What brings someone here
Life transitions come in all sizes. Some are obvious — a divorce, a job loss, a move, retirement, a death. Others are quieter but just as disorienting: turning forty, a child leaving home, a relationship that slowly changed, a version of yourself you've outgrown but haven't replaced yet.
What they share is this: the old map doesn't work anymore. And the new one isn't drawn yet. That in-between space is uncomfortable, sometimes painful, and often the exact right place to do meaningful work.
What this work focuses on
Transitions are rarely just practical problems. They tend to surface parts of us that don't handle change well — parts that are frightened, grieving, or holding on to something that needs to be released. They also surface parts that have been waiting for exactly this opening.
I use an IFS lens to help you understand what's happening internally during a transition — not just what you're going through, but who in you is going through it, and what each of those parts might need to find solid ground.
Loss, identity, and what comes next
Many transitions involve loss — even when the change is chosen or wanted. Attachment-informed therapy helps us understand the grief that comes with leaving one version of your life behind, and how to move through it without bypassing it.
This work is also about building. Understanding your values more clearly. Finding what's been true about you all along that you want to carry forward, and what you're ready to let go of.
How we track what changes
Depending on what's present — anxiety, depression, grief — I use validated measures to get a clear baseline and track real movement over time. Transitions can feel like treading water, and having a concrete picture of what's shifting helps both of us stay oriented.
