Divorce and separation aren’t just legal paperwork. They’re emotional earthquakes, shaking your world and leaving you feeling lost and overwhelmed. Grief, anger, anxiety, depression and loneliness can all come crashing down, disrupting your sleep, your appetite and your sense of self. You might even turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms to numb the pain.

But amidst the devastation, there’s resilience. As a marriage and family therapist, I’m not here to offer false promises or sugarcoat the journey. I’m here to be your steady guide, helping you navigate the emotional and practical challenges of divorce or separation, step by step.

How I can help

Here’s what you’ll find in navigating the process of separation and divorce with me: 

  • A safe and supportive space: Therapy is a place for processing emotions without judgement. My practice provides a safe and supportive space where you can openly express your emotions without judgment. The tears, the anger, the confusion – it’s all valid, and I’ll be there to listen and support you as you process it all. When you’re feeling overwhelmed, I’ll equip you with real-world coping strategies to manage your emotions and regain control. We’ll explore healthy ways to express your feelings, find strength in yourself, and discover pockets of calm in the midst of the storm.
  • Help in identifying unresolved issues: Divorce is often tangled with unresolved issues from the relationship. I can help you identify and work through those buried conflicts constructively. This could involve understanding your own role, letting go of blame, and making peace with what went wrong. It’s crucial for healing and moving forward without the weight of the past dragging you down.
  • Coping strategies: 
  • Assistance with creating healthy boundaries: One of the toughest parts of divorce is navigating the relationship with your ex-partner. I can help you establish clear boundaries that protect your emotional well-being while ensuring effective co-parenting. We’ll work on communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, and creating a workable co-parenting plan that prioritizes your children’s needs.
  • Guidance for co-parenting

Together, we’ll explore healthy ways to cope, heal from past hurts, establish healthy boundaries and build a brighter future for yourself and your family.
