Life Transitions
Are You Facing a Major Life Transition or Midlife Turning Point?
Are you in the midst of a significant life shift—what's often called a major life transition or a midlife reevaluation?
Perhaps life has become confusing, disorienting, and you find yourself asking: "What now?"
You may be entering a new chapter, starting over in ways you didn't expect.
Do you wonder how to move forward, let go, or reimagine what comes next?
When Life Changes, We Are Called to Change With It
Life rarely goes according to plan. Some changes are chosen—empowering, even exciting. Others arrive uninvited, pulling the rug out from under us.
Whether welcome or not, change often brings emotional turbulence, uncertainty, and grief.
You may sense something no longer fits, or perhaps never did. A friction builds inside—a quiet voice telling you that something must shift. Waking up to this inner knowing can be both empowering and disorienting.
You Might Feel Lost, But You Are Not Alone
As you move through a major transition, you may feel:
Overwhelmed by choices and uncertainty
Restless, stuck, or unmotivated
Anxious or down, even if nothing seems "wrong" on the surface
Detached from the life you've built, your routines, or your identity
Conflicted between wanting change and fearing what it might bring
Sometimes what once brought comfort no longer satisfies. The puzzle pieces of your life may not fit as they used to—or maybe you're no longer sure who or what the puzzle was for.
These are signals. Whispers from your deeper self nudging you toward greater alignment.
Common Life Transitions That Can Feel Overwhelming
Transitions that stir deep reflection and emotional upheaval include:
Career changes or job loss
Relationship endings or beginnings
Children leaving home
Shifts in identity, health, or spiritual beliefs
Aging and midlife reevaluation
Loss, grief, or trauma resurfacing
Feeling the desire to live differently—but not knowing how
Even positive changes—such as getting married, becoming a parent, retiring, or moving—can stir doubt, anxiety, or grief over what's been left behind.
Therapy Can Support You in Reimagining This Next Chapter
You don't have to navigate this alone.
Psychotherapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can:
Clarify what's changing—internally and externally
Process the emotional complexity of transition
Explore new directions, desires, and emerging parts of yourself
Grieve what's ending and honor what still matters
Cultivate clarity, confidence, and inner steadiness
Transitions are vulnerable times—but they can also be fertile ground for transformation.
The disorientation you're feeling might be the beginning of something meaningful.
Reconnect with Your True Self
In our work together, I provide a grounded and compassionate space for reflection and self-discovery.
Drawing from a holistic, trauma-informed, and depth-oriented approach, I'll walk alongside you as you make sense of your transition and move toward what's next—with greater clarity, confidence, and connection to your authentic self.
You Might Still Have Concerns About Life Transitions Therapy…
I am concerned about the cost of therapy.
Investing in oneself is a commitment. Therapy is a journey to reconnect with your soul. When paired with the proper support, what you put into your process will often pay you back with more confidence, contentment, ease, and freedom to be your best self.
Your sessions may be reimbursable through your insurance. Contact your insurance provider to learn more about your out-of-network benefits.
Nothing will help me because therapy can’t change what has already happened.
Therapy can help you find hope again despite the transitions in your life. When we find suitable space and support, with curiosity and openness, the change process can be easier than we think. Even though the pain may be acute, hope is always possible. You may need to identify external or internal barriers to free up what's getting in the way of necessary changes.
Won’t others judge me for seeing a therapist?
While stigma about therapy can be an issue in certain communities, it's certainly not the case everywhere. Judgment and stigma typically come from people who have preconceived and outdated notions about therapy.
After a few sessions, most people realize the benefit of having an open space to explore their wants, needs, hopes, and fears without judgment. We can explore your concerns about others in our sessions together, as I imagine it's a challenging dynamic! Additionally, our sessions, conversations, and relationships will remain confidential.
You Don’t Have To Go This Time Of Transition Alone
It’s possible to navigate this time of transition, even if it seems like a great hurdle in your life right now, and therapy can help you find your footing.
