 You have been in a relationship for so long, but now your single and find yourself alone 

This may cause confusion, feeling lost, and now you are  unsure what to do 

You are looking to find yourself again, but don’t know where to begin…

Maybe you thought your relationship would be forever, but you have found yourself back "on the market". Unfortunately, nothing is straightforward because the market has majorly changed since you were last there. You may be asking yourself questions that you thought years ago you would never have to ask again.

If you are struggling with healing from a separation or divorce, I understand how difficult that can be, and I can help you in finding relief and pleasure again. Right now, you may be feeling little to no interest in doing the things that you used to be excited about. Or you may be frustrated with people/situations that you have no control over. You are dealing with loneliness, hopelessness, or the realization that you will never find love again. Maybe, you are experiencing a loss that comes along with a grieving process and emotional suffering. Perhaps with everything going on, you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed by the lengthy and confusing divorce process. Now you’re just trying to pick up the pieces and rediscover who you are. Falling in love with you and who you are is a journey that takes time. However, your future self will thank you.

I want you to know that what you are experiencing is normal, but working with an online therapist means you have a place to get validation and healing. Even if you are feeling overwhelmed with feelings like these, I can help. I specialize in divorce/separation recovery and co-parenting.
