Life After Divorce Therapy in Richmond, VA

Heal, Rebuild, and Rediscover Yourself

This isn’t how you imagined life would be. Divorce or separation can feel like stepping into a world you didn’t plan for—full of uncertainty, big emotions, and questions you’re not sure how to answer. Maybe you’re newly separated, recently divorced, or even just thinking about leaving a relationship. Whatever stage you’re in, it’s normal to feel grief, fear, guilt, relief…sometimes all at the same time.

I offer Life after divorce therapy virtually in Richmond, VA (and virtually across Virginia and Florida) for women and LGBTQ+ folks who are ready to process these feelings, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with who they are outside of a relationship. You don’t have to do this alone—you deserve support, clarity, and a safe space to rediscover yourself.

Ending a relationship isn’t just losing a partner—it’s losing a vision of your life, your daily routines, and sometimes even the version of yourself you once knew. Many clients tell me they feel:

  • Uncertain about who they are outside their marriage

  • Like they’ve lost self-trust or confidence in decision-making

  • Afraid of being single or starting over

  • Overwhelmed by co-parenting or ongoing contact with an ex

  • Waves of grief, sadness, or guilt that feel unpredictable

It’s not just you. These feelings are incredibly common, and they deserve attention, care, and a safe place to be worked through.

What Life After Divorce Often Feels Like

What Working Together Looks Like

I offer virtual sessions across Virginia and Florida. You can expect a therapy space that is:

  • Trauma-informed, deeply affirming, and centered around your lived experience

  • A blend of talk therapy, expressive arts, and nervous system regulation

  • Designed to go at your pace, especially if slowing down feels unfamiliar or unsafe

  • Inclusive of your identities as a woman, queer person, parent, partner, or professional navigating complex roles

In our time together, we’ll process grief, build confidence, develop coping tools, and explore ways to move forward without feeling like you’re leaving yourself behind.

How I Can Help

In life after divorce therapy, we focus on helping you process emotions, rebuild identity, and gain practical tools for moving forward. My approach is personal, warm, and flexible—you’re allowed to take things at your own pace. Together, we might:

  • Use creative expression like art, journaling, or movement to process emotions when words feel stuck

  • Practice grounding and somatic techniques to calm your nervous system and feel more present

  • Explore past relationship patterns and attachment dynamics to understand how they show up now and in future relationships

  • Focus on self-compassion and self-trust—you’re allowed to grieve, to feel unsure, and to explore what matters most to you

The goal isn’t just to get through this—it’s to reconnect with yourself, your values, and what you want your next chapter to feel like.

    Anxiety often shows up as this constant buzzing that wont go away. It’s the tightness in your chest or the racing thoughts that take you out of the present moment and into the fear of the unknown.
