Therapy for Women Navigating Divorce in Colorado
For the woman facing down starting over and finding herself again
You’ve done everything in your power to make your marriage work, and nothing’s changing.
You’re staring down a choice point: stay or go.
Whether you’re considering leaving, already in the thick of divorce, or figuring out life on the other side, I’m here to help.
When you got married, you felt hopeful. What you ended up with is not what you signed up for, even if your marriage looks picture perfect from the outside. You know better. You've spent years being accommodating, doing damn near everything, and feeling unmet. Trying to be the ideal superwoman wife became exhausting. Sometimes your life doesn’t even feel like it belongs to you anymore.
Getting divorced somehow feels embarrassing and even guilt-inducing, and you’re not sure you can spend another day living the status quo.

You know you’ve tried. Talking about having a more mutual partnership hasn’t helped. Yelling about it only makes things worse for you, him, the entire household. Couples therapy may have eased things a bit, but not enough. Sometimes you feel like you’re doing the relationship work for both of you.
Your resigned silence might feel peaceful on the outside to others, but inside you’re burning with feelings: disappointment, hurt, heartbreak, anger, and maybe just the tiniest sliver of hope about the possibility of a different way of living.
Or maybe you married “one of the good ones,” yet still feel unfulfilled and disconnected, and want to leave, despite the immense pressure you feel to stay.
Either way, you sometimes wonder: “What kind of example is staying setting for my kids?”
Whether or not kids are in the mix, you find yourself asking, “Is this really how I want to live my life?”
You might notice your collapse in bed, when, after an endless day of working, emotional, mental, parenting, and assorted other forms of labor, you flinch at his touch or pretend to be asleep, because you’re sick of feeling obligated to sexually labor. (Yes, I said it!)
Where’s the version of sex and eroticism that’s for you, not just about relational maintenance? You wonder: Is that type of erotic aliveness even possible in this marriage? Is my desire dead, or is there a healthy, honest way to bring it back?
Or maybe you feel lots of desire, but it’s definitely not directed at this relationship. Your sexuality may be shifting, emerging, queering, and you’re not sure what to make of it all.
Perhaps the combination of perimenopause, aging parents, juggling your kids, marriage, and overall life has you feeling stretched thin, confused, and frazzled. Yet you know there is a wild, wise, untamed part of you who is longing for freedom, self-expression, connection, and joy.
Your friends get it, and many of them are drowning in it all, too. Talking to them only gets you so far.
People out there on Threads, social media reels, and even the AI bots help you feel validated in it all.
Even so, you find yourself asking, “Now what?”
You feel curious, a little afraid, and maybe a touch of excitement about opening that door behind that question.
I can support you in moving from confusion to clarity, and help you find your inner strength to choose what’s next. In it all, I can guide you as you learn to put people pleasing, good girl conditioning in the rearview mirror, and take the wheel of your one wild and precious life (shoutout to Mary Oliver for that line).
Nothing changes if nothing changes. You already know that. That’s why you’re here. Reach out and let’s see what we can do to lead you back to you!

The word divorce might scare you. That’s okay.
You might call it a midlife meltdown or crisis.
What if it’s an awakening?
What if it’s a new beginning?
What if it’s not breaking up a family, but re-configuring it in a way that invites healing for all? Including you!
That's enough to start.
I meet you where you are, whether you’re still deciding, in the thick of it, or figuring out who you are on the other side. This work is direct, embodied, and shame-free. I won’t tell you to be more grateful, and I won’t push you toward staying or leaving. That’s your call. What I can do is help you get clear about what you want, and look honestly at what’s been in the way: the people pleasing, the shrinking, the over functioning and performing that so many women learn long before a marriage begins. Hint: A lot of that comes from the culture around us, including the outdated expectations about marriage, not from something wrong with you.
Some sessions go deep into grief, anger, relief, and everything in between. Others are practical: how to hold a boundary, how to have the conversation you’ve been avoiding, how to get through a hard day. Divorce lands in the body, so we’ll pay attention to that too. We move at a pace your nervous system can handle, which is often slower than the societal timeline asks of you.
