Personal Growth & Life Transitions

Major transitions invite us to reorient our lives. With the right support, they can become turning points rather than crises, and an opening for the next version of who you are.

What I work with

Career changes, professional reinvention, and burnout recovery

Becoming a parent or renegotiating identity in parenthood

Divorce, separation, and rebuilding after relational endings

Identity exploration around gender, sexuality, faith, and culture

Existential and meaning-of-life transitions in midlife and beyond

Decisions that have been quietly waiting for the right space to be made

How I work

Transitions deserve more than productivity hacks. My approach makes room for the parts of you that are excited, terrified, grieving, and curious all at once.

  • Psychodynamic and depth-oriented dialogue

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) to honor every part of the decision

  • Attachment-informed work on the relationships involved

  • Somatic check-ins to track what the body knows

  • Integration work for insights from psychedelic experiences and retreats
