Divorce, or the legal separation of people who were once married, can be difficult for partners, children, and any other family members involved. Counseling is helpful for each partner and any children affected by the change.
Available Treatment Options
Partners benefit from identifying and processing emotions in therapy. There is often a significant amount of hurt on one or both sides. Children of divorce may struggle to understand why their parents are separating, or they may be caught in a custody battle. Regardless of the specific situation, therapists can assist children in processing their thoughts and feelings and remind them that their parents’ decision isn’t their fault.

That tightness in your chest, laying awake in your bed at night thinking about all the things your “should have” done, pacing the room, the worry if “am I good enough,” worrying if you forgot something, constantly thinking people are thinking negative things about you—these are not healthy thoughts and they most likely did not happen overnight. The goal for all my clients is to help alleviate...

Talking to someone who is non judgmental and whose sole purpose is to come...
Life is challenging. Give yourSelf a space to Speak. Being a woman in today's day and age with increased demands and expanding roles, can lead to feeling overwhelmed and depleted.

None of us are born with the skills to create the life we want. This natural gap can render a life half-lived and rob others of what we have to offer. We know change is the only bridge to our desired future, but we lack a clear plan to navigate it. Counseling is not the answer. Growth is. But counseling can help us learn how good we are at growing and how deep our reservoirs are for creating li...

With 22 years of experience helping people through life changes, I am well equipped to identify the barriers holding people back and the steps needed to move forward.

I’m down to earth, professional and genuinely...
Hardly any of us come out of our early life experiences unscathed. Old ways that we have learned to adapt along the way offer both positive and negative ramifications in our adult lives. Perfectionism, anxiety hypervigilence, depression, over-functioning, substance abuse, people pleasing are all examples of ways in which we struggle, often without knowing why. Helping people understand the sour...
There are times in life when you feel stuck, sad, angry, or indifferent.
