Life transitions are rife with stressors...

life transitions letting go moving on change is constant

“This is not a time to make big decisions” is the popular advice for those moving to a new area, taking a new job, losing an old job, or going through a breakup. Yet, often chaos begets chaos, and we need something/someone to slow us down.

I sought counseling as a way of slowing down in order to feel what my busyness was distracting from. When I moved to college, student support services had it on campus for FREE! After graduating I began working in the therapeutic industry I was so inspired. And being surrounded by kind and helpful people thousand of miles away from home was necessary when re-rooting my life across the country.

Now, it seems like people come and go, jobs and education transition in and out. And fortunately there are those who are available at just the right time to come alongside you. Sometimes friends, sometimes family, sometimes coworkers, sometimes a therapist…
