If you’re struggling to make sense of trauma, grief, or major life transitions, I can help you understand what you’re feeling and offer a collaborative, evidence-based path toward healing and growth. I provide psychotherapy for adults who are navigating complex life transitions and want a structured, reflective space to understand themselves and their relationships more clearly. I work with: • Middle aged and older adults who are managing the demands of work, family, health changes, and questions about meaning and purpose in this stage of life. • Women in midlife and beyond who have spent years caring for others and are now facing burnout, loneliness, shifting roles, mental/physical changes, or a desire to reconnect with their own needs and identity. • Divorced and separated parents, including those in blended or remarried families, who are working to reduce conflict, strengthen co parenting, and protect their own well being. • Parents of adult children who are struggling with boundaries, communication, financial support, or changing roles as their children launch, return home, or start families of their own. • Adults coping with chronic illness or major health changes (their own or a loved one’s) and the impact on mood, relationships, work, and daily functioning. • Individuals experiencing grief and loss after the death of a spouse, family member, close friends, pets, as well as those grieving the loss of health, roles, or long held plans for the future. Grief may also appear as a result of migration, whether recent or well established. • Adults dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and adjustment related difficulties connected to life transitions, relationship changes, relocation, retirement, or other significant stressors. My practice is well suited to adults who value a thoughtful, collaborative approach and who are seeking depth, clarity, and practical tools rather than quick fixes.
