The adage that “the only constant in life is change” is true for people experiencing life transitions. Some life transitions can be exciting, such as a new relationship, move, job, or child. Some can be difficult, like death, illness, or aging. Regardless of the nature of the change, life transitions can be stressful.
Available Treatment Options
Counseling interventions therapists may use for dealing with life transitions include talking about and processing the change, developing coping skills for handling the stress of the change, and participating in group therapy with people going through similar life transitions.

One of the most courageous things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Reaching out for therapy is the first step to embarking on the therapeutic process.

Are you a new or expecting mother looking for support during this transitional time? Have you been (over)prepped for the birth of your child, but not for what happens after?

I believe that we as individuals inherently hold the wisdom of who we are and what we need. As life happens we can forget the powerful beings we innately are and lose our sense of self.

“So, why therapy?” is a question I get asked often. I myself have experienced struggles and pitfalls throughout my life and I can say without a doubt, I wouldn’t have made it through those difficult times without the support of my family and friends. However, not everyone is as fortunate to have a solid support system cheering them on during their darkest hours. Therefore, I believe it is...
*I am not currently accepting new clients.* In my practice, I welcome people from all walks of life and have had the privilege of working with a diverse clientele. I offer a compassionate demeanor, nonjudgmental attitude, and a safe environment for processing.

I specialize in supporting clients who struggle with feeling connected to themselves and their loved ones, who feel lost, overwhelmed, or stuck.
