life transitions therapy in austin, tx

• Major life changes — planned or unexpected

• Career changes, job loss, or questioning the path you're on

• Relationship transitions — breakups, divorce, contemplating leaving, or starting something new

• Becoming a parent, empty nesting, or shifts in family structure

• Grief and loss, including losses that don't fit neatly into a category

• Moving, relocation, or losing a sense of community or belonging

• Identity shifts that come with major change — who you are now versus who you were

Life transitions are disorienting in a particular way — even when the change is something you wanted. You can know that a decision was right and still grieve what came before. You can be moving toward something good and still feel unmoored, behind, or like everyone else has figured out something you haven't. The difficulty isn't always about the change itself. It's about the gap between who you were before and who you're still becoming — and not knowing how long you'll have to live in that in-between.

But transitions rarely feel this disorienting without a reason. They tend to surface things that were already there — questions about identity and worth that the old structure was quietly holding in place, patterns in how you handle uncertainty or loss that go back further than the current change. Major transitions have a way of making visible what was previously easy to avoid. In our work together, we don't try to rush you through to the other side. We pay attention to what the transition is asking of you — what it's asking you to let go of, what it's revealing about who you've been, and what kind of person you want to be on the other side of it. Not just adapting to circumstances, but finding your footing in them.

I offer life transitions therapy in Austin, Texas and via telehealth across the state for adults navigating change that feels bigger than it should — or harder than anyone around them seems to understand.
