Therapy for Divorce
Let's Find Your New Chapter.
The Remix: Turning the End Into a Fabulous Beginning.
There’s the moment when the papers are signed, the house divided, the future split clean down the middle—
and then, there’s everything that comes after.
The silence. The confusion. The anger that flickers underneath even the smallest things.
The loss of the “we” that once defined you, and the question that keeps circling:
Who am I now?
I work with people in this in-between space—where life looks different, but the emotional terrain hasn’t caught up yet. Where the body still tightens at your ex’s name, or you find yourself replaying the story over and over, trying to locate where things fell apart. Where grief and relief sometimes share the same breath, and you’re not sure which one you’re allowed to feel.
Life feels upside-down and sideways right now (but it doesn't have to stay that way.)
No one talks about how weird it is.
You brace for heartbreak — but not this. Not the dizzying mix of freedom and fear, power and panic. One part of you wants to buy plane tickets and start over in another country; another part wants to crawl into bed and never answer another question about how you’re “doing.”
You miss being known, even by someone who hurt you. You replay the moments you could’ve left sooner — or stayed longer — and it’s exhausting. You look around and realize every corner of your life was built around we, and now it’s just you. And as much as you wanted this new beginning, there are nights you’d give anything to stop feeling like a stranger in your own skin.
That’s the part no one warns you about: the disorientation.
The way freedom can feel like vertigo. The way possibility can feel like grief in disguise. The way being alone can feel both holy and unbearable.
Divorce isn’t just a legal process — it’s an identity earthquake. Everything that once made sense about who you were gets shaken loose. But underneath the rubble is something unbreakable — you. The real you. The woman who’s done performing, done apologizing, done pretending she’s fine.
This is the work I do. I help you stop running from the silence and start listening to it. We find the wisdom inside your emotions — the anger that protects you, the sadness that honors what was, the fear that’s just love in disguise.
Because this next chapter? It’s not about bouncing back.
It’s about burning the script and writing something breathtakingly true.
How Divorce Therapy Works
In Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), we don’t rush to rebuild. We start by unwinding the thread of attachment — the deep emotional bond that once tethered you to your partner.
This is not a neat or tidy process. The body protests. The heart aches in ways words can’t touch. Sometimes you moan, sometimes you go silent, sometimes you want to call them just to feel that thread again — even when you know it’s over. That’s not weakness. That’s biology. That’s attachment dissolving.
You won’t go through that alone. I’ll be there — steady, compassionate, and unflinching — as you feel what’s been too big to face. Together, we’ll name the losses, the mistakes, the regrets, the tenderness that still lingers. You don’t have to turn away from it anymore.
Because before you can move forward, you have to make space for grief — to truly enter it, not just manage it. If we skip that part, it becomes a wedge between you and your own heart.
And then — when something inside you begins to soften, when a small glimmer of curiosity or possibility starts to stir — we’ll begin to turn those insights into action. Not by forcing a plan, but by letting your emotions guide you toward what’s next.
The next phase of your life will need your heart open and alive.
That’s the work. That’s the healing. That’s where you begin again — not as who you were, but as who you’re becoming.
Imagine a life where..
The gains waiting for you in therapy
Imagine a life where you wake up and your chest doesn’t feel heavy before coffee. Where your body feels like it belongs to you again, not to someone else’s expectations, regrets, or old arguments. Where your calendar is full of your choices, not obligations that leave you hollow.
Imagine saying yes to adventures that scare and thrill you, not because anyone else will approve, but because your heart insists. Traveling somewhere you’ve always dreamed of. Speaking your truth at work, at home, in your friendships. Falling in love with life — with yourself — without apology.
Imagine entering a room and feeling whole, unshakable, and unapologetically alive. Where the mistakes, heartbreak, and betrayals you’ve carried for decades have become your badge of honor, and your future glows in front of you like it was made to fit only you.
Imagine a life where you’ve released the regrets that haunted your past. Where the self-critical voice that whispered “you should have done this differently” is finally silent, and you’ve forgiven yourself for every human mistake.
