Divorce

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.

Transition in life never really changes that is the one constant piece in life we can count on. We as human beings are programmed to be suspicious of change, perhaps worried about change. Working to feel comfortable with change, learning to embrace yourself, learning to understand yourself, learning to be okay with this constant change provides resiliency needed that can assist within navigating the rest of our lives.

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.

I work specifically with women who have divorce as part of their stories. Reclaiming your identity, working through issues of emotional abuse, and coparenting are all topics that we will explore in session.
