Has Your Life Taken a
Complicated Twist?
Are you a successful professional whose life has been upended by a sudden, unanticipated change?
Do you feel let down or discouraged because you were counting on getting promoted, buying a home, or becoming a new parent, but things haven't panned out the way you expected?
Or perhaps you're navigating a transition that you saw coming--like moving to a new town or ending a marriage--but still having trouble coping with the change.
Life can feel easier.
Life is Seldom Easy,
Especially for the Ambitious
When change happens abruptly or dramatically, it can have a powerful impact on your well-being. For instance, you may be so busy second-guessing yourself and overthinking the future that you’re often irritable, sleeping poorly, and not taking care of your basic needs. You may be dealing with stress and anxiety that’s causing muscle tension, panic attacks, or frequent feelings of guilt.
A lack of self-confidence or self-acceptance may be making it difficult to connect with others in your new situation. And the drastic departure from everything familiar has probably left you feeling depressed and isolated, wondering if life will ever regain a sense of normalcy.
Change can be scary—even traumatic—but it doesn’t have to rob you of opportunities for a more fulfilling life. With my help, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and a new perspective on your situation that can help you heal, grow, and navigate your new life with resilience.
You can find peace within.
Change is an
Inevitable
Part of Life
People experience major life changes every 12 to 18 months. Although it’s a fundamental part of being human, it’s also something that most of us were never taught how to navigate.
A huge setback for many people coping with life transitions is the social impact. Changing careers, moving to a new city, losing lifelong friends, and isolating from a familiar community are all factors that can contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.
You can change your future.
Without Support, It's Easy to Get Lost
in the Chaos of Change
Community gives people a sense of belonging and identity that nourishes emotional resilience—and stability often equates with safety. So when those two elements of a person’s life are compromised, it can have a powerful impact on their overall well-being. Even beautiful, sublime changes—like getting married, having a child, or landing a dream job—can interrupt an individual’s sense of security.
Even more so, with the Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of folks are dealing with financial worries, family conflict, and a deep feeling of uncertainty. Many are even grieving the loss of a loved one on top of everything else.
So if you feel like you’re just barely hanging on sometimes, you’re not alone—and things can get better. My job is to help you come to a place of clarity and peace where you can discover the strength, courage, and confidence within you to navigate change on your own.
