My Services
Individual Therapy
Individuals typically seek therapy because of emotional or physical pain. You may have feelings such as sadness, loneliness, worry or anger. You may also have feelings that you don’t understand. There might be situations that feel out of control in your relationships or in your daily life. In my practice I strive to create a safe and compassionate environment where you can share your thoughts and feelings and explore your life circumstances. During our sessions we will work together to gain an understanding of what is going on so that you can heal and live a more peaceful and healthy life.
Some reasons you might seek individual therapy:
You feel sad, angry or depressed more than what seems healthy
There was an event or trauma in your life that is causing you emotional pain
You feel anxious or worried about something and cannot relax
You have resentments that you cannot let go of
You have struggles in one or more of your relationships and you want to understand your role
“Healing is a journey that takes courage. You don’t have to do it alone.”
Couples Therapy
Much of my practice is devoted to helping people create connections with others that are healthy and satisfying. I see couples in various stages of their relationships. Whether you have been together for a short period of time or many years, it is never a wrong time to seek help for your relationship.
Whether you are just starting to experience difficulties or they have been there for a long time, I believe that when you understand the problematic reactions and patterns that you and your partner experience, you can begin to go deeper about what drives those negative reactions to one another.
From this understanding, we can work together to develop new ways of interacting so that you can have a more connected and compassionate relationship.
Some reasons you might seek couple’s therapy:
You and your partner feel disconnected and distant from one another
You and your partner feel as though you keep having the same conflict over and over
There has been trauma in your relationship such as an affair or other betrayal
You and your partner get along “fine” but want a connection that is deeper
You and your partner have talked about divorce but really want to give your marriage another chance
Separation & Divorce Work
I have helped couples in various stages of pre-separation, separation and divorce. I have seen the damage that can be done to children when conflict cannot be managed, and I am committed to helping couples remain peaceful through the challenges they face during separation and divorce so they can focus on making decisions that are best for themselves and their children.
Pre-Separation Counseling
Deciding to separate or divorce is a big step. Sometimes couples are unsure whether they are ready or willing to make this big decision for themselves and their family. Pre-Separation counseling can help you work through the questions you might have about whether it is best to separate, what is best for your children, what processes exist and how a divorce might look for your family.
My goal is to help you talk through the issues and find the answers you need to help inform your decisions. I believe that when separation and divorce are inevitable it doesn’t have to mean disaster for your family. I will work with you to help you make well-thought-out decisions before, during and after separation so that you can move forward with your lives in a peaceful way.
Co-Parenting Counseling and Mediation
Whether you are in the beginning stages of separation or divorce, or further along, you may have times where you need support with communication and decision making. I have helped couples create legal Parenting Plans as well as supported co-parents as they navigate how to be positive and cooperative co-parents with one another.
Collaborative Divorce
Collaborative Practice is a model of family law that offers families an alternative to litigation. In this process, the couple agrees to be a part of a Collaborative Team which consists of two attorneys, at least one Collaborative Coach, and sometimes a Financial Neutral and a Child Specialist. The Collaborative Team works together with the family through the process of separation and divorce in a way that maintains respect, integrity and attention to the needs of all members of the family. The Collaborative Process is very effective at fostering creative solutions to parenting issues and property and financial issues.
As a Collaborative Divorce Coach, my focus is on helping couples navigate the emotional aspects of the divorce while also assisting couples to create Parenting Plans that meet the needs of both parents as well as the children.
