Therapy for Women Navigating Life Transitions in Minnesota
Change Can Be Hard—You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone
​
Life transitions—whether planned or unexpected—can shake your sense of stability and leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of yourself. Even positive changes can come with stress, grief, or fear of the unknown. If you're struggling to adjust to a new phase of life, therapy can offer a compassionate space to process what’s happening and begin to feel more grounded again.
​
Common Signs You're Struggling to Adjust
​
If you’ve recently experienced a major life change and are feeling any of the following on a consistent basis, therapy for life transitions may be a helpful next step:
​
-
Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained
-
Low energy or difficulty sleeping
-
Mood changes, irritability, or increased anxiety
-
Physical symptoms like headaches, digestive issues, or frequent illness
-
Isolating yourself from friends, family, or social activities
-
Loss of motivation or changes in appetite
-
Questioning your self-worth or purpose
-
Feeling resentful, stuck, or uncertain about the future

Life Transitions I Commonly Support
​
You don’t have to go through big life changes alone. I work with women who are navigating transitions that may look different on the outside, but feel similar on the inside—overwhelming, disorienting, and emotionally exhausting.
Here are some of the life shifts I most often help clients work through:
​
-
Becoming a new parent — adjusting to the mental load, identity changes, and constant expectations
-
Workplace stress or job loss — feeling stuck, unmotivated, or questioning your purpose
-
Career pivots — navigating change with uncertainty, imposter syndrome, or burnout
-
Separation or divorce — coping with grief, guilt, or starting over
-
Moving or relocating — leaving behind a sense of community or stability
-
Transitioning into adulthood — facing pressure to “have it all figured out” in college or early career
-
Empty nesting — redefining your identity when roles at home begin to shift
-
Retirement or aging — managing purpose, health changes, or shifting relationships
-
Grieving a loss — whether recent or long ago, grief can resurface during transitions
-
Navigating chronic illness — adjusting emotionally to a new normal
-
Caring for aging parents — balancing caregiving with your own needs and life
