Transitions are hard, and life is full of them. Even though growing up, taking on innumerable firsts, and consistently feeling brand new is a part of the human experience, it can feel like with each new change you are losing a little part of who you are. Therapy is a great choice for finding the ‘you’ in the midst of transition. Whether you’re at your first ‘grown up’ job, adjusting to a pregnancy or new baby, newly engaged or uncoupled, or wondering how to make your relationship work now that the kids have all left the nest, you have not lost yourself.
It might feel like you can’t see ‘you’ anymore - and that’s where I come in. Together, we can discuss what you’ve learned and how you’ve grown and how to reconcile the nesting dolls of self that you have stowed inside of you - and allow all of them to be real and true and present.
What does that mean? You can feel the joy of child you, the wonder and freedom of teen you, and the peace of a cared for you. You can again feel like yourself again, only this time updated to where you really are in your life. You can show up in relationships congruently and confidently. I can’t wait to meet you, all versions present and allowed.
