Life Transitions Therapy

I work with adults from early adulthood through their senior years, who are navigating the emotional challenges and transitions that come in life.

Life has a way of shifting the ground beneath you — sometimes gradually, sometimes all at once. A role changes. A relationship evolves. Something you expected doesn't happen, or something you didn't expect does. And suddenly you're asking questions you didn't anticipate: Who am I now? What do I actually want? What comes next?

These transitions affect people differently. Some feel disoriented despite lives that look stable and full. Others are navigating visible positive shifts like starting a career, getting married, having kids — or challenging life disruptions like divorce, illness, grief and loss. All can be struggling to find their footing.

Whatever is shifting for you, you don't have to make sense of it alone.

Common Life Transitions

You may be navigating:

• School to career start up

• Career changes or burnout

• Relationship shifts or divorce

• Aging parents or caregiving

• Empty nest transitions

• Hormonal changes

• Grief or loss

• Questions about identity, purpose, or direction

How I Work

We create space to explore what this transition means for you — what feels confusing, what feels heavy, and what feels ready for attention. My approach is grounded and reflective, helping you understand yourself more deeply as you move through this chapter.

Therapy Can Help You

• Make sense of what's changing

• Understand your emotional responses

• Explore what you want moving forward

• Feel more grounded and supported

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if what I'm going through is a normal transition or something that needs professional support?

If a transition is affecting your mood, your relationships, your sense of identity, or your ability to move forward — that's a signal worth paying attention to. Transitions don't have to be catastrophic to be disorienting. Even positive changes can stir up grief, anxiety, or uncertainty that deserves space to be processed.

I don't have one big crisis — just a general sense that everything is shifting. Is that enough to bring to therapy?

Absolutely. In fact that diffuse, hard-to-name unsettledness is one of the most common reasons people seek therapy. You don't need a single identifiable problem. Feeling unmoored, uncertain about what comes next, or disconnected from who you are right now — those are real and meaningful things to explore.

I'm going through something most people would consider positive — a promotion, kids leaving home, retirement approaching. Why does it feel so hard?

Because transitions — even wanted ones — involve loss and change. When a role ends or changes, part of your identity shifts with it. Therapy creates space to acknowledge what's genuinely hard about a change even when you also feel grateful for it. Both things can be true at once.

Can therapy help me figure out what I actually want next?

Yes — and this is some of the most meaningful work people can do. Therapy isn't just about reducing distress. It's also about reconnecting with your own values, desires, and sense of direction. Many people find that the clarity they've been looking for starts to emerge when they finally have a space and support to think and feel their way through.
