Divorce

The decision to end a marriage can be upsetting and filled with a number of opposing emotions. Though common in the U.S. (fifty percent of marriages end in divorce), each divorce is unique and usually an emotional and painful process for all the parties involved. During and after a divorce, you might experience feelings of loss, anger, depression, rejection, shock, regret, doubt, guilt, betrayal, bitterness or fear. Seeing a therapist can really help an individual to manage these and other tough feelings. While going through a divorce, some couples choose to see a therapist together, which can help them to work together to end the marriage in a constructive and practical way. Therapy is also beneficial for children experiencing divorce. Children often feel a strong sense of loss in the aftermath of a divorce and a mental health professional can help them to cope in healthy ways.

Divorce can leave you shattered. Even if you saw it coming, you can feel like someone took a hammer to your life. No one around you comprehends how out of control you feel. Mining this distressing experience to understand what went wrong can be painstaking and difficult, but insights gained about yourself and your relationship patterns can help you avoid repeating mistakes and lead to greater satisfaction in the future.

In 2021, I filed for divorce, enduring a three-year process that included a three-day trial with 10 witnesses and cost over $300,000 collectively. After the ruling, my ex-husband filed a supersedeas and an appeal with The Appellate Court. Now a year into the process, and with extensions from his second appellate attorney, we've received the opening brief. This appeal will take another three years, potentially overturning the decision and setting a legal precedent that could change the law.

Divorce isn't something that just happens, it's an outcome of deep dysfunction within a marriage. Marriages end for many reasons: betrayal, emotional and physical danger, infidelity, manipulation... They're often necessary in order for the individual parties to have a chance to rebuild health within themselves that was impossible within the marriage.

Divorce is one of the most stressful events a person can experience. I know because I've been through it. Because of that, I'm passionate about helping people through the divorce and finding healing. On the other side is a happy life - I know because I've seen it so many times. I typically start by processing the pain and loss of divorce before focusing on building a new life that you love.
