Something shifted. You're trying to find your footing.
For adults navigating loss, grief, major life transitions, and the question of who you are on the other side.
Something happened. Or maybe nothing did and that's the problem.
Maybe it's loss — a death, an illness, an accident, the end of something you built your life around. Maybe it's a major transition: retirement, an empty nest, a career that no longer fits, a relationship that's changed. Maybe you're not sure how to describe it, only that the person you've been doesn't quite map onto where you are now.
The people I work with don't all arrive with the same story. But they tend to share something: a willingness to be honest, even when that's uncomfortable. A willingness to follow the conversation even when it goes somewhere unexpected. They want the work to go somewhere.
I'm not here to tell you what to do. I'm here to take what you're carrying seriously — all of it. I'm here to think alongside you, carefully and honestly, with room for the full complexity of what this moment is asking of you. Sometimes that means sitting with grief that doesn't resolve neatly. Sometimes it means finding unexpected lightness inside something hard. Usually it means going somewhere you didn't quite expect when you walked in.
Common questions
-
You don’t need a crisis. People come in after a loss, in the middle of a big change, or because their life looks fine on paper and feels wrong. If you keep circling the same thought, the same pattern, or the same question about your life, that’s reason enough. The free consultation is a low-pressure way to find out.
-
That’s one of the most common things people say in a first session, and it’s fine. You don’t need an agenda. Start with whatever’s loudest right now, and I’ll ask questions to help us find the thread.
-
Yes. Most people don’t want to do therapy. They come because something isn’t working and they’ve run out of other ideas. You don’t have to be sold on it, and you don’t have to pretend to be. Tell me what you’re skeptical about and we’ll start there.
-
That’s useful information. Tell me in the consultation what didn’t work: the pace, the approach, feeling unheard, or never getting anywhere practical. I can tell you how I’d work differently, and whether I’m might be a good fit.
-
It depends on what brings you in. Some people come for a few months to work on one specific thing, and others stay longer for deeper work on patterns that go back years. We’ll check in regularly about how it’s going and what you want next.
-
No. As a marriage and family therapist, I don’t prescribe. If you’re comfortable with it and with your permission, I’m happy to talk with your doctor or psychiatrist.
Let’s talk
You don’t need the right words, or a crisis. Tell me what’s been on your mind and we’ll see if working together makes sense. A first conversation doesn’t commit you to anything.
