Life transitions are a natural part of being human—whether you’re facing divorce, an empty nest, menopause, career changes, or retirement. These moments can stir up uncertainty and leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning your next step. You might find yourself sad, angry, or even hopeless at times. But you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can tap into your resilience, uncover your inner strengths, and create a path forward. My goal is to support you in moving through change with greater clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.
My role is to help you uncover what may be holding you back while also highlighting the strengths you already carry within you. Together, we’ll create space for healing, growth, and meaningful change. With warmth, clarity, and encouragement, I’ll walk alongside you as you move toward a life that feels authentic, empowered, and deeply fulfilling.
I use a combination of positive and cognitive theoretical frameworks to help clients navigate change and overcome the obstacles to living a meaningful life. I listen with compassion and for understanding, cultivating a strong working alliance so that you can focus on taking action and moving your life forward.
