Life is full of transitions — some we see coming, others that catch us completely off guard. What surprises many people is that even the changes we've longed for can leave us feeling disoriented, anxious, or strangely grief-stricken. Getting married, having a baby, a new career, or retiring can all bring an unexpected emotional complexity that can leave us wondering if something is wrong with us.
Then there are the transitions we know will be hard — divorce, loss, an empty nest, a health challenge — where we brace ourselves but still find the experience more layered and difficult than we expected. Shouldn't I be happier about this? Shouldn't I be over this by now? The truth is, change — even welcome change — asks something significant of us. It can stir up grief for what we're leaving behind, anxiety about what lies ahead, and questions about who we are in this new chapter.
I work with people to move through these moments with greater ease and self-compassion. In my experience, navigating a transition thoughtfully and with the right support can become more than something to endure — it can be a profound opportunity to know and trust yourself more deeply.
