Has your life recently been turned upside down? Are you struggling to adapt to a new set of circumstances?  Are you lost?

Whether it's going off to college, moving to a new town, or losing a loved one, life changes can rattle your foundation and throw you off balance. Even seemingly simple life changes, such as a new job, can cause unexpected stress and discomfort. As you encounter these changes your own coping abilities are challenged, pushing you way outside your comfort zone.  This can cause significant anxiety, self-doubt, and fear. These kinds of challenges can be healthy as they allow you to grow as a person, but sometimes you need help to successfully move through them.

If you've recently experienced a change in your life, and your feeling overwhelmed, I can help you find balance. The following are a range of life changes that I help people navigate. 

• Going to college
• Job change
• New relationships
• Breaking up
• Marriage
• Losing a loved one
• Having a child
• Moving

Do you fear failure?  When faced with change do you feel overwhelmed because you don't think you have what it takes? Do you cling to old habits or relationships, even if they are no longer working for you?  Do you resist making changes because you are afraid of the unknown?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may benefit from a different perspective. A better future is possible.

I work with my clients to address adjustment issues using a variety of approaches. In counseling I help you to identify what is causing distress and then coach you to make the changes necessary to start feeling better.

I'll provide you with support and guidance to get you back on track. To schedule a session, please contact me here.
