Why This Specialty Exists

Life transitions often require us to let go of familiar roles, routines, relationships, or expectations.

Whether the change was planned or unexpected, transitions can challenge our sense of stability and leave us wondering who we are now.

Many people judge themselves for struggling during periods of change, believing they should "just move on."
​
Therapy provides space to process both what has been lost and what is emerging, helping you adapt without losing yourself in the process.

Is This a Good Fit?

I help adults adjust to major life transitions by providing practical support, emotional processing, and strategies that foster resilience during times of change.
​
Even positive changes can bring unexpected grief, anxiety, uncertainty, and identity shifts. Therapy offers a place to make sense of those experiences while building confidence in what comes next.

✓ Strong Fit Contexts

  • Divorce or separation.

  • Career changes or job loss.

  • Retirement.

  • Becoming a caregiver.

  • Children leaving home.

  • A significant medical diagnosis.

  • Recovery from addiction.

  • Relationship changes.

  • Grief that accompanies major life shifts.
​
  • Relocation or other major changes in daily life.

✗ Not the Right Fit

  • Require emergency psychiatric services.

  • Need inpatient or crisis-level mental healthcare.

  • Are seeking psychological evaluations or medication management without therapy.​
​If a higher level of care is appropriate, I can help identify resources that better meet your current needs.

You Might Relate If...

→Everyone tells you this is a "good change" but you still feel overwhelmed.

→You no longer recognize the life you expected to have.

→You feel like you've lost your sense of identity.

→You're functioning on the outside while feeling emotionally unsettled on the inside.

→You know something needs to change but are unsure of where to begin.

→You can't stop this transition but don't feel ready for it on any level.

Therapeutic Approach & Style

How I Work

Clients often describe my approach as compassionate, practical, direct, and collaborative. I believe insight is most useful when it creates meaningful change outside of therapy sessions.
​
Together we process the emotional impact of change, strengthen coping skills, identify personal strengths, and develop a plan for moving forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Evidence-based Tools

I use practical, evidence-based tools to help clients manage anxiety and fear, set and maintain boundaries, and respond with more confidence in their path forward

Depending on your goals I may incorporate these approaches:
CBT
DBT
Gestalt
Mindfulness
