Therapy for Life Transitions

Life comes with a lot of changes. And these changes can often make us feel off-balance and disconnected. 

Some common transitional times that people seek therapy during:

• Career Transitions: Changing jobs or navigating job loss 

• Relationship Changes: Going through a breakup or divorce, adjusting to a new romantic relationship

• Life Transitions: Becoming a parent, empty nest, adjusting to retirement

• Relocation: Moving to a new city or a new cultural environment

• Health Challenges: Coping with a chronic illness or disability, recovery from surgery or a major health event

• Loss and Grief: Dealing with the death of a loved one, or another significant loss, like the end of a friendship or the loss of a pet

• Identity and Self-Discovery: Exploring personal identity and values, life transitions related to gender identity or sexual orientation

• Financial Stress: Managing financial difficulties or sudden changes in economics

• Educational Transitions: Adjusting to the demands of higher education, transitioning from school to the workforce

Seeking counseling during transitions like these can help you:

• Develop coping strategies to manage the stress, anxiety, or sadness that may accompany significant life changes.

• Identify patterns of thinking and behavior that may be hindering your ability to adapt to change.

• With self-discovery to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your values, and your aspirations.

• Set realistic and achievable goals during times of transition, creating a sense of direction and purpose.

• Manage stress to promote mental and emotional well-being.

• Make healthy decisions. 

Together, we will help you find and establish your new normal. 

Anxiety & Depression

Feeling extreme worry and sadness are common emotions that we all go through at periods in our lives. But sometimes, these emotions become overwhelming to the point where they are interfering with daily life.  Therapy can help you get through this time by giving you the space to process, learn, and heal.

In therapy, you’ll learn how to: 

• Understand triggers that contribute to anxiety and depressive symptoms.

• Explore the root causes of anxiety and depression, which may be rooted in past experiences, trauma, or unprocessed emotions.

• Recognize and reframe negative thought patterns, promoting healthier and more positive thinking through cognitive restructuring.

• Regulate your emotions.

• Build coping strategies like relaxation techniques, mindfulness practices, and stress management skills.

• Have self-compassion. Learning to treat yourself with kindness can be a powerful antidote to the negative self-talk common in anxiety and depression.

• Identify and challenge negative beliefs that hold negative beliefs about yourself or your future.

Premarital Counseling

Embarking on a new journey together? Premarital counseling is a great place to start to create a strong foundation for your marriage. Before the vows, you’ll explore your strengths and areas for growth as a couple. I incorporate standardized assessments to support your personalized treatment plan. Through premarital counseling, you’ll be prepared and equipped with the tools to navigate challenges, communicate effectively, and build a resilient bond. Premarital counseling is a proactive investment for a thriving relationship.

Couples Counseling

The truth is that if your relationship feels off, you’ll feel off. If communication feels like a struggle between you and your partner, or if you're caught in cycles of misunderstanding, therapy offers a space to rebuild connection and understanding. You’ll work toward a partnership where both voices are heard and valued.

Couples counseling can help you:

• Improve communication

• Resolve conflict

• Build or rebuild trust

• Enhance intimacy

• Navigate life transitions

• Prevent escalation

• Develop a shared vision

• Create healthy boundaries
