Life is Complicated! Depression, anxiety, divorce and all sorts of traumatic experiences are issues that make life difficult, messy and at times unbearable. These issues cause havoc in daily functions that results in confusion, guilt, and shame. They rob you of the happiness, and the joy that you desire to live and the purpose filled life you were created to experience. I work with those who are experiencing issues related to depression, anxiety and stress, trauma related to childhood and adult sexual abuse, divorce, grief, anger and other issues that prohibit a fulfilling life.

I have specialized training in Couples/Marriage Therapy, Premarital Counseling, Family Conflict, Parenting Support, Life and Family Transitions, Child and Adolescent Counseling and the Good Divorce & Positive Coparenting.
I love working with couples and families who wish to break free of unproductive patterns and reconnect with one another on a deeper lever. I see how much our relationships between affect ourselves within. No matter how hurt we've been, how self-protective we are, or how desperate we want to connect, we sometimes get in the way of the very closeness we seek. With compassion and understanding, I work with clients to build on strengths and attain more secure loving bonds in their relationships.

You help others to create better lives for themselves, but what about you — where do you turn when you need support while caring for others? You may experience compassion fatigue, burnout, and secondary trauma in helping professions, and the only way you can continue to show up for your patients is to make space to heal for yourself. You are probably a Type-A personality who puts everyone else's needs above your own. I'm here to tell you it's okay to take time for yourself. I'm here to provide a space to heal from old trauma wounds and workplace stressors that have created difficulty in work/life balance.

My therapy philosophy is based around a core belief in the beauty and importance of the individual and family. When I work with children and families, I believe I'm in the presence of something sacred. Parents want to be the best they can be, and they are doing miraculous things, every day. I love to hold up a proverbial mirror and let parents and caregivers see what I see: Good Stuff. Problems appear in the best of families.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly this world can beat us down. It seems that we take just one step forward, and life knocks us two steps backward. Life is hard enough as an individual, but when you add a relationship it gets down right messy. People disagree, argue, and inevitably hurt each other. Unfortunately we were created to be social beings. We were made to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. The circumstances of our lives can lead us to feel insecure, or unimportant. It's the lies we choose to believe that inevitably grow the problems that we experience. You can choose to think differently. I can help.

I believe that healing and emotional growth are ongoing processes, and that they truly continue throughout our lives. We are constantly breaking, repairing, learning. We are evolving in every moment. At times, however, we find ourselves stuck in the breakage. Unable to find the bend. Paused in the darkness and depth. Whether it is early childhood trauma or a current life situation; an unhealthy attachment or a tragic loss; low self-worth or misguided aggression...with mindfulness, awareness and a deep and connected relationship with a counselor, we can learn to find our way again.

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.
