What is life transitions therapy?

Life transitions—whether expected or sudden—can leave you feeling ungrounded. Changes like moving, starting or ending a relationship, changing careers, becoming a parent, or losing someone you love can stir up anxiety, grief, or uncertainty.

Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and regain your footing. Together, we explore how this shift is impacting you emotionally and help you reconnect with your values and inner strength. Transitions can be disorienting—but they also hold the potential for growth, clarity, and renewal.

Through support and insight, you can begin to navigate what's next with more confidence and ease.

What are life transitions?

Life transitions can feel overwhelming, even when they are expected. Whether it's a move, a breakup, a new career, or becoming a parent—change can stir up uncertainty, grief, and anxiety.

You might feel like the ground beneath you has shifted. What once felt certain now feels foreign, and you may be asking yourself, "What now?"

In therapy, we help you slow down, process the emotions that come with change, and find clarity in the unknown. Together, we explore what this transition means for you—and how you want to move forward.

Change doesn't have to mean chaos. With support, it can become a powerful turning point toward growth, healing, and a deeper connection to yourself.

Why are life transitions challenging?

Life is full of changes—some planned, some unexpected. Even when transitions bring exciting opportunities, they can also stir up stress, doubt, and a sense of loss. Whether you're starting a new chapter, ending one, or simply navigating what's next, it's normal to feel overwhelmed.

Therapy offers a space to process what you're feeling, gain clarity, and build tools for resilience. With support, these moments of transition can become meaningful turning points—not just times of disruption, but invitations to grow and realign with who you're becoming.

What can you expect from life transitions therapy?

Each session is 50 minutes long. In our first meeting, we'll explore the life changes you're currently facing and how they're impacting your well-being. The next few sessions may focus on processing emotions, building coping strategies, and finding clarity in the midst of uncertainty. My goal is to support you in feeling grounded, empowered, and more aligned with what matters most—no matter what transition you're navigating.