Imagine building the next chapter of your life centered entirely on you — your values, your desires, your wild, uncompromising self. A life where you’re brave enough to grieve fully, bold enough to love again, and wise enough to know that nothing — no heartbreak, no betrayal, no past mistake — can ever define who you are.

Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy for Divorce
How is individual therapy after divorce different from just "plain old" individual therapy?
Because this isn’t just about coping. It’s about reclaiming yourself.
Standard individual therapy often helps people manage symptoms—stress, sadness, anxiety. But therapy after divorce is about deep reconstruction. It’s identity work, attachment repair, and nervous system recalibration—all at once. It’s where we rebuild your inner architecture after a seismic emotional event.
Here’s where my background matters.
I’ve spent over two decades working as a couples therapist—in the trenches with relationships that were breaking, healing, or ending. I understand the anatomy of connection: how two people shape each other, the cycles that keep love alive or tear it apart, the way loss and longing sit side by side. So when we work together individually, you’re not getting generic coping skills—you’re getting someone who can help you understand what happened between you and them and what’s happening now inside you.
As an Emotionally Focused Individual Therapist (EFIT), I don’t just teach tools; I help you transform the emotional patterns underneath. We slow things down so you can feel—really feel—what’s been buried under years of adapting, performing, or caretaking. We trace how those attachment injuries show up in your body, your boundaries, your self-talk, your choices. And then, piece by piece, we build something steadier.
And yes—being an older woman with a full, complex life means I bring something else to the room: perspective. You don’t have to explain the ache of starting over, the exhaustion of always being the strong one, or the quiet panic of asking “Who am I now?” I’ve lived long enough to know that endings can be brutal—and also deeply liberating.
So, this isn’t “plain old” therapy.
I don’t feel sad — I feel pissed. Or flat. Or totally fine until I’m crying in the grocery store. One day I’m unstoppable; the next I’m a puddle. Will therapy even help?
Absof*****lutely.
In our work, we don’t try to “fix” those swings — we follow them. I want you to be BFF with your inner world. Because underneath the rage is grief. Beneath the numbness is overwhelm. And buried in both is the part of you that’s fighting to come back online.
I use Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) to help you make sense of that chaos — not by managing emotions, but by translating them. Your anger? It’s your boundary system saying, no more! Your numbness? It’s your body trying to protect you from overload. Every feeling has intelligence — and once we decode it, you start to feel powerful again.
How long does therapy usually last?
Every person’s process is different (helpful, right?). Some people want a short-term, focused container for a specific issue. Others choose to stay longer and do deeper identity work. We’ll discuss what fits your needs and check in regularly so therapy relevant to your goals.
What if I’m afraid of being judged—for staying too long, leaving, or how I handled things?
People rarely go through divorce neatly. You may carry shame, regret, anger, or even relief. All of it belongs here. My role is to help you understand your emotional logic—not to squash it.
What if I don’t know what I want yet—just that something needs to change?
That’s often exactly where people start. Getting up every morning just isn't enough anymore. You're ready to figure out what's next in your big, beautiful life.
Do you assign homework?
Nope. Although, I might make suggestions from time to time to help you get out of a rut, but not with a worksheet or a thought exercise.
How do I now you're the right therapist for me?
I’m sassy, seasoned, and somewhat wise. I don’t shy away from helping you hover over the places you usually rush past. I want to be right there with you as you start figuring out—maybe for the first time—what you actually want your life to look like.
I’ve been lovingly called a heat-seeking missile because I don’t let my clients breeze past the hurt or the heartache. I know it’s uncomfortable to linger there, but I also know—deep in my bones—that’s where your healing lives.
I bring extensive training in attachment theory, identity, and Emotionally Focused Therapy to help you make sense of your patterns and rebuild from the inside out.
Will we talk about legal, financial, or parenting issues?
We won’t be crunching numbers or reading custody agreements—but we will talk about how all of that lands in your body and your mind. The sleepless nights before a court date, the sting of Venmo-ing your ex, the whiplash of co-parenting when you can barely look at each other—yeah, that’s therapy territory.
