Life Transitions

You’ve made the brave decision to seek therapy to help with the feelings of anxiety, overwhelm and lack of control that you can’t seem to shake.

You’ve heard before that “The only constant in life is change,” but it hasn’t seemed to help you find the peace you are so desperate for. A relationship has ended, you’re facing a divorce, a career change is on the horizon or you are adjusting to a challenging health diagnosis…

A major shift of some kind is occurring in your life and no matter how prepared you thought you were to handle it, the experience has derailed you.

You feel confused and frustrated that life is so much less enjoyable as a result of all the stress and you’ve been hard on yourself for not handling things better.

You may have noticed feelings of anxiety, anger or depression start to manifest and it may have felt easier or safer to avoid facing the fact that your circumstances are taking a very real toll on you and your life.

You’ve realized that support from friends and family can only take you so far. Seeking therapy is often the bravest but hardest step to take.

My name is Cecelia and as a marriage and family therapist, I find great joy in helping people like you who are in the midst of a major life change, face it with courage and clarity.

After all is said and done, my hope for you would be that this difficult season of life will come to hold memories of reflection, self-compassion and heightened awareness.

Together, we will explore new ways of helping you handle all the stress and uncertainty and focus on locating ways you will begin to adapt and heal from the changes you’ve been faced with. Many life transitions can be filled with mixed emotions and it is very common to experience feelings of joy and relief coupled with worry, grief and overwhelm during these unsteady periods in life.

During therapy with me, we will address the myriad of feelings that may arise and together we will unearth your untapped strengths with the hopes of increasing your insight into how the past has shaped your current response to this tough time.

I can help you take the steps you need to tune in to your resilience and address this moment with clarity, bravery and persistence. Please reach out to me today for your complimentary consultation to see how I might help.
