Life Transitions Counseling
Navigate change with clarity, purpose, and balance.
Understanding Life Transitions
Big changes—whether expected or not—can unsettle even the most grounded person. Moving in with a partner, getting married, becoming a parent, navigating midlife, or entering retirement are all major turning points that can stir uncertainty, stress, or loss alongside excitement and opportunity.
These moments can bring questions like: Am I ready for this? Is this who I want to be now? What have I outgrown—and what’s next for me?
Even positive changes can feel disorienting when the old structure of your life no longer fits and the new one hasn’t yet taken shape.
Life transitions can be disruptive and harrowing, but they also hold enormous potential. With reflection and support, they can become gateways to greater self-understanding, renewed direction, and deeper fulfillment.
How Therapy Can Help With Life Transitions
Therapy offers space to pause and make sense of what’s shifting. Together, we’ll explore both the practical challengesand the emotional or symbolic dimensions of this change—whether that means adjusting to daily routines, redefining roles, or exploring the deeper meanings that surface during these pivotal times.
Some people come to this work with specific goals—improving communication with a spouse, navigating the stresses of parenting, or preparing for retirement. Others seek a place to reflect on identity, purpose, and meaning as life evolves. We can do both.
Through a combination of evidence-based strategies and reflective insight, therapy can help you:
Manage stress and decision-making with greater clarity
Strengthen relationships and communication through periods of change
Explore the symbolic and emotional significance of transition
Reconnect with values and direction as you enter the next phase of life
With intention and support, these transitions can become transformative experiences—periods where growth and renewal naturally emerge from uncertainty.
Why Work With Me
I’ve been practicing since 2002, with more than 23 years of experience helping people navigate life’s most meaningful and challenging transitions. My approach blends functional support and practical skill-building with depth-oriented exploration of meaning and identity.
Clients often describe our work as balanced and grounded. I’ll meet you wherever you are—whether you’re seeking concrete strategies for managing change, or wanting to understand how this phase connects to larger patterns in your life. My background in cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal therapy, combined with a Jungian and existential framework, allows us to work on both levels: the outer changes and the inner transformation.
Take the Next Step
Change is inevitable—but growth is intentional. With the right support, life transitions can become turning points toward clarity, connection, and self-discovery.
