Therapy for
Life Transitions
What kind of changes are on the horizon for you?
Life transitions can mean almost anything, from job and career, to grief and loss, to more enjoyable and preferred changes like new relationships or exploring more authentic identities. It’s all about writing and re-writing, editing down, and reconceptualizing. There will always be parts of your story that are out of your control, so let’s maximize the parts that you direct.
Some transitions feel like a natural progression,
while others can shake us to the core.
Life doesn’t exactly ask for our permission before it throws change at us. Sometimes we’re excited for it—a new job, a move, a fresh start. Other times it feels like the rug just got pulled out from under us. Either way, even change we want can feel messy, confusing, and harder than expected.
Therapy is a place to catch your breath and figure out what actually matters to you in the middle of all that. We’ll sort through what’s noise and what’s important, so your choices line up with your values instead of just running on autopilot. My job isn’t to hand out pep talks or paint it all positive—it’s to help you get clearer, steadier, and more intentional about what’s next. And if we can laugh a little in the process, even better.
About Jan
I am progressive in my politics, secular, and I believe that cursing is a valid form of self-expression. Humor is a big part of how I communicate and I believe it can get us through a lot of things.
Despite being a middle-aged white woman who grew up in the south, you will find no bigoted mindset here. I will never pretend to understand the totality of your experience, but I do promise to see you, hear you, and respect you, while being mindful of the systemic, familial, and cultural issues that may be impacting you.
