Divorce and Separation Recovery Counseling 

You're Not Alone

Divorce can shake up your whole world. Whether you’re the one who made the decision, you feel blindsided, or you’re somewhere in between, the end of a relationship is rarely simple. You may be sorting through anger, grief, guilt, fear, or even relief—and that’s all valid.  Navigating these feelings while managing practical concerns like co-parenting, financial adjustments, and changing relationships can feel overwhelming. 

You don’t have to figure this out by yourself. Divorce counseling is a place to talk, process, and start building your next chapter with some support along the way.

Why Divorce Counseling?

Divorce counseling helps you navigate the emotional, practical, and relationship challenges that come with ending a marriage or long-term partnership. Whether you're working through the decision to divorce, adjusting to life after separation, or trying to co-parent in a healthier way, this is a space where you can be honest and real—without judgment.  Divorce counseling provides a safe, supportive space where you can process your emotions, gain insight, and develop tools to cope more effectively. Through counseling, many people find healing, clarity, and a renewed sense of control over their lives.

Why Work With Me?

As an out gay man and experienced therapist, I know what it feels like to sit across from someone and try to untangle the complicated, painful stuff you’ve worked hard to keep buried. I know the weight of expectations—family, culture, identity—and how divorce can stir all of that up.

I also know that sometimes it’s just easier to talk to someone outside of your life, someone who gets it, and who won’t use your story against you. I’m here to meet you wherever you are on your journey, whether you’re dealing with divorce, parenting challenges, discrimination, or grief. I am deeply committed to respecting your experience and supporting your healing. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and practical tools tailored to your needs.

I’ve worked with people from every walk of life.  Men and women, mothers and fathers, people across the spectrum of sexuality —all kinds of people just trying to figure life out. If you want a place to be real and not feel like you’re walking on eggshells, I can offer that.

The Benefits of Divorce Counseling

The benefits of counseling during and after divorce extend beyond emotional relief. Many clients experience:

  • Clarity: Understand your feelings and decisions more clearly.  Begin to better redevelop your personal needs and goals.

  • Support: Gain tools to manage stress, anxiety, and depression. You don’t have to carry the weight of this alone.

  • Communication Tools: Learn how to talk to your ex-partner, your kids, your family—without causing more harm.

  • Co-Parenting Strategies: Work on showing up as the best possible parent for your child during a difficult time.

  • Emotional Healing: Grieve the loss, manage guilt, work through anger, and make room for self-compassion.

  • Identity Work: Reconnect with who you are outside of this relationship.

  • Reduced Conflict: Learn how to disengage from toxic patterns, even when tensions are high.

  • Considering the future: Receive support in rebuilding life after divorce with confidence and hope.

Divorce counseling doesn’t fix everything overnight, but it can make the process more manageable and less isolating. By working through the difficulties in a safe, confidential setting, you can emerge stronger and more empowered to create the life you want.

How I Can Help

I offer counseling for:

  • Individuals going through divorce or separation

  • Couples who want to navigate the process more thoughtfully

  • Co-Parents working to support their kids in healthy, stable ways

  • LGBTQIA+ Individuals and Couples who may face unique challenges like limited legal protections, community pressures, or loss of chosen family

Sometimes it helps just to have a place where you can say the things you don’t feel comfortable saying to your friends or family. Sometimes you need help rebuilding your life after divorce. Sometimes you need to figure out who you are now.

Whatever you're carrying, we can work through it together.
