The loss of a relationship means the loss of so many other things, too.

Not only does the person you were once with feel like a stranger, but you’re left with questions about finances, social circles, and whether you’ll ever find love again. And when you’re managing co-parenting, the court process, or the logistics of the separation itself, it can feel even harder. 

It's okay to feel a lot of different emotions right now—there’s no right or wrong way to process this.

Maybe you’ve been…

  • You may put on a brave face for the world and the people around you, but inside, it’s a different story. It feels like you’re falling apart, but you’re so worried about burdening others with your struggles that you hesitate to reach out even though support is the thing you need most. 

  • You’re dealing with lifestyle and friendship changes that come with a separation, and it often feels like you’re juggling too many balls at once. It’s difficult to balance your own needs and responsibilities with the demands of raising your child, especially when you’re trying to find your own footing at the same time. 

  • As much as you try to push them away, thoughts like “No one will want me,” or “I’ll never find love again” keep creeping back in. As much as you’d like to not blame yourself for what’s happened, it’s easier said than done. 

  • Your world has been turned upside down, and you’re left trying to make sense of it all. You wonder how someone who meant everything to you could walk away, leaving you feeling abandoned and lost. You’re heartbroken and hurt. Everywhere you look, it seems like the people around have the kind of relationship you’re mourning, making the pain sting even more. 

This loss doesn’t define who you are.

My approach

I believe in helping you come to a place of acceptance—and even excitement—for the next phase of your life. 

First and foremost, I’m here to listen. You can tell me what happened or what went wrong, and express yourself knowing that I’ll hold space for your pain and validate what you’re feeling. Then, together, we’ll dive into the deeper stuff: wrestling with the questions you have, navigating what the future looks like for you, and everything in between. When it comes to relationships, many of us find ourselves caught in a cycle, repeatedly pursuing the same kind of people. These patterns can be hard to break, and often, the stories we tell ourselves become deeply ingrained into the way that we believe.

I’m here to help you break these old patterns.

Together, we’ll work on identifying the beliefs and patterns that are blocking your path forward. By recognizing these things that are keeping you “stuck” we can work to let go of what no longer serves you, paving the way for healthier patterns, a new sense of self, and a clear direction. We’ll also explore your desires, dreams, and skills—because reconnecting with yourself is vital for your healing. 

I’ll also encourage you to connect with friends, family, and a community as part of your path forward. As you create a vision for the future, having a reliable support network can make all the difference. Together, we can develop a plan that not only addresses your current struggles in the aftermath of separation but also empowers you to embrace new possibilities and move forward with confidence.
