Therapy for
Life Transitions

Are you struggling to adapt in a new phase of life?

Here are some transitions I’ve helped people with….

  • Starting college

  • Starting a first job

  • Finding a partner; ending a relationship

  • Becoming (or choosing not to become) a parent; pregnancy and pregnancy loss

  • Caregiving for loved ones with dementia or other serious illnesses

Some transitions feel like a natural progression, while others can shake us to the core.

Transitions, whether joyful or sad, cause stress. We often feel increased anxiety as our role and identity changes.

  • Sometimes we move into a new stage of life because of a loss, and we have to manage our grief along with our new role.

  • We may be thrilled about change, but it still raises complicated emotions.

  • Change can be more difficult because of past trauma that we have experienced

  • In any transition, we can feel unexpected and sometimes conflicting emotions: love, fear, pride, guilt, happiness or anger, to name a few.

How I Can Help You With Life Transitions

I have helped many clients to develop new tools to cope with change, to be more self-compassionate, and to manage guilt and feelings of loss. Sometimes people need a helping hand.

Skills you’ll gain:

  • Better Coping Skills: Learn healthy ways to manage your emotions.

  • Accessing your resources: Recognize the strengths and internal and external resources you already have.

  • Helping others while taking care of yourself: Preserve your health and well-being in demanding situations.

  • Setting boundaries and limits with others: Recognize your limits and learn how to communicate them.

What Therapy With Me Is Like

I offer a confidential space for you to talk about the full range of your emotions. I am a strength-based therapist, and will offer you understanding and support without judgment. I want to help you build trust in yourself and your decisions.
