Life Transitions
Change asks something of us, even when we choose it.
Transitions come in different forms, regardless if it was chosen or unchosen, gradual or sudden, public or private. What they share is that they ask you to renegotiate who you are, what matters, or what comes next. This work helps you move through that process without needing to rush it or resolve it prematurely.
What We Might Explore Together:
Grieving the loss of a relationship, role, or future you imagined
Rebuilding after divorce or separation
Career shifts, job loss, or retirement
Identity changes that come with parenting, aging, or trauma
Relocating or re-rooting in a new place or stage of life
Medical diagnoses, chronic illness, or caregiving
Loss of faith, community, or worldview
Feeling stuck between chapters or unsure of who you are now
You don’t have to have a plan. You just need somewhere to sit in the space between what was and what’s next.
My Approach:
Life transitions involve both loss and adjustment. I draw from the dual-process model of grief, which recognizes that people move between processing what has been lost and orienting toward what comes next; both are necessary, and neither happens on a fixed schedule.
Narrative therapy informs how we look at the stories you've been telling about yourself and whether they still fit. Transitions often surface the gap between who you were and who you're becoming, and that gap is worth examining. Values-based work helps clarify what actually matters to you now, separate from what used to, or what you were told should.
The goal isn't forced acceptance or manufactured optimism. It's a clear-eyed look at where you are and what that could mean going forward.
