Life Transitions Therapy & Divorce Support

Major Life Changes

Life is defined by constant change, but certain transitions can completely upend our sense of stability and identity. Whether you are navigating a painful divorce, facing a sudden career shift, transitioning into retirement, or adjusting to an “empty nest,” these pivotal moments can bring a surge of anxiety, grief, and confusion.

Even positive transitions, like getting married, having a child, or receiving a major promotion, can feel surprisingly overwhelming. It is entirely normal to feel lost or stuck when the structures and routines you once relied on are no longer there.

As life changes, we change too. We go through different stages, unexpected challenges, and ups and downs, and we often need to adapt and find new ways to cope. Sometimes, having someone beside us during those transitions can make all the difference.

Who I Work With

I enjoy helping adults who are going through significant life transitions and trying to adjust to a new stage of life. They may be experiencing grief, changes in relationships, family challenges, or uncertainty about what comes next. They often want greater clarity, acceptance, and a healthier perspective as they move forward.

I enjoy working with young adults who are navigating relationships, identity, life transitions, anxiety, and the pressures of becoming independent. They often want to better understand themselves, build confidence, improve relationships, and develop healthier ways of coping with challenges.

My Approach

With over two decades of clinical experience, I guide adults through life’s most challenging crossroads. My approach is rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and self-discovery, even in the midst of upheaval.

I integrate psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, existential, and humanistic approaches to help you:

Process Grief and Loss: Acknowledge and mourn the end of a previous chapter, relationship, or identity.
Manage Anxiety: Develop mindfulness and coping skills to tolerate the uncertainty of the unknown.
Redefine Your Identity: Explore your core values and aspirations to build a new sense of self.
Build Resilience: Cultivate the emotional tools needed to adapt to your new circumstances with confidence.

What I Believe

I believe that most people already have many of the answers to their own challenges. Through reflection, self-awareness, and the ability to process their experiences, they can become the leaders of their own lives, finding solutions, accepting what they cannot change, or shifting their mindset and the way they view their problems.

Healing happens within the context of our therapeutic relationship. Through active listening, empathy, and a collaborative environment, we will explore your background, current challenges, and future aspirations. You don’t have to navigate these massive shifts alone. Together, we can help you unlock your potential, achieve your goals, and find meaning in this new chapter of your life.

How can therapy help during a major life change?

Major transitions, even positive ones like a new career or marriage, can be incredibly stressful. Therapy provides a stable, objective space to process your feelings, grieve what you're leaving behind, and intentionally plan for your future. We work on building resilience and practical coping skills to manage the uncertainty.

Do you specialize in divorce recovery?

Yes, I have extensive experience helping individuals navigate the complex emotional and logistical realities of divorce. We will work through the grief, anger, and loss of identity that often accompany separation, helping you rebuild a fulfilling, independent life.

I just feel lost and don't know what my 'next step' should be. Can you help?

Absolutely. When the path forward isn't clear, we can use our sessions to explore your values, interests, and past successes. By understanding what truly matters to you, we can slowly build clarity and confidence in determining your next chapter.
