Life Transitions Therapy
When the ground shifts beneath you, therapy helps you find solid footing again.
Is a big change leaving you feeling lost?
Life transitions can be exciting and terrifying at the same time. Sometimes they are chosen: a new career, a move to a new city, a decision to start or end a relationship. Sometimes they are forced upon you: a job loss, a divorce, a health diagnosis, the departure of your last child from home.
Either way, transitions have a way of shaking loose the identity you have built. The roles that used to define you may no longer fit. The routines that gave your days structure may have disappeared. The future you planned for may look nothing like the one unfolding in front of you.
It is normal to feel anxious, sad, angry, or simply lost during these times. These feelings are not signs of weakness. They are signs that you are human, going through something real, and that you need support.
A therapist who knows transitions from the inside
My entire adult life has been defined by transitions. I relocated internationally multiple times, changed careers twice, raised five children through countless moves and cultural adjustments, and eventually returned to the United States to start over in a new profession. I know what it feels like when everything familiar is stripped away and you have to rebuild your sense of self from scratch.
That lived experience gives me a perspective that most therapists cannot offer. I do not just understand transitions intellectually. I understand them in my bones. And I know that on the other side of the disorientation, there is an opportunity to discover who you really are, not just who circumstances have made you.
What we work on
I work with people navigating all kinds of transitions: relocation (domestic and international), divorce and relationship changes, career shifts, retirement, becoming an empty nester, grief and loss, returning to a home country after years abroad, starting over after a major life disruption, and the quieter but equally challenging experience of simply feeling stuck and not knowing what comes next.
