Psychologist, Psy.D
Although I do not work with couples, I do work frequently with people adjusting to life during and after a divorce. It can feel like a failure or the death of a dream of the perfect, intact family. Sometimes it is hard to picture a new normal so coming up with new identity and plans for the future is helpful. Working with an ex partner to co-parent can bring even more challenges but there are ways to help reduce conflict and mange the new life well.

Successful negotiation of divorce is a frequent focus for my clients. Sometimes they will begin therapy while they are still married but are contemplating exiting the marriage, and sometimes clients present while divorcing or post divorce. There are a host of dimensions to this work. Often considering parenting and co-parenting is needed. Sometimes there are custody issues to work out. There could be a need for assistance in re-unifying or healing a relationship between a parent and child. Then for the parents there tend to become issues related to resuming dating, figuring out how to negotiate a new relationship in the context of parenting, and many other concerns. These are areas that I have experience with, both professionally, and personally. As a therapist I have worked clinically with countless people going through divorce, parents and children included. I also worked as a court employed child custody evaluator, in which I addressed high conflict divorcing couples. Personally, though, my life has been impacted by divorce both when I was child of divorcing parents and then as an adult when I went though my own divorce while co-parenting two young girls. I have come to realize that divorce is among the biggest stressors people can go through, and that helping the parents to divorce thoughtfully can have huge benefits to all parties involved. In my clinical work with divorce I use a variety of approaches. Sometimes I serve as a coach to one of the divorcing parties. Sometimes I work with the two parties to uncouple consciously. Such work with both parties can involve mediation, but so too can it involve ongoing coaching and support.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am deeply committed to supporting couples and families navigating the complex emotional landscape of divorce. My aim is to facilitate healthy communication, foster understanding, and encourage the necessary resilience during this challenging time. It's important to remember that while divorce marks the end of a marital relationship, it doesn't have to signify the collapse of a family structure. With appropriate therapeutic guidance, the process can lead to personal growth, emotional healing, and healthier relationships moving forward. My goal is to provide a safe space where each individual can express their feelings, concerns, and hopes for the future. Let's work together to minimize conflict and prioritize the wellbeing of everyone involved, particularly when children are part of the equation.
