Divorce

Divorce can rob you of joy.

Experiencing a divorce can make you feel lost.

Your partner’s announcement of wanting a divorce blindsided you, and recovering is not easy. You are left wondering who you are now.

Divorce was not the picture of the future you had in your head.

How does one survive this?

There is no way around the pain.

Even if you initiated the divorce – experiencing anger, sadness, and shame are common feelings.

You have lost the life you have known for some time, leaving you alone as you try to process the emptiness and pain.

Stepping into the unknown is frightening. You may even feel panicked.

And if there are kids (of any age) – life becomes even more complicated.

The pain you feel is raw and powerful.

As your therapist, I can’t take away your pain – but I wish I could. I wish someone could.

Unfortunately, pain is part of the process. You must feel the pain before the healing process can begin. If you don’t let yourself feel the anger, it becomes ongoing resentment.

Ignored sadness turns into depression. Those emotions can get locked in the body, eventually causing problems and keeping you trapped in a cage.

Here’s the good news: this ending brings you to a new beginning with unknown possibilities.

That new beginning can make you feel whole and empowered.

Don’t worry – you can get through this.

You didn’t feel seen, heard, valued, or loved by the end of your relationship. We often seek from others what we have failed to give ourselves.

What would it be like to have those feelings of wholeness and empowerment come from within you? It is possible! When you do this, if you choose to have another relationship, it has a much better chance of succeeding.

This time is your time to come home to YOU!

We can do this together!

My goal is to help you tap into your strengths and resources and feel them in your body while building resilience.

You will work through the emotions you are experiencing within a safe and secure container. In this space, you can examine the beliefs and stories you carry that are causing suffering and holding you back from living your best life. Then, you can begin to create new beliefs and stories to help you launch a more authentic life.

There are powerful parts of yourself that you have locked in a closet for years. Chatting with and unleashing those powerful parts will provide incredible wisdom.

Therapy isn’t easy work, but you can heal from the trauma of divorce.

Feel joy again!

It’s time to stop blaming yourself and your ex-partner – regardless of who made huge mistakes.

Feel the freedom that comes from releasing judgments and healing your wounds! You can regain your power and create a new future by grounding yourself in the here and now.

As Lizzo says, “Put the sing in single.”
