Adjustments and Life Transitions

Guidance and support for navigating major changes

Are you anticipating, contemplating, or currently experiencing a big life change? Even positive changes can bring stress, uncertainty, and emotional challenges. Whether you are thinking of a career shift, deciding to leave a marriage, coping with divorce, moving to a new city, grieving the loss of a loved one, starting retirement, or adjusting to another major change, you don’t have to go through it alone.

Life transitions often disrupt our sense of stability, identity, and control. Therapy offers a supportive space to process your emotions, clarify your values, and develop skills to navigate this time with greater resilience and confidence.

How I Can Help

I work collaboratively with clients to help them approach change in ways that feel intentional and manageable. My approach often includes:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Focuses on clarifying what truly matters to you and learning how to take intentional steps in the direction of what is important to you—even when life feels uncertain or uncomfortable. With ACT, therapy focuses on helping you identify and act on your deepest values—even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. Instead of trying to eliminate discomfort, ACT teaches acceptance, self-compassion, and mindful presence so you can build a life that’s authentic and fulfilling.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are closely connected. When we have negative thoughts like “I’m worthless” or “I can’t do anything right,” they can influence our mood, how we relate to others, and the choices we make in our daily lives. These thought patterns can be powerful—sometimes helping us, but other times keeping us stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you understand the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and learn how to shift them in ways that support a fuller, healthier life. In CBT, you can develop practical tools such as reframing unhelpful thoughts, increasing positive activities, using relaxation strategies, solving problems more effectively, tracking your mood, and setting achievable goals.

Moving Forward with Confidence

While change can be challenging, it can also be an opportunity for growth, new possibilities, and deeper self-understanding. Together, we’ll explore your goals, address the obstacles in your way, and help you navigate this transition with clarity and self-compassion.
