Therapy for life transitions

Online therapy for women in Leesburg VA, and throughout VA, MD, and DC

You never expected life to look like this.

You’ve heard time and again that the one constant life guarantees is change.

Knowing change is a fact of life doesn’t make it easier to navigate. Even the changes we might initiate in our lives, like accepting a new job, moving, starting a family, or ending a relationship, bring mixed feelings. And the situations that happen without warning, like illness or injury, the death of a loved one, or unemployment, often leave heavy feelings of loss and grief, sometimes anger, guilt, relief, or a sense of peace. Your experience is unique to you.

However, when change occurs, you can be certain – whether minor or major, planned or unplanned — life as you know it is disrupted. And you feel the impact in obvious external ways, like in your day-to-day routines or in your relationships, and in less exact, internal ways, like in the way your mood shifts, your body tenses, or your thoughts race.

No matter how much you hope that things will stay the same, what was normal and felt stable starts to shift.

You’ve been feeling…

worry about what the future holds
grief for what used to be
stress or tension in anticipation of what might happen
uncertain and confused about what’s next
self-doubt about knowing what’s right or best

When you’re living under constant, high levels of stress, anxiety, or fear, it’s hard to see beyond the immediate situation. The onslaught of thoughts and emotions you’re experiencing can limit your vision, keeping you rooted in dense, brain fog. It’s in this “messy middle” where one often struggles, fights, resists, stalls, grieves, and gets stuck.

You don’t want to feel like this anymore.

How therapy with me works

I specialize in helping women bounce back from the unexpected. I help you pivot and downshift so you can get through this transitional space - between the old and the new. This in-between can test your patience.

In the safe, compassionate space I offer, you can step out of the chaos and have a quieter, less distracting place where you can pause, listen to, and hear your wise self for what truly matters. Our consistent time together provides stability and a neutral zone where you can delve into the complex, contrasting emotions you’re experiencing and safely explore and understand what is getting stirred up.

At times, you might feel like you “should” be over it, but it’s important to remember that this adjustment is fluid and unique to you. It can’t be rushed or prodded; you have to feel your way through it. In times like this, when you’re worn down and life seems unrecognizable, someone like me can be an impartial, extra set of eyes and ears you need to help you get through the confusion, fear, and uncertainty.

This time and space to be curious and reflect will not only help you make sense of why you feel off-kilter and overwhelmed, but it will also help you find the answers you need. You will gain perspective and clarity so that you can see the possibilities and opportunities that lie ahead for yourself, your relationships, and your life.
