I am a collaboratively trained professional and help couples divorce with dignity.
My mission is to inspire others to live their purpose. For over 30 years, I have coached individuals, couples and families with their relationships. The #1 relationship problem goes beyond communication. It is learning to resolve conflict and getting stronger through it. It is about accepting differences for what they are. Whether you just want a stronger relationship or you are in a crisis and do not know which way to turn, the only thing holding you back right now is probably fear. Ask yourself: What would love do? And then give me a call.

Many also come to help identify and resolve the issues holding them back from getting in to strong intimate relationships. The conversations fall apart and they don't know the skills for having successful conversations about difficult topics. Depression and anxiety are the most frequent symptoms motivating clients to pursue psychotherapy. Other issues include, parenting, self-control, low self-esteem, sense of emptiness/ stagnation and creative blocks.

My counseling philosophy is based on listening closely and helping you work through some of the issues that may be holding you back. I always respect my clients' background and history that may be hard for anyone else to fully understand. Generally the answers to set you free are found within yourself. One of the great benefits of counseling is that, often times, my clients find tremendous freedom just by making insightful realizations with the help of someone with clinical knowledge. The most fulfilling days are those in which my clients report relief from distraction and newfound happiness.

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.
