- Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or dissatisfied with your life and wondering what to do next?
- Perhaps you’re reeling from the changes that motherhood, peri-menopause, or menopause has brought to your body image, your emotional state, and your outlook on life?
- Have you reached a point where life isn’t what you expected?
At any age, life transitions can be overwhelming. You may be at a loss with how to manage events that don’t go away like the illness of someone you love; or feeling like a part of you is gone after the loss of a loved one. You find yourself longing for a sign from the uncommitted partner or you’re frustrated with the job where you feel like you’re going nowhere. Most of all, there’s this unrelenting desire to break free from it all and do something different but you’re uncertain of where to take the next step.
These stressors can lead down a path of loneliness, depression, self-doubt, feeling not good enough, or paralyzed with anxiety. You may have been there already? You’ve tried some things but nothing has much effect or lasts for long. How you cope with and integrate these life-changing transitions will determine the quality of your life to come. You know this and that’s why you’re here.
Having someone who can help you make meaning of the many challenges you’re facing and find purpose in life is part of a good plan. I provide counseling tailored for women’s issues and changes. Together we will develop a strategy to move through your transition with supportive and concrete steps to find meaning, clarity, and joy. These insights can nourish, empower, and set in motion ways for you to find satisfaction in the midst of change and move you toward the next chapter of your life.
