You’re going through a big life transition - a divorce, a career change, becoming a mother, or stepping into a new phase of life. It feels like the ground beneath you has shifted, leaving you feeling uncertain, and maybe even a bit lost. You’re tired of holding it all together, of carrying the weight alone, and wondering if things will ever feel steady again. What you long for is a sense of calm, clarity, and confidence to move forward. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space where you can feel seen and understood, and where you can begin to reconnect with yourself and move through this transition with more ease & self-compassion.
I offer compassionate therapy for individuals navigating transitions, whether that’s divorce, a career change, motherhood, or adjusting to a new phase of life. Together, we’ll work through the emotions & patterns that arise, build tools for moving forward, & help you reconnect with yourself to step into this new chapter with clarity, confidence, & purpose.
Starting therapy can feel very vulnerable. If you’re feeling unsure, know that that’s normal. You’re not the only one. I offer a space grounded in care, curiosity, and respect for your pace. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin—just a willingness to show up. If something here resonates, I’d be honored to connect.
