I work with women with anxiety in life transitions. Break-ups, job transitions, graduations, moving out, retiring from athletics. They feel stuck, destabilized, and unsure of who they are now. Perhaps they didn't know who they were before either. Sometimes these transitions can bring up problems with relationships, friendships, their family, their identity, spiritual issues, eating issues, and grief. They tend to be people-pleasers, have high expectations, and feel like they are not good enough.

Life is complex at all ages, but we know that...right? Yet knowing this does not necessarily help or give us direction. In my work, I try to help guide people through this murky life, examine choices and explore options, personal history, and experience. I have a deep respect for my clients, for their wisdom and their struggles. I provide an encouraging and non-judgmental space to look at each unique concern and situation. I often explore the role of meaning and choice in our lives, and how both powerfully (but often invisibly) affect how we live our days.

Often what we are experiencing in our lives - in relationships, at school, at work, and within our families - is a reflection of what is happening inside of us. The thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that make up much our inner world help to create the life we are living in the present. In order to make sense of what's happening around you, you often have to look inside yourself and come to a deeper understanding of who you are in this world. Therapy can be that journey of your inner world.

When you're focused on upholding responsibilities and maintaining an image of strength, it can be incredibly difficult to acknowledge your own deeper needs. The pressure to appear capable and composed leaves little room for vulnerability, making it challenging to seek help, or even recognize that you need it. Over time, this can lead to feeling isolated, burned out, and disconnected from what really matters to you, as the demands of daily life take center stage.
