Life Transitions

New parenthood, a career shift, a divorce, a move, a loss, an empty nest. Major transitions shake something loose in us. The person you were before doesn't quite fit anymore, and the person you're becoming isn't clear yet. You might feel unsteady, overwhelmed, or quietly grieving something you can't fully name. That's not a sign something is wrong with you. It's a sign that something significant is happening, and it deserves real attention.

Why transitions are harder than they look

We tend to underestimate how disorienting change is, even change we wanted. A promotion, a new baby, a move to a place you chose: each one asks you to rebuild your sense of who you are and how you fit in the world. That's not a small thing.

And for the transitions that weren't chosen, the ones that arrived without your permission, the grief and anger and confusion can be even harder to make sense of. There's often no clear moment when you're supposed to feel okay again. That's something therapy can hold.

What the work looks like

We look at who you were before the change, who you're becoming, and the space in between. We make room for whatever you're feeling about it, including the parts that are hard to admit. And we work toward something more solid: a clearer sense of yourself in this new chapter, and what it means to live well inside it.

The Snoqualmie Valley is a place where many people land in the middle of a big life change. A move from the city, a new family, a career pivot. I understand that context because I live it too.

You don't have to have it together to reach out

If you're in the middle of a transition and struggling to find your footing, this is exactly the right time to start. You don't have to wait for things to settle.
