Individual Therapy for Divorce in Wellesley, Massachusetts

Where you find your footing, your voice,
and your next chapter.

Your life just got turned inside out and you just want to be happy.

Does this sound like you?

Your emotions run your day - one minute you're up and the next you come crashing down.

The roles and relationships that once defined you don’t fit anymore—and you’re not sure who you are without them.

You try to stay strong, but the quiet moments bring a flood of sadness or self-doubt.

You find yourself drowning in guilt, shame, or over-responsibility.

You want to feel like yourself again but you don't know where to start.

Healing with EFIT

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) gives you a structured, research-based path through the pain, confusion, and identity shifts that come with divorce. Whether you’re heartbroken, relieved, furious, guilty, or simply exhausted, our work together will give you a structured path forward.

Stabilize Your Nervous System + Make Sense of the Story

Divorce can stir up a mix of emotions—relief, guilt, anger, numbness, hope—often all in the same day. You’re not “too much,” and you’re not unstable. Your body is responding to a major shift.

In this first stage of EFIT, we slow everything down so you can actually hear yourself again.

Together, we’ll help you:

Make sense of your emotional reactions instead of feeling blindsided by them.
Understand what your body is trying to tell you—and stop dismissing or overriding those signals.
Interrupt the survival patterns (shutting down, overfunctioning, people-pleasing, bracing for impact) that kept you going during the marriage but are suffocating now.
Build real self-compassion, not the “be kind to yourself” advice you’ve already tried—compassion that shifts how you respond to yourself in hard moments.

Transform the Core Wounds Driving Your Patterns

I'm not looking for you to cognitively know how you feel - research shows us that doesn't really help with change.
We go beneath the surface to the emotional places you’ve been avoiding, over-managing, or powering through—without drowning in them.

In this stage you will:

Gently access the emotions underneath the reactions (the fear behind the anger, the loneliness under the relief, the shame hiding under the guilt).
Reprocess any injuries from the marriage.
Release emotional burdens you’ve been carrying for years either from your family of origin or from attachment injuries sustained in the marriage.
Shift the meaning you’ve assigned to your divorce (“I failed,” “I should’ve tried harder,” “Something is wrong with me”) to messages of self-compassion.

Rebuild Your Identity + Move Forward With Confidence

Once the emotional intensity settles, we turn toward your future—not the one you expected, but the one you get to choose.

In this stage you will:

Discover who you are now that you’re no longer married.
Reconnect to needs, preferences, dreams, boundaries, and desires you may have lost in the marriage.
Build emotional confidence: the ability to trust your inner cues instead of second-guessing everything.
Create a vision for your next chapter—one that feels exciting, one that gets you jumping out of bed in the morning.

You Next Chapter is Waiting

It’s not a consolation prize—it’s a turning point. This is where you finally get to choose who you become and what your life feels like. The ground may feel shaky now, but on the other side is a steadier, stronger, more grounded you.

I can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions About Individual Therapy for Divorce in Wellesley, Massachusetts

What if I feel completely overwhelmed right now?

Then you’re in the right place. Most people come to me when the ground has dropped out from under them. Even though it's painful, you're right where you need to be. No one should tell you to get over it, make nice, or keep your eyes on the positive. Right now, feeling broken open means you've got a beating heart. Let me help you grieve fully so when you're ready to rebuild - it's on solid ground.

I’m crying all the time (or totally numb). Is that normal?

Normal. Not normal. Who the hell cares when you’re in pain? What matters is tuning into the data inside you—your body, your emotions, your reactions. That’s where your healing begins.

Yes, divorce hits the nervous system hard. Unraveling attachments is exhausting and intense. Grief, anger, relief, numbness, panic—and everything in between—can feel overwhelming. You don’t have to push it down or figure it out alone.

How will therapy actually help me?

You need someone to hold the pain and confusion with you. My job—truly—is to be emotionally available in a way that most people in your life simply can’t be right now. Friends get overwhelmed, exhausted, or they’re struggling in their own ways. I don’t get worn out. I’m here to help you hold the messiness, ask the questions that open new possibilities, and guide you toward understanding yourself in a deeper, kinder way. My hope is that eventually you end therapy being BFFs with your inner world.

What if my situation is “too messy”?

There is no “too messy” for me. Bad behavior, betrayal, conflict, kids caught in the middle—this is the reality of divorce. You can share it all with me.

What if I’m the one who initiated the divorce and I feel guilty?

You can hold grief and relief at the same time. That doesn’t make you cold or selfish. It makes you honest. I’ll help you release the guilt and find compassion for yourself.

What if I’m scared I’ll never feel like myself again?

Honestly? Most women I work with feel exactly that way in the beginning. Divorce changes your nervous system, your routines, your identity—of course you don’t feel like “you.” But this version of you isn’t gone. She’s buried under overwhelm, heartbreak, relief, guilt, or sheer exhaustion.
My job is to help you find your way back to yourself—not the old self you’re trying to recreate, but the wiser, clearer, steadier version who’s emerging right now, even if you can’t feel her yet. And you don’t have to do that alone.

How long does therapy take?

There is no way for me to answer that. I do strive to always be relevant to your goals. After a few sessions, you should see steady progress in how you function and feel. But there’s no timeline—because you’re not a widget.

Do you work with women only?

I work with adults of all genders navigating divorce, but many women specifically seek me out because they want a therapist who is grounded, direct, warm, and not afraid to talk about the emotional and practical realities of this transition. I’m also a highly trained couples therapist, and I saw a need for this service in my work.
