Therapy for Women in Minnesota Navigating Life Transitions
Support for Career Changes, Parenthood, Divorce, Grief, Midlife, and Personal Growth
Life Can Change Fast—And Sometimes You’re Left Wondering Who You Are Now
Some life transitions come with a warning. Others hit you like a freight train. Whether planned or unexpected, big life changes can leave you feeling off-balance, unsure, or even unrecognizable to yourself.
Maybe you just left a relationship or job.
Maybe you’re navigating motherhood or adjusting to life without kids at home.
Maybe you’re grieving someone you loved, or who you used to be.
Whatever you're facing, you don’t have to figure it out alone. This is a space to pause, process, and regain your footing.
Therapy for Life Transitions and Major Changes
As a woman navigating big life changes—whether you're in your 20s figuring out who you are, or in your 60s redefining what’s next. You may be:
Changing careers, reentering the workforce, or feeling lost after losing a job
Going through a divorce, breakup, or major relationship change
Becoming a mother or adjusting to parenting
Facing an empty nest, a move, or a big lifestyle change
Grieving the loss of a person, a dream, or part of yourself
Asking, “What now?” and feeling stuck between the past and the unknown
These transitions can be disorienting. But they can also be an opening—a chance to reshape your life with intention and self-trust.
What Therapy Can Help With
Emotional clarity and support through grief, anxiety, or overwhelm
Building coping tools to manage stress and uncertainty
Strengthening your boundaries and communication
Reconnecting with your purpose, values, and identity
Feeling grounded, confident, and back in control of your next chapter
How We Will Work Together
As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I offer more than surface-level support. I take a personalized approach to help you unpack what’s weighing you down—without judgment, pressure, or sugarcoating.
Therapy with me is about real-life stuff: messy emotions, uncertain futures, and the process of figuring it out one honest conversation at a time.
I use evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), combined with a compassionate, practical approach to meet you exactly where you are.
I’ll walk with you through the discomfort, help you understand the changes, and remind you of your strength.
