Divorce

When processing the end of a relationship, you can develop the power to reclaim your life by grieving the loss of your relationship, so you can be healed and restored. Together, we will figure out what contributed to the breakdown of your relationship and discuss what you can do to improve your relationships going forward. While relationship loss is the end of one chapter, it’s also the start of a brand new one. You have a whole lot of life and living yet to do.

While we have three kinds of divorces, Litigated, Mediated and Collaborative, I am trained and certified in Mediated and Collaborative. Both kinds of divorces work with the family in attempting to reach a compromised solution to a difficult relationship. We always must remember that when children are involved, the parents can never walk away, they will always have connections.

I am quite adept at guiding women through the process of divorce. I'm familiar with all aspects of divorce, including emotional, legal, and financial. I've helped many women navigate through this challenging time. I understand the significant impact it has on children, the family system, and a woman's overall health and self confidence.

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.

Parents who are experiencing divorce and child custody evaluations (social studies) are often under extreme stress. This makes it difficult to present their case in the most rational and emotion-free way. I have conducted these evaluations and I know what is expected and how to prepare properly in order help my client hit the "hot buttons" and avoid the traps, and deal with evaluator bias. I am able to perform child custody evaluations, but I prefer to coach and prepare parents in divorce and child custody cases to present their case to the evaluator in the most powerful and effective way. I can say with 100% certainty that proper preparation for a social study or custody evaluation will result in a better outcome for my client and for his/her children.

Divorce or leaving a long term relationship can feel very scary and isolating. When I went through my own divorce several years ago , I felt like I had to learn how to live with one arm. I was experiencing anxiety, depression, and grief all at once. You don’t have to go through this alone . . . In working with an empathetic therapist, step by step , day by day you’ll get to know yourself again, and rebuild a new life . . .

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.

When one goes through a divorce, one is sometimes angry and sad, probably distressed more so for the kids and of course the family's future. It is understandable to feel overwhelmed, anxious and even depressed. I will help you maneuver through the stages brought about from said divorce, such as denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. Then find rational perspective with a "new" role, new communication strategies a sense of co-parenting while relearning your new identity.

Healing from any challenging relationship or building a new healthy one

I specialize in Post-Divorce Growth, and help clients who are either going through a divorce and are wondering if they'll ever get to the other side, or, who just got through one and are still catching their breath. It's rough, and certainly not for the faint hearted, and finding one's footing is easier said than done.

I have be treating women since 2010 who are going through a divorce or gotten divorced to learn how to transition in to the single life. I provide skills and techniques to overcome the shame and fear of moving forward. I assist women in setting limiting and guildlines for boundaries to create balance and peace.

I have forty-two years of academic and personal knowledge regarding marriage. What it takes to get Married and how to stay Married. ( written unpublished) I also have the personal experience of making a decision to divorce and to experiencing many variables of being divorced. I also have the experience of re-marring the same person, while experiencing many of the statistical warnings about re-marrying the same person. I also have a reservoir of personal aftermaths of making such a decision.

The end of a partnership can be painful, but it can also be an opportunity for growth as we reflect on the past, re-evaluate our needs, and explore new possibilities for our future. High-conflict divorce can be uniquely painful and can drag out over an extended period, making it even more challenging to move past the pain of the separation. When children are involved, it becomes even more important to obtain perspective and support in order to minimize the stress on the family system.

I help people who have decided to end their relationships go through the grief and loss process, look at which direction they want to go moving forward and taking the steps to become whole again and start rebuilding their lives. I will help you navigate through the grief and loss process, by offering tools to help you address your emotional needs while helping you have the presence of mind to stay focused in order to address the practical aspects of a break-up or a divorce.
