Struggling With Separation Or Divorce?
Are you facing the challenges of separation, divorce, or uncertainty about ending your marriage?
Worried about how your children are coping with these changes?
Looking for guidance on co-parenting or finding a respectful way to move forward?
Going through separation or divorce can feel overwhelming. You may experience sadness, anger, guilt, or hopelessness, along with physical symptoms such as tension headaches, panic, or fatigue. It’s natural to feel off balance when a major part of your life is shifting.
Children often struggle too—adjusting to moves, missing a parent, or navigating blended families. Supporting their needs while managing your own emotions adds another layer of stress. Even with good intentions, conflict can make healing and moving forward difficult.
Counseling offers support. Together, we can focus on co-parenting strategies, easing family transitions, and approaching separation or divorce in ways that minimize harm. You don’t have to face this alone—there are tools to regain stability, strengthen resilience, and move toward a hopeful future for yourself and your family.

Divorce Counseling Can Be A Steadying Presence During Change And Transition
Divorce is widely recognized as one of life’s most stressful experiences. It can be emotionally overwhelming, financially draining, and logistically complex. Many people also carry feelings of shame or failure when a marriage ends.
The truth is that divorce is incredibly common—and in many cases, it’s the healthiest choice for restoring balance and well-being in a family. Every situation is unique, and there is no single “right” way to navigate separation or divorce.
This is why divorce counseling can be so valuable. Many clients come to therapy while adjusting to new routines, handling legal or financial stress, and learning to parent on their own for the first time. Without support, it’s tempting to “rip the Band-Aid off” and move on quickly, but doing so can bypass important grieving and prevent healthy communication with an ex-partner—especially when co-parenting.
Therapy for divorce and separation provides tools to manage stress, set boundaries, and improve communication. With guidance, you can reduce conflict, support your children, and enter this new chapter with confidence and hope for the future.
Divorce Counseling Teaches You How To Move Forward And Build Healthy Relationships
As a Solution-Focused relational therapist, I have a lot of experience working with individuals, co-parents, and families whose lives have been impacted by separation or divorce. While my counseling services are available to a range of clients, some of the populations I work with in therapy are:
Individuals and co-parents who have initiated the separation or divorce process
Individuals and couples who are considering separation, divorce, or reconciliation (also known as discernment counseling)
Families with school-aged children who are struggling with transition, attachment injury, or the blending of families
Divorced or separated partners who need support with co-parenting and/or parenting plans
Clients who have been court-ordered to counseling as part of their divorce proceedings
Depending on your unique needs and goals for therapy, I will individualize this process in a way that allows you to feel supported and like you’re moving in the right direction.
What To Expect
Counseling will look different for each client, and goals are based on what matters most to you. Solution-Focused Therapy targets immediate, surface-level concerns while also facilitating the deeper, long-term work of recovery. The practical tools you leave counseling with are designed to help you and your family achieve emotional balance, healthier relationships, and the ability to embrace life even after the pain of divorce. As an experienced marriage and discernment counselor, my role is to give you the tools you need to increase your confidence and resilience in the face of change.
It's possible for everyone in your family to find harmony following a separation or divorce. As you learn what it takes to understand and manage your own and each other’s emotions, a sense of balance can be restored. Just because you’ve decided to end your marriage, it doesn’t mean you can’t maintain healthy, fulfilling relationships among your family.
Common Questions About Divorce Counseling…
Won’t therapy just make me feel worse about my separation or divorce?
Therapy is meant to help you process your emotions—not intensify them. While I understand that you might be coming to counseling with feelings of grief, anger, or confusion following a divorce, my job as a therapist is to meet you where you are and individualize the experience in a way that facilitates progress and recovery.
Will therapy have a negative impact on my children?
Therapists are expertly trained to create a safe atmosphere depending on the needs and emotional development of their clients. I always aim to make this process as gentle as possible, especially when children are involved, and I never intend to place blame or pressure on anyone. My goal is to ensure that effective, age-appropriate skills are introduced in the counseling space to nurture healthy coping.
Is it too late to fix things in my marriage or move on from my divorce?
It’s never too late for therapy. Whether you’re still trying to reconcile or have been divorced for a long time, counseling focuses on healing, building resilience, and fostering healthy relationships both now and in the future. Let’s work together to help you find peace and confidence.
