Divorce Therapy in Richmond, VA
Richmond Divorce Therapy for High-Achieving Women & LGBTQ+ Adults
If you’re searching for divorce therapy in Richmond, VA, you may be in the middle of a transition that has changed far more than your relationship status. Divorce can affect your sense of stability, identity, and direction — even when it was the right decision.
Many people describe this season as confusing. Some days feel manageable. Other days bring grief, anger, loneliness, or a quiet sense of loss that is hard to explain.
Divorce therapy in Richmond can help you slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and begin to rebuild a life that feels like yours again.
When life after divorce feels disorienting, heavier than you expected, and somehow… lonelier than you thought it would be.

Why People Seek Divorce Therapy in Richmond
What Divorce Therapy Can Help With in Richmond, VA
Divorce therapy is not about being told how to move on or what you “should” feel. It’s about understanding what this transition has stirred up and how to care for yourself through it.
In divorce therapy, we may focus on:
Processing grief and complicated emotions
Understanding patterns from your relationship
Reconnecting with your sense of self
Building emotional steadiness during change
Navigating boundaries with former partners and family
Clarifying what you want moving forward
Healing after divorce is not linear. Therapy offers support as things shift and unfold.
I work with women and LGBTQ+ folks who are navigating life after divorce and long-term relationships.
I’m a licensed therapist and art therapist based in Richmond, VA. My approach is relational, reflective, and grounded in real life. I’m not a blank slate therapist, and I don’t believe there is a “correct timeline” for healing after divorce.
Many people I work with were the emotional anchor in their relationship. They carried responsibility, compromise, and care for a long time. After divorce, they often feel unsure of who they are without that role.
Therapy is a place to explore that gently and honestly.
