Divorce

When one goes through a divorce, one is sometimes angry and sad, probably extremely worried about the kids and therefore the family's future. What you feel next is a mixture of stress, anxiety and depression. I will help you maneuver the several stages that sometimes come about from divorce: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. Then find rational perspective with a "new" role, new communication strategies in the new role of co-parenting in relearning the new identity.

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.

Questioning or feeling unsatisfied in your relationship; contemplation and navigation of separation; addressing issues of power, voice, and communication challenges

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.

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 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.

Healing from any challenging relationship or building a new healthy one

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'm especially interested in helping clients navigate divorce because of my own personal experience with it. I understand the complexities, frustrations, and grief in a way that is only possible to understand if you're part of "the club," so to speak. I walk clients through all the ups and downs of divorce & help them come out the other side stronger and wiser.
