You are struggling now that things have changed…

After I became a parent, I lost my sense of identity, my relationships weren’t the same, and all of the information out there was super overwhelming.

It was difficult to navigate such a big life transition on my own and I knew I needed to find more support. That’s when I realized that there is not nearly enough support out there to help people navigate life transitions.

You might try speaking with your friends and family, but find that it isn’t always helpful or they aren’t available in the way that you need them to be. You look things up on the internet, but you just end up feeling guilty and overwhelmed. You think it’s time to speak to a therapist, but it’s hard to find the right fit. All of that can change.

Through our therapy sessions, you will feel supported, understood, and better able to navigate the changes.

Once I started examining my relationships, working on my perspective, and being more intentional with my time, things got better. I started taking better care of myself. I was able to feel more at ease within the chaos.

Self care, perspective, and being able to let things go have all been key to making life feel more relaxing and intuitive for me.

I can help you get there too.

Why Seek Support During Life Transitions?

Becoming a parent, grieving the death of a loved one, coping after a traumatic event, career shifts, divorce, navigating new health concerns, and relocation are life changes that can be stressful and emotionally draining. It can be hard to manage stress and process feelings on your own. Therapy can help you cope with the changes, learn healthier coping skills, and provide a much needed space to process your feelings.

Why Start Couples Therapy?

Couples often get stuck in unhealthy patterns of communication, have resentments that build up over time, and have trouble effectively communicating needs. Couples therapy is a space to learn better communication skills, address and let go of past resentments, and understand one another’s needs better. Couples therapy can also be essential if you have a strong relationship but are about to enter into a new phase of life, such as becoming parents or relocating, because the dynamics will inevitability shift. Those shifts can be hard to navigate on your own.

What clients say

“After a traumatic birth experience I knew I needed help in order to find the courage to have the second child my partner and I both wanted.

Vanessa was sympathetic, kind and completely understanding of what I had gone through. She listened to my story without judgement and had great advice when I needed it. I’m so grateful for her help.

When it came time for the birth of my second I went into it with confidence in myself and my doctors, and that would not have been possible without Vanessa.”
