Life Transitions & Identity

  • Navigating Motherhood, Career Shifts, or Relationship Changes

    Life transitions—whether becoming a parent, changing careers, or reevaluating a relationship—can bring both possibility and upheaval. Even positive changes can leave us feeling untethered, uncertain, or emotionally overwhelmed. You might find yourself questioning your identity, your choices, or what you truly want.

    Therapy offers a space to pause and reflect amid the swirl of change. Together, we’ll explore what’s shifting internally and externally, clarify your values, and reconnect you with a sense of agency and groundedness. Whether you’re stepping into something new or letting go of something old, therapy can help you make meaning of your experience and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

  • Body image and self-esteem

    Struggles with body image and self-esteem can quietly shape how we move through the world—impacting relationships, self-worth, and even day-to-day decisions. These challenges are often rooted in deeper experiences, including cultural messages, trauma, perfectionism, or early relationships. You may feel stuck in cycles of comparison, self-criticism, or shame, even while striving for confidence or self-acceptance.

    Therapy offers a space to explore these patterns with care and curiosity—not judgment. Together, we’ll uncover the stories you’ve been told (and the ones you’ve told yourself), and begin to build a more compassionate, grounded relationship with your body and your sense of self.

  • Aging and midlife transitions

    Midlife can be a time of profound reflection and recalibration. Whether you're facing shifts in identity, purpose, relationships, health, or appearance, the emotional impact can feel surprisingly complex. This stage often brings questions like: Who am I now? What matters most? What have I outgrown—and what do I want to grow into?

    Therapy offers a space to slow down and explore these questions with honesty and compassion. Together, we can work through feelings of grief, regret, uncertainty, or renewal, and help you reconnect with your values, desires, and inner strength. Aging is not a decline—it’s a transition. And like all transitions, it deserves to be met with intention, clarity, and care.

  • Caregiver stress

    Caring for a loved one—whether a parent, partner, child, or family member—can be both meaningful and emotionally exhausting. Caregivers often carry immense responsibility, and yet their own needs and feelings are frequently overlooked. You might be experiencing burnout, guilt, resentment, or grief—all while trying to hold everything together.

    Therapy offers a space just for you. A place to process the emotional weight of caregiving, explore your limits without judgment, and reconnect with your own needs and identity. Together, we’ll work to ease overwhelm, strengthen boundaries, and help you care for yourself with the same compassion you offer others.

  • Chronic stress and burnout

    When stress becomes constant, it can start to feel like part of your personality—like you’re always on edge, exhausted, or barely keeping up. Burnout isn’t just about being busy—it’s a state of emotional, mental, and physical depletion that can affect your relationships, work, sleep, and sense of self.

    In therapy, we’ll create space to slow down, understand the roots of your stress, and gently untangle the patterns keeping you stuck. Whether your burnout stems from work, caregiving, perfectionism, or simply doing too much for too long, you deserve support that meets you with compassion, not judgment.
