Life Transitions

Navigating change with understanding and steadiness

Life transitions, whether expected or unexpected, often bring a mix of uncertainty, grief, and possibility. You may find yourself questioning who you are, what you want, or how to move forward. Therapy offers a grounded space to explore these shifts with clarity and compassion.

My Approach

Using relational, psychodynamic, and somatic-informed approaches, along with NVC principles, we make sense of the internal and external pressures that arise during transition. This creates space for insight, grounding, and more intentional choices about what comes next.

Is This Type of Support Right for You?

When Life Transitions Support Can Help:

  • You feel overwhelmed, unmoored, or unsure how to move forward

  • A major change has shifted your sense of self or relationships

  • You are navigating menopause, or supporting a partner who is

  • You are seeking clarity, grounding, or a renewed sense of direction

When It May Not Be the Right Fit:

  • You need crisis support or emergency stabilization

  • You are seeking medical or legal advice related to a transition

  • You prefer a strictly solution-focused approach without emotional exploration

  • You are not open to reflecting on patterns, emotions, or body cues

What Becomes Possible

A clearer sense of direction and identity

More emotional steadiness and resilience

Improved communication with loved ones

A deeper understanding of what matters most

Greater alignment between inner values and daily life

Embrace your own experience so that you can come home to yourself.
