Trauma Processing Intensive & Self-Esteem Intensive available September 2025
Your family changed—but no one handed you a roadmap.
Whether your parents split years ago or it’s still fresh, divorce can leave behind confusion, loyalty conflicts, grief, anger, or guilt. You might feel like you’re stuck in the middle, trying to keep everyone else okay while ignoring your own pain.
In therapy, you get space to make sense of it all, and prioritize your own healing.
Why Parental Divorce Can Leave a Lasting Impact:
Even when divorce is “for the best,” it can shake your sense of safety, identity, and belonging. Teens and young adults often carry hidden burdens—feeling responsible, needing to choose sides, or losing a stable sense of home.
Therapy can help you:
-
Process difficult emotions like grief, anger, confusion, or betrayal
-
Talk openly about things you’ve kept quiet to avoid upsetting others
-
Understand how divorce shaped your views on love, trust, and relationships
-
Rebuild your self-worth and confidence when things feel fractured
-
Develop healthy boundaries and communication strategies
-
Release roles you were never meant to carry (like peacemaker or protector)
Who I Work With:
-
Teens caught in the middle of high-conflict divorce
-
Young adults still unpacking childhood experiences of separation
-
Clients from blended families navigating step-parent relationships or co-parenting dynamics
-
Those impacted by one parent’s absence, emotional shutdown, or enmeshment
-
Siblings who had different experiences of the same divorce and now feel disconnected
Therapeutic Approach:
I draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), DBT-informed skills, and trauma-sensitive strategies to help you explore your internal world safely. Whether we’re unburdening old emotional wounds or building present-day coping tools, this space is here for you.
