Life Transitions
Support When Everything Is Changing
Life doesn't always fall apart dramatically. Sometimes it just quietly shifts — and somewhere in the middle of a career change, a move, an empty nest, or a relationship ending, you look up and realize you're not sure who you are anymore or what comes next.
Transitions — even positive ones — can shake your identity, your relationships, and your sense of purpose. That disorientation is real, and it deserves real support.
I work with people navigating divorce or separation, career changes or the loss of a job, the end of a significant relationship, becoming a parent or an empty nester, grief and loss of any kind, moving to a new city or stage of life, retirement and reinvention, and the quiet crisis of midlife.
Transition therapy isn't just about getting through the change — it's about discovering what's possible on the other side of it. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we'll help you get clear on what matters to you most and take meaningful steps toward it, even when everything feels uncertain.
There's grief in almost every transition, even the good ones. Giving yourself space to feel that — and to be curious about what's next — is not a luxury. It's necessary.
You don't have to navigate this alone. Let's figure out what this next chapter looks like — together.
If you're in the middle of a transition and could use some support, I'm here.
My StoryBefore I became a therapist, I lived several different lives — social work, healthcare administration, interior design — each one meaningful, each one eventually giving way to something new. I understand the disorientation of reinvention, the grief of leaving something behind, and the quiet excitement of not quite knowing what comes next. Transitions brought me here, and they gave me a deep respect for anyone brave enough to walk through one.
