Therapy for Midlife Transitions, Grief & Chronic Illness
In person therapy in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Virtual therapy across New Mexico, Washington, and Nevada.
Life doesn't tend to unfold in the way we planned.
There are seasons of life that can leave you feeling unsteady in ways you never expected.
Maybe you're grieving someone you love, adjusting to changes in your health, caring for an aging partner, or maybe aging yourself, and life doesn't quite look the way you thought it would.
Everyone else seems to expect you to keep moving forward, but part of you is still trying to catch up to everything that has changed. You may find yourself feeling sad, lost, frustrated, lonely, or wondering what this next chapter is supposed to look like.
You can still find beauty in this season.
Loss, illness, and major life transitions change us. The goal isn't to pretend they didn't happen or rush yourself back to who you used to be. It's to make space for what's been lost while also remaining open to what still exists and what is still possible.
Over time, many people find greater peace, deeper self compassion, more meaningful relationships, and the ability to experience joy again without feeling like they're leaving anything behind.
Life may look different than you expected, but it can still be beautiful.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
I have a special place in my heart for people navigating the realities of midlife, grief, chronic illness, aging, and life's unexpected moments.
These experiences can bring up big emotions, difficult questions, and changes that alter your entire reality.
There is a big difference between reading about how to navigate these seasons and having someone walk through them with you.
My role isn't to rush you through your grief or convince you to "stay positive." It's to offer a caring relationship, a safe place to land, and evidence based tools that help you make sense of what's happening while finding your own way forward.
