Life Transitions
“The only thing constant is change.” ~ Heraclitus, Greek philosopher
Has your life been touched by a major event such as a death, break-up, or a loss of work? Do you feel completely stuck and like you need guidance getting back on track? Are you struggling with a new beginning or coping with a new normal? Do you feel lost?
There’s no denying that life often presents us with our fair share of challenges, usually in the form of sudden change. And even if change is expected and planned, it can still be enormously difficult to navigate. These life transitions, even the positive ones, can throw us into a tailspin and leave us feeling stressed, confused and vulnerable. But with the right tools and mindset, you have the power to not only overcome any adversity but also transform into a more authentic and confident version of yourself.
Change gives us the opportunity to see what we’re made of; to become stronger, more confident, and better prepared for what life throws at us next. Even difficult change that is neither wanted nor expected can influence personal growth. With each new challenge, we develop new personal skills and obtain a greater awareness of ourselves.
Some of the most common life transitions I help clients navigate are:
- Moving away to college
- Adjusting to university life
- Navigating your first professional job
- Former college athletes grappling with identity post college
- Breakup, separation, or divorce
- Moving to a new city
- Job loss or major change in career
- Getting married
- Having a new baby
- Parenting
- Infidelity recovery
- Financial gain/loss
- Serious illness or disability
- Death of a loved one
- Questioning your sexuality and/or gender identity
- Questioning the meaning of life
- Questioning your faith/spirituality
Sometimes we can handle change and adversity by ourselves and sometimes we need a little help. I’m here to lend that helping hand and offer a warm and encouraging environment where you can speak candidly and receive care, compassion, and guidance.
