Therapy for Life Transitions

The thresholds that ask: who am I now?

I accompany people through profound human experiences rather than treat disorders. This is my primary work.

Most therapy was built for a stable life that gets briefly disrupted. You return to baseline. You manage your symptoms. You move on.

But some experiences do not return you to baseline. A diagnosis. A divorce. The death of a parent. Leaving the city you built your life in. Watching a child grow into someone who no longer needs you the same way. Realizing the career you fought for has stopped fitting.

These are not problems. They are thresholds. They ask something larger of you than coping skills. They ask you to become someone new on the other side of them, and they rarely tell you who that person will be.

When life changes us, we often need more than coping skills. We need somewhere to make meaning of what is happening.

What therapy with me feels like

Sitting with someone who has spent twenty years accompanying people through death, grief, illness, love, divorce, and identity change.

Sessions are warm, direct, and integrative. We do not just talk about your feelings. We notice where they live in your body. We do not just analyze your thoughts. We explore the wisdom underneath them.

I can hold profound questions without rushing to answers. I am comfortable with existential ones, with spiritual ones, with the ones that have no neat resolution.

The promise is not that you will feel better immediately. It is that you will feel less alone, less afraid of uncertainty, and more connected to a sense of meaning.
