life event crossroads

Whether expected or unexpected, navigating a change in your environment, work, or personal life often entails intense and novel demands on the mind and perhaps the physical body as well. In the midst of a transition, you may notice changes in sleep, eating/appetite, and other essential activities. 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.

 

I work with clients preparing to make decisions with regards to their future educational opportunities or professional endeavors, and help them clarify their goals, based upon their specific values and guiding principles. I also support clients who are processing the ending of a relationship or a recent loss, which is often a non-linear path forward.

 

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 you 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 within your power to shape.

navigating change
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.
