Making Sense of Change and Finding Your Next Step
Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can shake our sense of identity and stability. If you're navigating a career change, relationship shift, or health challenge, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are in the midst of it all.
I offer therapy for life transitions in Summit, NJ and virtually across PSYPACT states to help you process change with clarity, resilience, and self-compassion.
Therapy can be a supportive space to explore what’s shifting in your life, how it’s affecting you emotionally, and what your next steps might look like—without pressure to have it all figured out.
Career Changes
You might be here because you...
-
Feel stuck in a job that no longer feels fulfilling but aren’t sure what comes next.
-
Are considering a career change but feel overwhelmed by uncertainty, self-doubt, or fear of making the wrong move.
-
Have recently left a job—by choice or unexpectedly—and are struggling with the transition.
-
Feel burned out, unmotivated, or disconnected from the work that once gave you purpose.
If this feels familiar, you are in the right place.
Career transitions can bring up excitement, fear, and self-doubt all at once. You may find yourself questioning your identity, your values, or your ability to make the “right” choice.
Whether you’re considering a new direction or processing burnout, therapy can help you clarify your values, move through decision-making anxiety, and take steps toward a career that feels more aligned with who you are.
Relationship Changes
You might be here because you...
-
Are navigating the end of a relationship and struggling with grief, loneliness, or uncertainty about the future.
-
Feel stuck in an unhealthy dynamic but aren’t sure what to do next.
-
Are adjusting to a major shift in a long-term partnership—like marriage, separation, or blended family changes.
-
Want to improve the way you communicate and set boundaries in your relationships.
Whatever your path has looked like, I'm glad you found your way here.
Changes in relationships can shake your sense of stability and identity.
Whether you are coming to therapy to process a breakup, navigate divorce, or cope with loneliness, therapy can help you process these changes and challenges.
In therapy, we’ll work to identify your values, understand your relationship needs, strengthen your ability to set healthy boundaries, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Health Changes
You might be here because you...
-
Are adjusting to a new medical diagnosis and feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty or fear.
-
Have experienced a major health change and are struggling to reconnect with yourself and your body.
-
Feel frustrated, anxious, or lost navigating a healthcare system that doesn’t always feel supportive.
-
Are coming to terms with limitations, changes in ability, or the emotional impact of chronic illness.
You’ve taken an important first step just by exploring this, and I’m here to help with what comes next.
Health changes affect more than just the body—they often shift our roles, our routines, and our relationship with ourselves.
If you find yourself struggling to navigate a new diagnosis or are grappling with changes in your identity following chronic illness, therapy can help.
Therapy offers space to process these shifts, manage the emotional weight of medical uncertainty, and find ways to care for yourself—mentally and physically—through the transition.
My Approach
My approach to therapy is collaborative, active, and grounded in research. I primarily draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a flexible, evidence-based model that helps you make space for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking meaningful steps toward the life you want.
Whether you’re navigating a career shift, the end of a relationship, or a health challenge, therapy can help you clarify your values and take action that aligns with who you want to be.
I also incorporate tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing stress, decision-making, and uncertainty. It’s okay to feel unsure. Therapy gives you the space to figure things out, one step at a time.
Therapy works best when it continues between sessions. I often suggest reflection exercises, mindfulness practices, or values-based worksheets to help deepen your progress outside the therapy room. That might mean journaling thoughts and feelings, exploring how you want to treat yourself and others, or practicing new ways of communicating. These tools are always adapted to fit your goals and capacity each week.
My hope is that therapy becomes more than just a place to process—it becomes an investment in your long-term well-being. By the end of our work together, my goal is for you to leave with a stronger sense of self, clarity about what matters most, and the skills to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and self-trust.
