Life Transitions

Often, what brings people to therapy is a season of profound change—loss, transition, or uncertainty—that stirs up deep emotional responses. I work with individuals navigating a wide range of life changes, including those that are expected or unexpected, joyful or painful, chosen or not.

Life transitions can lead to diagnosable mental health challenges such as adjustment disorders, anxiety, or depression. If symptoms related to a transition are significantly interfering with your daily life, relationships, or overall functioning, therapy is not just helpful—it may also be eligible for insurance reimbursement.

Common Life Transitions I Support Clients Through:

  • The end of a relationship or a divorce

  • The loss of a loved one or complicated grief

  • Coping with chronic illness—your own or a family member’s

  • Becoming a caregiver or navigating aging parent concerns

  • Career shifts, job loss, or burnout

  • Moving to a new place or adjusting to life after a major decision

  • Feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed during a life chapter that was “supposed” to feel better

These experiences can bring intense emotions, self-doubt, or a loss of meaning. Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and move forward with clarity and support.

How I Work

My approach is personalized and grounded in a range of evidence-based methods, depending on what you’re facing. These may include:

  • Supportive Therapy, to provide grounding, empathy, and validation

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to work with unhelpful thinking patterns

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help you live more fully even alongside physical and emotional pain

  • Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), to navigate changes in roles and relationships

  • Complicated Grief Therapy, for when grief feels overwhelming or stuck

You Are Worthy of Support

Many clients who have not sought mental health services before come to therapy wondering, “Is what I’m going through serious enough to be here?” The answer is yes. Your emotional experience is valid, and you don’t have to carry it alone. If your challenges meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis such as Adjustment Disorder, therapy may be reimbursable through your insurance. I’m happy to talk through those options with you and clarify what coverage may be available.
