Work and Life Transitions
Life rarely follows a straight line. A new job, career change, promotion, retirement, job loss, or shift in your professional identity can bring excitement and opportunity. However, there changes can also bring uncertainty, stress, and questions about what comes next. The same is true of major life changes such as becoming an empty nester, entering a new stage of adulthood, relocating, changing family roles, or simply realizing that the life you built no longer feels quite right.
Transitions can challenge our sense of identity and leave us wondering who we are when the roles and routines we've relied on begin to change. You may feel stuck between where you've been and where you want to go, uncertain about a decision, or frustrated that an accomplishment you worked hard for hasn't brought the satisfaction you expected. Therapy can provide a place to step back, sort through the competing demands and emotions, and gain clarity about what matters most to you.
My approach is grounded in existential therapy, with an emphasis on meaning, identity, values, responsibility, and choice. Rather than simply asking how to get through a transition, we can explore what this period of change is asking of you and what you want your next chapter to look like. Whether you are navigating a career decision, questioning your direction, or adjusting to a significant change in your life, therapy can help you move forward with greater clarity, intention, and confidence.
