Searching for a Divorce Therapist in the Dallas–Fort Worth Area?

Divorce is one of the most painful life experiences a person can endure. It doesn’t just end a marriage — it reshapes daily life, identity, family dynamics, and future dreams. The grief can feel overwhelming, the emotions unpredictable, and the path forward unclear. That’s where divorce therapy comes in.

As a divorce therapist, my role is to walk with you through this transition — not to erase the pain, but to help you process it in a way that allows for healing, self-discovery, and eventual acceptance. My work is grounded in both specialized training and ongoing research into divorce and marital conflict.

Training That Shapes Divorce Therapy

Grief Therapy

Divorce is often described as a kind of death — the loss of a partner, shared plans, and a familiar way of life. Understanding the science of grief and loss is essential in this work. Grief therapy equips me to help clients honor their emotions, move through stages of loss, and find ways to rebuild a sense of wholeness.

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)

Many people try to suppress or dismiss their emotions during divorce, believing that “toughness” will help them get through. EFIT takes the opposite approach. It invites you to turn toward your feelings rather than away from them. By learning to acknowledge and respond to your emotions with compassion, you can move from pain to clarity, and from self-blame to self-acceptance.

Narrative Therapy

The story we tell ourselves about divorce matters. Narrative therapy helps you step back from the rawness of your situation and reframe it as a story with meaning — one that does not define your worth or your future but reflects resilience and growth.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Divorce often stirs up old wounds and internal conflicts. Through IFS, we explore the different “parts” of you — the hurt, the angry, the hopeful — and help them work together instead of pulling you apart. This inner harmony can be vital in rebuilding your sense of self.

Beyond Modalities: A Therapist Who Specializes in Divorce

What makes divorce therapy unique in my practice is not only the modalities I draw from but also my focus as a researcher. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Conflict Analysis and Resolution, studying interpersonal conflict with a special emphasis on divorce and marital conflict. This dual lens — therapist and researcher — allows me to bring both compassion and evidence-based insight into the therapy room.

In addition to offering virtual divorce therapy across Texas, I also manage a Domestic Mediation practice in Metro Atlanta, where I oversee private divorce and family mediations. These cases often involve child custody, child support, division of assets, parenting plans, and more. This breadth of experience further strengthens my authority in guiding individuals through both the emotional and practical challenges of divorce.

I also lead a virtual divorce support group, offering a space where individuals can share experiences, learn coping tools, and feel less alone in their journey.

Moving Forward

Divorce may be one of the hardest chapters of your life, but it doesn’t have to define you. With the right support, it can also be a time of healing, transformation, and renewal. If you are navigating divorce in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, know that compassionate help is available.
