When Divorce Feels Like The Answer - And That Thought Breaks Your Heart
I consider it an honor and a privilege to help you when you find yourself challenged by the need to make changes in your life - especially if your need to pivot has been forced on you by unfortunate decisions and/or actions made by another…I do not heap guilt or shame on anyone. I offer insight and the tools to change.
I have completed both Level 1 and Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy combined with John Gray’s theory of hormonal stress responses in men and women, and attachment theory, in my therapy work with you as a couple.
I have completed the one year training with TeenWisdom to be certified as a teen life coach. I have certifications in both domestic violence and batterers intervention. And, I have a certification in grief counseling. All of which I use when helping the entire family, or when you come to me for help with co-parenting.

Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change
So, here is how I think about your situation…Choose your hard…being in an unhappy, unfulfillng marriage is hard. Being divorced is hard…this IS a choice, and a kind, compassionate, understanding therapist can help you decide which choice you can live with.
You are at a fork in the road. You have a decision to make - stay married or file for divorce. No matter which direction you go, your life will be different.
If you knowingly choose to stay in a marriage you question, how long will you be able to hang on?
If you choose to get divorced, your life will change completely. Financial planners will tell you what you are worth, monetarily, on any given day, and what it takes to liquidate and split investments, should you decide to separate/divorce.
Attorneys will tell you how long it will take and how much it will cost to get divorced. They don't do coaching, emotional counseling or therapy, so neither take into consideration the tidal wave of emotions that will hit you.
My job is to equip you with emotional tools which allow you to have an additional perspective. A different perspective allows you to make informed choices – because life is full of choices. I help you discover which choices you can live with…
A Failed Marriage Creates Unexpected Emotions
Grief for the loss of the kind of marriage you had hoped for, regret over fights and misunderstandings, wishing you could go back in time, confusion about what is really best to do... NOW WHAT???
I can offer you a safe quiet place to examine your options, what each will feel like, and what you can live with, and what you can live without. No shame. No guilt. No accusations. No stupid questions. So, it will feel more like coaching rather than counseling or therapy.
If you choose to stay married, your marriage will be so much better than before, because you will have a better understanding of yourself and your spouse. If you decide that your marriage will never work, then I can help you keep the divorce process amicable/civil so that no further damage is done to either of you, or your children.
