Support through life transitions
Change—whether chosen or unexpected—can be both exciting and overwhelming. Even positive transitions can stir up grief, anxiety, uncertainty, or a sense of losing your footing. Maybe you're starting over. Maybe everything around you has shifted, and you're still catching up emotionally. Or maybe you're standing at a crossroads, unsure what comes next. Therapy offers a steady, nonjudgmental space to process change and move forward with clarity and care.
​
Common Life Transitions
​
-
Career changes, layoffs, or returning to school
-
Breakups, divorce, or relationship shifts
-
Becoming a parent, empty nesting, or parenting adult children
-
Moving or major lifestyle changes
-
Exploring identity or questioning your purpose, path, or sense of self
-
Loss of a loved one or changes in health
​​
No matter the specifics, transitions often bring a mix of emotions—grief, hope, fear, relief, confusion. All of that can belong in therapy.

Change Can Be a Beginning.
Life transitions ask you to grow—and growth often comes with discomfort. But you don’t have to go through it unsupported. Therapy is a place to catch your breath, reflect deeply, and move forward with more intention. You’re allowed to change. You’re allowed to be uncertain. You’re allowed to seek support. Let’s walk through this together. Reach out today to schedule a consultation and take the next step in navigating your transition with clarity and care.
