When you’re not sure what to do about your relationship

You may feel caught between:

  • wanting things to improve

  • wondering if it’s time to let go

This in-between space can feel overwhelming, confusing, and lonely

You might go back and forth:

  • “Maybe we can fix this”

  • “Maybe this isn’t working anymore”

It’s a difficult space to be in - and an important one

You don’t have to rush a decision.

When relationships feel uncertain, there’s often pressure to “figure things out” quickly

But clarity doesn’t come from rushing

It comes from:

  • slowing down

  • understanding what’s happening

  • making space for both perspectives

What is Discernment Counseling?

Discernment Counseling is a short-term (maximum of 5 sessions), structured process designed to help couples decide what direction to take.

Together, we explore whether to:

  • work on the relationship

  • move toward separation/divorce

  • or take more time to decide

The focus isn’t on fixing everything right away.

It’s gaining clarity about which direction to move your relationship toward - thoughtfully and intentionally.

Common questions about therapy for divorce

  • Therapeutic support can be provided to you, your co-parenting relationship, or your family system in the beginning, middle, and beyond stages of divorce.

  • As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my experience and training has led me to provide support to all parts of your family system in the beginning, middle, or post stages of divorce - individual therapy for you or your kids, family therapy for parents + kids, therapy for your co-parenting dynamic, or discernment counseling for you and your spouse .

  • Absolutely. Whether you have decided, or are still deciding, on divorcing the beginning stages can be overwhelming. I can step alongside you and your co-parent to navigate uncoupling with respect and understanding, and how to support your kids as they step into this chapter with you.

  • Yes! Much of my training and expertise in working with families and divorce has been in the ‘high conflict’ and ‘complex’ arenas. Helping families sift through the complexities and create a safe structure for healing and moving forward is what brought me to this work!

  • That’s okay! Many families ask me to meet with parents and kids to assess how each part of the family is coping and understanding the divorce. Afterwards, I will meet with parents to provide them with feedback about what areas of support might be needed and how I can step in to help.
