Life Transitions Therapy
When life changes, so can you.
Some transitions are exciting. Others are unexpected. And even the changes you've been looking forward to can leave you feeling uncertain about who you are and what comes next.
Maybe you're getting married and finding that the reality of combining your life with someone else brings up more than you expected.
Maybe you're becoming a mother and struggling with the loss of your old routines, identity, independence, or sense of self.
Maybe you've lost a job you worked hard for and suddenly find yourself questioning your direction, your confidence, or your worth.
Maybe you're leaving a career that once defined you—or wondering whether the career you've built is still the life you want.
For creatives and artists, a transition might mean moving to a new city, stepping away from a project, experiencing a career setback, navigating a shift in creative identity, or trying to understand who you are when your work isn't going the way you imagined.
You may be entering a new relationship, ending one, becoming an empty nester, navigating a divorce, caring for aging parents, or adjusting to a significant loss.
And sometimes, a transition isn't one big event at all.
It's the quiet realization that the life you built no longer feels like it belongs to you.
Even good change can be hard.
Transitions can bring conflicting emotions.
You can be grateful and overwhelmed.
Excited and afraid.
Relieved and grieving.
You may feel like you should be happy, especially when the change is something you've wanted. But knowing something is right for you doesn't mean it will be easy.
Major life changes can also bring existing patterns to the surface. You may become more perfectionistic, anxious, controlling, or disconnected from yourself. You may notice old patterns around food, your body, achievement, or self-worth becoming more difficult to manage.
You may find yourself asking:
Who am I now?
What do I actually want?
Can I trust myself?
What happens if I don't know what's next?
You don't have to have it all figured out.
Therapy can provide a space to slow down and make sense of what you're experiencing without rushing to find an answer.
Together, we'll explore both the practical and emotional sides of your transition—what you're leaving behind, what you're moving toward, and what may be getting in the way.
My approach is integrative and mind-body focused, drawing from somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM).
We'll explore the beliefs, relationships, fears, and patterns that may be surfacing while also paying attention to what your body and nervous system are experiencing through the change.
Finding your footing in a new chapter
You don't have to know exactly who you're becoming before you begin.
Therapy can be a place to grieve what was, make room for what is changing, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have gotten lost along the way.
The goal isn't for me to tell you what your next chapter should look like.
It's to help you hear yourself more clearly, trust yourself more deeply, and move forward in a way that feels true to you.
Whether you're becoming a parent, changing careers, navigating a relationship, experiencing loss, or simply realizing that something needs to change, you don't have to navigate it alone.
You are allowed to take your time becoming who you're becoming.
If you're moving through a significant transition and looking for support, I'd love to connect.
I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to talk about what you're experiencing and whether working together feels like the right fit.
