My Primary Specialty
Life Transitions
The old routine is gone and the new one hasn't settled yet. That in-between place is where I do some of my favorite work.
Who This Is For
When the shape of your life changes
Change can be something you chose, like a new baby or a new job, and still knock you sideways. It can also arrive without asking, like a layoff, a diagnosis in the family or a marriage ending.
I work with women, parents and older adults who feel unsteady in a season of change. You may be grieving the old chapter while trying to plan the next one.
What We Work On
Transitions people bring to me
- 01
Becoming a parent
The first baby, a second or third, or a family growing through adoption.
- 02
Returning to work
Going back after leave, or after years at home with kids.
- 03
Career shifts
A new role, a lost job or the decision to start over.
- 04
Kids growing up
The last child heading to kindergarten, to college or out of the house.
- 05
Relationship changes
Moving in, marrying, separating or redefining a friendship.
- 06
Caring for aging parents
Becoming the one who manages appointments for the people who once cared for you.
- 07
Grief alongside change
Missing what was, even when what is coming is good.
How I Work
Finding footing during the in-between
CBT
We sort out the beliefs that make change feel like failure, such as "I should have this figured out by now," and build a plan with steps you can actually take this month.
DBT
We use skills for sitting with uncertainty, handling waves of sadness or fear, and making decisions from a calmer place.
What Sessions Look Like
Steady time while everything else moves
- Where
- Virtual, from anywhere in New York State
- Length
- 45 to 50 minutes
- When
- Day, evening and weekend times
Weekly video sessions give you one fixed point when the rest of the calendar keeps changing. We can meet in the day, evening or on a weekend, and adjust as your schedule settles.
You don't have to love the change to find your way through it.
What Can Shift
- A clearer picture of what you want next
- Room to grieve what you are leaving behind
- More confidence in the decisions in front of you
These are hopes we work toward together, not guarantees.
