I help my clients explore their relationship with their spouse or partner. We can look for red and green flags and areas of subtle abuse. I also run support groups for people contemplating divorce or recovering from a toxic divorce.

I see my role with those struggling with divorce as someone who can assist in processing the emotion, offer strategies on caring for yourself (esp when having to communicate with your ex), and facilitate the creation of a helpful narrative.

Divorce is one of life's most challenging transitions, often accompanied by a whirlwind of emotions ranging from grief and anger to confusion and relief.

I support couples and individuals as they navigate the complexities of divorce, utilizing Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and discernment counseling. A couple may need EFT interventions to repair and strengthen their relationship. In cases where one partner is leaning out and the other is leaning into the marriage, discernment counseling helps couples make informed decisions about whether to pursue separation.

My masters degree is in Marriage and Family Therapy which provides me the academic and experiential background when treating couples and relationship distress. Over the last 10 years I have developed a niche in assisting clients in working through divorce in individual, couples and group settings.

The end of a relationship offers an opportunity for profound self-discovery.

This self-awareness is essential for personal growth and preparing for future relationships.

Divorce sucks. Many experience anxiety, depression, fear, anger, shame, guilt, and loneliness. There are also financial negotiations, custody battles, and disappointments. Friends and family may judge the couple for “not trying hard enough”and people are quick to blame one or both partners for possessing relational flaws. As you deal with the loss of your marriage and the stigma it comes with, you may also feel you have lost yourself along the way. Call or email me today.

Whether you wanted the divorce or not, this is not what you expected. Divorce is like being handed a Rubix cube and riding a roller coaster at the same. People don't "get it". At times the people closest to you are the most unhelpful. The loss, trauma, and hurt are real. The pathway to healing and rebuilding your life is daunting. Being told to "focus on yourself" is frustrating. In therapy, you will feel seen, have a space to heal, and a guide to help you build your life one step at a time.

If you’re struggling in your relationship and worry that it's over take heart. It’s normal that relationships change over time. It’s also normal to want the relationship you once had were you looked forward to being together and had a loving and trusting relationship. Relationships don’t come with “how to” manuals especially when you have been together for years. Don't lose hope. There are things you can do.

Experiencing the end of a relationship, whether it be a marriage, a partnership or in business, can be a deeply painful process that stirs up a myriad of feelings including anxiety, depression, grief-and-loss, and trust issues as well as confusion about the future. I offer a supportive, safe place to identify, express and manage difficult emotions and new coping skills to help you work through the transition to reshape your life.
