You're a parent or a guardian who often feels overwhelmed by the emotional and behavioral challenges that their children face. It can be tough to provide co-regulation when you're feeling heightened as well. Maybe your child needs help regulating their emotional reactivity to high stress situations or finding coping skills that can help calm the storm of flooded feelings and expression. My hope is that we can work together to find strategies that range from processing trauma to meeting the unique needs of children who are gifted with diverse abilities.

Southern Grace is a place to feel known and understood. It is of utmost importance that all who enter my office feel and know that without a doubt, they are my world for the time we are together. Therapy is about having the desire for change; what we’ve done, been through, or where we come from is just a piece of our life’s story; it doesn’t have to be our whole story. I understand that moving through our discomfort can at times, feel unbearable and impossible. With self-compassion and patience, I believe all wounds can be healed. If you’ll let me, I would love to embark on the healing journey with you.

I treat individuals during and post divorce, narcissistic/emotional abuse recovery, women’s issues, anxiety, depression and adjustment disorders due to life changes.
You’ve lost yourself. Somewhere along the way, whether during a toxic relationship or maybe with ongoing anxiety, you’ve become so different, you barely recognize the person you used to be. You used to be confident, independent, and capable. Now… you can scarcely imagine a life that’s not filled with doubt and the overwhelm of racing thoughts. At one point, you had joy and hope in your life, but now your life is unrecognizable due to the stress of it all. You want to take back control of your life! You want to find inner peace and find your voice. You’re tired of feeling like you’re treading water but not getting anywhere.

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.
