Any life transition, such as the death of a family member or birth of a child, marriage or divorce, job loss or promotion, move from college to work, return to school after an established career or a change in health or lifestyle, inevitably affects one’s life in both positive and negative ways.

The demands of a new role may feel overwhelming, unexpected emotional responses may be confusing and make adjusting difficult, and, depending on the life change, one’s sense of self and relationship to others may be unsettled.

We will work together to understand the significance of the transition, its relation to past life changes, and the ways in which your reaction to the change is similar to or different from that of changes you have experienced in the past – with the goal of being best able to live with your new circumstances.
