Separation and Divorce
Reshaping Relationships with Dignity and Respect
You may be feeling unsure about whether to continue working on your relationship or begin moving toward separation. You might be in the early stages of a breakup, trying to understand what this change means for you, your partner, and your children, or you may already be divorced and looking for more support or healthier ways to communicate with your coparent. Wherever you find yourself, the possibility or reality of divorce often brings grief, fear, and uncertainty. We are here to help you move forward in a thoughtful, grounded way forward.
When You Are Standing at a Crossroads
Thoughts of ending a relationship or marriage often come after long periods of disconnection, conflict, or emotional strain. You may feel conflicted between the hope of renewing your connection, and the feeling of peace that comes from the idea of starting over. You may worry about making the wrong decision and the impact this could have on your children. It can be hard to find clarity when emotions are high and you are contemplating a decision that will affect your family, lifestyle, finances, wellbeing and every facet of life.
From an attachment perspective, the potential of relationship loss can be very disorienting. Whether you are uncertain, seeking clarity, or ready to part ways, whether you are initiating a seperation or being dragged through one, the loss of a familiar bond and family closeness can be deeply destabilizing.
How We Help
We offer a steady and supportive space to slow this process down. In our work together, we focus on helping you understand what has led to this point in time and what you want to create for your life moving forward. Rather than advising you what do (which we cannot do) or push you toward reconciliation or separation, we help you clarify your values, emotions, needs, hopes, dreams, and next steps with care.
If you come on your own, we support you in making sense of your experience, processing grief and uncertainty, and strengthening your ability to move forward with confidence and self-trust. If you attend therapy with your partner or coparent we help facilitate conversations that support honesty, respect, and clarity.
For those navigating separation or divorce, we support transitions that are as thoughtful and amicable as possible, especially when ongoing coparenting will remain part of your life. For couples with children, we keep the children’s wellbeing and parent-child relationships at the center of our work.
Our Approach
Our approach is rooted in attachment and guided by Emotionally Focused Therapy. We understand relationship transitions as moments where emotional safety and connection are deeply impacted. Healing and clarity come from slowing down, honoring emotional experiences, and responding with intention. Our goal is to support you in a way that feels grounded, respectful, and aligned with what matters most to you. Depending on your situation, we offer individual, couple or family therapy services.
What Becomes Possible
With therapy, you may gain clarity about your needs and feel more steady in your decisions. Some people find renewed understanding and choose to re-engage in their relationship or marriage and focus on repair and renewal. Others move forward separately with greater peace, dignity, and emotional stability. Whatever the outcome, we can help you navigate this chapter with care rather than regret.
Moving Forward
If you are thinking about ending your relationship or marriage, or are in the process of seperation or divorce, you do not have to do it alone. Therapy can help you and your loved ones move through change with care and consciousness.
