Navigating Life Transitions: Therapy for Career, Identity, and Personal Shifts
Finding Your Anchor in the "Liminal Space"
Major transitions—whether chosen or forced—rarely feel like a straight line from A to B. Most of the real work happens in the "liminal space": that uncomfortable, in-between gap where your old roles no longer fit quite right, yet the new path hasn't fully emerged or become visible. In this stage, it's common to experience heightened anxiety, a quiet sense of grief for what was lost, and the uneasy feeling that you are aimlessly "drifting" without a clear direction, uncertain which step will feel like the next right move.
Support for Every Inflection Point
Career Evolutions & Professional Identity
For the high-achiever facing burnout or contemplating a total professional pivot. We focus on clarifying your core values, strengthening your resilience through practical strategies, and quieting the persistent "imposter syndrome" that often arrives with a new level of leadership or a radical career change. Our approach helps you reclaim balance, confidence, and a clearer sense of purpose as you move forward.
Relational & Family Pivots
Navigating the empty nest, the complexities of divorce, or the transition into caregiving for aging parents. We help you gently explore, process, and thoughtfully redefine your sense of purpose and identity when your primary daily roles and responsibilities shift and life rhythms change.
The New Chapter: Retirement & Aging
Retirement is not just a financial transition; it’s a profound psychological shift as well. We help you "reframe" your lifetime of expertise into a purposeful, engaged, and deeply satisfying new stage of life, guiding you to rediscover meaning, structure, and sustained joy in everyday routines and meaningful activities.
A Strategic Approach to Change
Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Existential principles, we go beyond merely "talking about the problem." Together we build a practical, personalized toolkit of psychological flexibility and concrete coping skills that empowers you to face uncertainty, tolerate and manage difficult thoughts and emotions, clarify and act on your core values, and make intentional, values-driven choices. This helps you move forward in life without being paralyzed by fear, doubt, avoidance, or unhelpful habits, so you can live with greater resilience, purpose, and day-to-day functioning.
