Therapy for Navigating Life Changes
Something has shifted. Maybe it happened suddenly or maybe it crept up so gradually you didn't notice until one day you looked around and realized the life you're living doesn't quite fit the person you're becoming.
It's a shedding of a skin. And figuring out how the new one fits takes time.
Many women I work with are in the thick of early motherhood, that fog nobody actually warns you about until you're standing in it at 3am. Others are in perimenopause, watching their body change in ways that feel disorienting and a little unfamiliar. Or maybe a relationship has run its course, a kid just left for school, and the job you used to love doesn't feel like yours anymore.
Transition work is grief before it's anything else, grieving what you're leaving even when you're the one who chose it. We slow down enough to actually feel that instead of rushing past it, and from there we start working out who you're becoming and what you actually want next.
Sometimes the most useful thing is noticing a part of you that's terrified of change sitting right next to a part that's completely ready for it.
I work with women navigating life transitions in Santa Rosa and online across California. If something here resonates, reach out.
