Life Transitions Therapy

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed by recent changes in your life?

It wasn’t supposed to be this way

  • Maybe you're going through a divorce or a separation?

  • Or perhaps you have lost your job or are changing careers.

  • You may have moved to a new place, leaving the familiar behind and having a challenging time to adjust to your new situation.

  • Maybe you became a parent recently.

  • Or perhaps sent your children off to college and became an “empty-nester”.

  • You may be coping with a devastating medical diagnosis.

  • Maybe you’re grieving a recent loss.

  • You fear things will never improve.

Life was not supposed to be like this.

Does this sound like you?

Struggling with accepting the changes

Tired of feeling like you can’t catch a break

Ready to stop procrastinating

Wishing that things were different

Here’s what we’ll do together

Therapy can help you learn the tools to manage what life throws at you.

Life transitions, whether anticipated or unexpected, evoke a range of emotions from excitement to anxiety. They can be developmental, like transitioning from adolescence to adulthood, or situational, triggered by events like divorce, relocation, or the death of a loved one. Some transitions are voluntary, such as pursuing further education or changing careers, or embarking on a new relationship, while others are involuntary, imposed by external factors like illness or economic downturns.

In either case, navigating through these changes can be overwhelming, and it's normal to seek support during these times.

  • First, we'll begin by delving into the nature of your particular situation, exploring experiences and challenges as well as underlying emotions, beliefs, and behavioral patterns that contribute to them to gain insight.

  • From there, we'll explore a range of therapeutic techniques and tools that are tailored to your unique needs and situation. These may include mindfulness practices, cognitive-behavioral strategies, relaxation techniques, and more. Together, we'll identify practical strategies to help you identify your strengths and coping skills to navigate transitions with greater resilience and self-compassion.

I will be with you every step of the way providing guidance and support as we navigate this journey together.

At the end of the day, I want you to know:

There is always fear regarding change. No transformation is easy and can come with some pain as you are shedding off your “old skin”.

Change is possible.

Change is possible.
