Therapy for Life Transitions & Meaning

Life Transitions Require More Than Logistics

You’ve spent years building a career, raising a family. Now you’re retiring, leaving you job. The  kids have grown. Your body is changing. Maybe you are questioning it all. Transitions impact your” identity. Who am I if I’m not working?”

Who am I beyond my roles? What actually matters? What comes next? Therapy helps navigate the practical AND existential aspects of life.  Therqpy will help you move into the next chapter with intention.

Approach & Timeline

My Approach

Life transitions involve both practical questions and deeper existential ones. I help with both.

Understand what’s shifting: What identity are you leaving behind? What fears come up? What are you grieving? What’s exciting?

Explore meaning: What matters? What do you want this chapter to be about?

We also work to process emotions: Grief, fear, excitement, uncertainty. All of these are valid.

And we help navigate identity: Who are you beyond your roles? What values are important to you? How do you want to show up?
