each client. In order to do so, I get to know my clients so that I can better understand them, their needs, their weaknesses and most importantly their strengths. In doing so, I am able to more effectively work with them to help them gain a better understanding of themselves and the reasons driving their mal-adaptive behaviors and choices. With a better understanding of oneself and one's actions, the steps towards making desired positive changes become more clear and attainable.

Real change requires conscious effort and action, in addition to a deeper understanding of old patterns. As your therapist, I'll listen to your story, and perhaps hear an unspoken one in the spaces between your words. Good therapy is about empathetic listening, holding space, and developing trust so you can safely identify patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving which may be holding you back; explore possibilities; and develop self-awareness about yourself. Sometimes just being heard inspires us to consciously choose to change the nature of our underlying thoughts, and thus move toward personal growth and transformation.

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.
