Navigating Life Transitions: Grief, Identity Shifts, and Finding Solid Ground

Change is hard, even when it's welcome. Whether you're starting over after a breakup, grieving a loss, becoming a parent, moving to a new country, changing careers, or entering a new life stage—transitions shake the ground beneath us. They ask us to let go of who we were and step into something unknown, even if we don't yet know what that is.

Big life transitions often bring hidden emotions to the surface. You may experience grief, fear, self-doubt, confusion, or even excitement mixed with guilt. These moments also have a way of reactivating older wounds—feeling like you're not good enough, fear of being alone, or unresolved losses from the past.

Whether you’re facing expected changes or life turning upside down, transitions can create anxiety, identity confusion, or a sense of emotional instability. It’s easy to feel like you should just “figure it out” or “move on,” but genuine transitions ask for reflection and integration.

In therapy, we create space to unpack what’s really happening beneath the surface. We’ll explore how this shift is affecting your sense of self, your relationships, and your emotional world. Together, we’ll slow down, make sense of what’s changing, and identify what is asking to emerge within you. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Sometimes the most important work we do is in the in-between spaces.
