Losses and life transitions can change everything you thought you knew. Maybe a family member has been recently diagnosed with cancer, the loss of someone close to you has altered your outlook on life, or life transitions have changed your relationships with others or with yourself. I specialize in supporting adults who are navigating life changes, transitions, and losses. Together we will explore the best ways for you to cope with difficult emotions, understand yourself and who you are becoming, increase your sense of self-worth and purpose, and discover renewed direction in life.
I believe that curiosity and a commitment to learning about ourselves leads to growth. We all respond differently to losses and life changes, so our work together will focus on your unique experiences and feelings. I’ll support you in making sense of what this loss or change means in your life and finding the best path forward.
We will work together to identify your goals for therapy, but you will always be the one to set the pace and direction your journey will take. Our sessions are a safe space for you to process the changes you’ve experienced so you can explore the person you want to be as you forward in your life. Schedule a free consultation today.
