Life Transitions and Identity

Some transitions feel obvious — graduating, moving, losing a loved one, starting or ending a relationship.

Others are more subtle: waking up and realizing you don’t recognize yourself anymore. Shifting into adulthood. Leaving a belief system. Outgrowing friendships. Feeling stuck in the in-between, like you’re no longer who you were, but not quite who you’re becoming.

Life transitions can stir up anxiety, grief, identity confusion, and a deep sense of uncertainty. You might find yourself questioning everything:

• “What do I actually want?”

• “Is this still who I am?”

• “Why does everyone else seem to have it figured out but I feel so lost?”

Even positive changes — new jobs, moving in with a partner, becoming more independent — can bring up fear, regret, or a surprising sense of grief. Therapy offers a place to make sense of these shifts without pressure or judgment.

I offer therapy for life transitions in Golden, CO and virtually across Colorado, supporting teens and young adults (ages 16–35) who are navigating identity shifts, career uncertainty, relationship changes, and the quiet unraveling that often comes with growth. We’ll slow things down, explore what’s coming up, and help you reconnect with your intuition — so you can move forward with more clarity, self-trust, and ease.
