life event crossroads

Whether expected or unexpected, navigating a change in your environment, work, or personal life often entails intense and novel demands on our minds and perhaps physical bodies as well. Saying yes to a new opportunity often elicits a myriad of emotions. It opens up space for growth and healthy challenge, and over time builds self-efficacy and resilience. It’s also crucial to engage the appropriate resources along the way and ensure you have the support you need as you adjust to the new conditions. We’ll attend to the specific aspects of your situation, which will inherently look differently than the considerations of peers or other close parties.

 

I work with clients preparing to make decisions with regards to their future educational opportunities or professional endeavors, and help them clarify their goals and pinpoint the ideal match. I also focus on helping clients who are working with through the ending of a relationship or processing a recent loss.

 

In the midst of a transition, such as a career pivot, relocation, or family planning decision, there is often increased uncertainty and instability. You may find that you’re questioning your decision or wondering if it’s truly the “right” time to make a change. You don’t need to sit with it alone. Maybe you’ve noticed thoughts showing up and predicting how the experience will go or you’ve noticed your thoughts are taking further out into the future, beyond the point where you have sufficient information to act. We’ll focus on slowing the process down and helping you build tolerance for uncertainty, while focusing on the factors that are under your power to shape.

Happiness is not dependent on circumstances being exactly as we want them to be, or on ourselves being exactly as we’d like to be. Rather, happiness stems from loving ourselves and our lives exactly as they are, knowing that joy and pain, strength and weakness, glory and failure are all essential to the full human experience.
