THERAPY FOR DIVORCE IN MINNETONKA
Navigate divorce as a family.
You’re not sure where the Road of Divorce is taking you next.
You never pictured yourself getting divorced. This wasn’t in the original plan when you first got married. But here you are, making the hardest (and oftentimes, best) decision you’ll have to make for your family.
You and your co-parent may have different opinions on how to navigate a path forward for your family. You might be feeling stuck in figuring out what’s best for your child(ren) and collaborating with your former spouse. Perhaps, you see your child struggling with the news and change of divorce and are interested in giving them a safe space to process..
Support is always available for your family no matter what stage of divorce you’re in. Whether your family is contemplating divorce, in the midst of litigation, or in the beyond stages, I’m here to step alongside you, your children, and your family as you find clarity and adjust to these changes that’s effective for everyone.
You might be asking yourself these questions:
How do we uncouple and still maintain a healthy co-parenting relationship?
How do we talk about the kids?
What kind of boundaries do we set?
What is the best way to support our children’s feelings?
What happens next?

Therapy for Divorce can help you continue parenting together as a team
Every parent wants the best for their kids. Families are resilient when they have support to guide them through the toughest of times.
Your kids likely have big questions, big feelings, and a lot of confusion. As do you. Questions and feelings like these from our kids can be challenging and overwhelming for any set of parents to navigate, but especially for parents that are also divorcing at the same time.
I support co-parents in: 1) Aligning around messaging for kids about divorce and family, 2) Differentiate between marital and co-parenting problems, 3) Grieve the ending of your marriage and find healing within your co-parenting relationship, and 4) Develop strategies to support your child(ren)’s emotions.
I also support children and teens as they navigate and adjust to the new world of ‘Two Homes, One Family’. Kids can benefit from having a safe, neutral environment to: 1) Ask the big questions, 2) Gain clarity for themselves about their past, present, and future, and 3) Process any emotions or perspectives that come up for them.

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 - individual therapy for you or your kids, family therapy for parents + kids, or therapy for your co-parenting dynamic.
-
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.
-
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.
