When your life changes — and nothing feels like it fits anymore

Sometimes the shifts are obvious. Sometimes they’re quiet. Maybe you’re ending a relationship, changing careers, relocating, or simply sensing that your old life doesn’t match who you’ve become.

On the outside, it might look like you’re doing fine. Inside, things may feel tangled.

You might find yourself:

  • Grieving the life you thought you’d have

  • Asking yourself, “Who am I now? What do I even want?”

  • Feeling overwhelmed by decisions — some forced, some longed for

  • Showing up for everyone else so reliably that you’ve lost sight of who you are

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to navigate it alone.

When the path forward isn’t clear, therapy can help.

Transitions can leave you feeling untethered, unsure, or stuck between versions of yourself. Maybe you’re in the middle of a change. Maybe you just know something needs to shift. Either way, you don’t have to carry it all alone.

In therapy, you can:

  • Pause and listen — to your values, your needs, your hopes

  • Make space for grief, for endings, and for beginnings

  • Untangle the expectations or roles that no longer fit

  • Begin building a life that’s rooted in who you are now — not who you used to be 

This is your permission to begin again — with clarity, support, and self-trust. Let’s talk — no pressure, no commitment — and decide whether I might be the right fit for your next chapter.

My approach: Strengths-Based & Collaborative.

Change doesn’t have to feel chaotic or isolating. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to begin. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing. It’s about getting curious — about what fits now, what matters to you, and what’s possible from here. We’ll work together, at your pace, to reach your goals.

Here are some of the things we might explore together:

    • Clarify who you are now - and who you’re becoming 

    • Explore the roles, values, and identities that matter most

    • Let go of outdated stories or expectations that no longer fit

    • Gain confidence in your ability to choose what’s right for you

    • Identify what you do want - even if you’re not 100% sure yet

    • Take small, doable steps toward meaningful change

    • Learn to sit with the unknown without shutting down

    • Make room for both grief and hope

    • Build resilience through grounding tools and emotional regulation

FAQs about Life Transitions

  • I work with adults navigating all types of transitions - whether expected or unexpected, chosen or not. This might include the end of a relationship, graduation, career shifts, moves, retirement, changes in family roles (like parenting adult children or becoming a caregiver), or moments when your inner world no longer matches your outer one. If you’re asking, “What now?” or “Who am I becoming?”, you’re in the right place.

  • Even common life changes - like a breakup, a big move, or a new phase of adulthood - can bring up deep emotions and identify shifts. Therapy gives you a place to process those feelings, reflect on what’s changed, and move forward with more clarity and intention. Just because something is “normal” doesn’t mean it’s easy.

  • Even when change is chosen, it can shake up your routines, roles, and sense of identity. Transitions often bring uncertainty, which can trigger anxiety, self-doubt, or old stories about who you should be.
