My experience includes Complex Trauma (C-PTSD/Childhood/Developmental trauma), Dissociative Disorders, IFS/Parts/Ego-state Work, Family Systems, Betrayal Trauma, High Conflict Divorce/Family Court.
Limited openings and only taking new clients until 11/1/24. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to dive deep into your childhood and connect those experiences with what you encounter in your daily life. Taking that first step can be terrifying and my desire is to help guide you through changes to help you get where you want to be in your healing journey. Whether that is learning how to set and hold healthy boundaries, managing overwhelming anxiety, practicing Mindfulness tools or addressing deep wounds that come from trauma, I hope to support you to achieve greater freedom from what is holding you back now.

I also work with parents/individuals/families transitioning post- divorce and learning healthy co-parenting strategies.
Overcoming our trials and our weaknesses is one of the hardest things we can do in life. Whether it be individually, as a couple, or as a parent, facing our challenges will be our only path to happiness. There is no "around" the struggles of life, there is only through. Without a navigating source, the path often feels impossible to find. I believe in people's ability to grow, to change and live in a way that leaves no regrets. We are not meant to go through life standing alone - healthy connection is happiness, that connection must often start with ourselves.

Divorce and the aftermath: I too have been through a divorce and it was easily one of the hardest challenges I have ever lived through.
Teens: I didn’t start working with teens, it sort of happened organically. Now, several years later, I just had the mother of one of my clients tell me she waited several months to get her kid into “The Teen Whisperer”. I had to laugh as that was the first time I had heard that. My wife and I have a blended family with 8 kids. I LOVE working with teens and helping them achieve their ultimate potential. Teens are open to new ideas, new ways of thinking, and they are very curious. Let me help your teen get on the right track! I work with teens with depression, anxiety, struggling with grades and social challenges.

Counseling is a process where you and I as a therapist co-operate to discover the things that have kept you from living, and being the person you want. In order to help, I need to know about your situation and life in general. It is important that you be willing to talk about your thoughts and feelings etc. This takes tremendous courage. As we discuss your needs, my job is to help you find the patterns, themes, contradictions, or things that are undiscovered within you and discover ways to increase your growth and happiness.

You may find yourself in a state of overwhelm that amps you up or shuts you down. It's quite possible you armor up on the outside while feeling messy on the inside. If only others knew how dreadfully stuck, confused, and exhausted you feel. Part of you wants to let others “in”, yet it is hard to trust. Multiple stressors may be weighing heavy on you. Genuine connection and support feels unreachable.

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.
