You’re not broken. You’re BECOMING.
When everything around you is shifting - or when something inside you is - it's okay to not have it all figured out. Let’s help you make meaning from who you are and who you're becoming.
When life changes, everything can feel up in the air.
Even if you chose the change - or it “should” be exciting - something still feels off.
You might be in the middle of a big life transition:
A move, a breakup, a career shift, becoming a parent, caring for a loved one, or entering a new phase of life like college, midlife, or retirement.
Or maybe your circumstances haven’t changed that much…
…but inside, something is shifting.
You’re asking bigger questions, feeling unsure of who you are, or noticing that the roles you’ve been playing don’t fit quite right anymore.
Sometimes growth feels you’re unraveling. Together, we’ll gently sort through the threads - so you can weave the intricate tapestry of your self.
Do you feel startled, powerless, confused, or resentful of this transition?
Change is messy. It can bring up grief, anxiety, identity confusion, or even a sense of disconnection from yourself or your body.
You might feel:
Emotionally stuck, numb, or out of sorts
Unmotivated or unsure where to go next
Like you’ve lost touch with who you are or what matters to you
Burdened by pressure to “have it all figured out”
Alone, like no one else really gets it
Transitions ask us to let go of what was and face the uncertainty of what’s next. That’s hard. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
You want to slow things down.
In therapy, we help you listen to what your body, emotions, and deeper self are trying to tell you.
This isn’t about giving you answers from the outside.
It’s about helping you find your own.
You’ll have space to:
Explore your identity without judgment
Grieve what you’ve lost or outgrown
Reconnect with your values, goals, and sense of direction
Understand how past experiences shape your present choices
Feel more steady and confident in who you are becoming
You’ve received an invitation to reconnect with yourself.
Each time there’s a shift, there’s an invitation to continue becoming.

You might feel like you’ve always had questions about who you are, but never had the space or support to fully explore them. Maybe you’ve recently begun to think about your gender more deeply, or perhaps you've known for a while but haven’t felt safe enough to speak it out loud. This can be a confusing, emotional, and liberating time - and you don’t have to go through it alone.
Whether you’re just starting to explore your gender identity, navigating coming out, considering transition, or living in a world that often misunderstands you, therapy can be a place to land. Together, we’ll create space where your identity is respected, your experience is honored, and your process unfolds at your pace. You deserve care that sees you clearly and helps you feel more at home in your own skin.

Retirement isn’t just about stopping work - it’s a major life transition that often brings unexpected questions: Who am I now? What do I want next? What’s still unfinished? Whether you’re newly retired or approaching this shift, the change can feel both freeing and disorienting.
You may be reflecting on your legacy, feeling lost without a sense of routine, or noticing emotional pain that’s resurfacing now that life has slowed down. This chapter can stir up grief, old wounds, and the need to redefine your identity and purpose. Therapy can offer support and space for these reflections. You don’t have to figure it all out alone - we’re here to help you rediscover meaning, process what’s unresolved, and create a next chapter that feels whole and intentional.

Living fully as your authentic self - especially in a world that hasn’t always made space for you and may be dangerous right now - is brave and not always easy. You may be out and still feel unseen, or questioning where you fit and unsure how to begin. Maybe you're navigating a new relationship with your identity later in life, or trying to heal from rejection, erasure, or internalized shame.
Therapy can be a space to explore your identity with curiosity, safety, and deep support. Whether you’re processing queerphobia, coming out, building chosen family, or wanting to feel more affirmed in your body and relationships, we’re here to hold space for all of it - with no pressure and no assumptions. You deserve to feel whole, valid, and connected.

It’s a strange feeling - when the people you’ve cared for so deeply no longer need you in the same way. Whether you're an empty nester adjusting to the quiet or a caregiver navigating burnout and identity loss, this shift can stir up unexpected grief, confusion, or loneliness.
You may be asking, “Who am I now that my role is changing?” The truth is, your identity matters just as much as the ones you’ve supported. Therapy can help you explore what’s next - not by erasing your caregiving role, but by making space for the parts of you that may have been quieted or put on hold. You don’t have to keep pushing through. You deserve support, too.
-
You’ve carried a lot - often without acknowledgment. Maybe it’s the exhaustion of navigating systems that intentionally excluded you, or the pressure of code-switching and holding multiple parts of your identity in tension just to feel safe. You may feel the weight of being “the only one,” “not x (Black, masculine, gay, strong) enough,” or like your story gets flattened into a stereotype before it’s ever heard.
Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to explain the impact of racism, microaggressions, generational trauma, or cultural expectations - because we already understand that those experiences matter. You deserve a space that sees the full complexity of who you are: your race, gender, class, faith, sexuality, ability, and everything in between.
Whether you’re navigating identity, healing from intergenerational pain, or simply trying to make sense of where you fit, therapy offers room to explore safely and fully. Here, all parts of you are welcome - without shame, without minimizing, and without needing to shrink or shout.
You're not broken. You're becoming.
Change can be confusing—even when it’s expected. You might be in a season of life that’s making you question who you are, what you want, or where you’re going. Maybe you’ve recently retired, your kids have left home, a major relationship has shifted, or your body no longer feels the same. These changes can bring up old wounds, stir up anxiety or sadness, or leave you wondering, What now?
Or maybe your identity itself is changing in a deeper way. You might be exploring your gender, stepping into your queerness, questioning long-held beliefs, or reflecting on how different parts of your identity—race, culture, family, faith—have shaped how safe, seen, or connected you feel in the world.
It can feel lonely, even disorienting, to be in the middle of becoming. You might feel like you’ve outgrown old roles or expectations, but don’t yet know what comes next. Therapy can give you space to slow down, breathe, and figure things out without pressure.
This isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you feel more like you, even as the shape of your life changes. Together, we can explore what matters most to you, what’s shifting inside you, and how to build a life that reflects the person you’re becoming.
There is no deadline for growth. There’s no “too late” to feel at home in your own skin.
If you’re grieving a life chapter that’s ending—or stepping into a new one and feeling unsure—this space is here for you.
