Life Transitions, Meaning & Personal Growth
Life doesn’t always follow a clear path. You might find yourself asking questions like: Who am I now? What really matters to me? What do I do with this feeling of restlessness or disorientation? These moments of uncertainty often mark the beginning of deep change.
Whether you’re moving through a career shift, an identity transition, grief, or a quiet internal unraveling, therapy offers a space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface—and begin to shape a more grounded, meaningful way forward.
This work isn’t about rushing to answers. It’s about slowing down enough to listen to the parts of you asking to be heard.
This may include:
Exploring personal values, beliefs, and emotional responses to change
Untangling internal contradictions that keep you feeling stuck or unsure
Reimagining what it means to live with purpose, presence, and alignment
Existential & Identity Exploration
Sometimes what brings someone to therapy isn’t a crisis, but an ache—an inner dissonance that something feels off, or a quiet longing to understand themselves more fully. This is often the work of identity reconstruction: shedding roles, beliefs, or patterns that once served a purpose but no longer feel true.
Therapy can help clarify who you are becoming—not as a fixed label, but as a living, evolving process. It can also help make sense of existential anxiety, inner conflicts, or even spiritual unease that arises when your worldview begins to shift.
This might involve:
Exploring how early experiences, relationships, or systems shaped your sense of self
Working through existential themes like death, freedom, aloneness, and meaning
Reconstructing internal frameworks that support clearer perception and emotional truth
Tuning into dreams, imagination, or body-based signals as messengers of the psyche
Spiritual Growth & Integration
For those who feel a deeper pull—for meaning, for connection, for wholeness.
There are parts of life that logic can’t fully explain. Whether through a spiritual awakening, a dark night of the soul, or a quiet inner knowing that something more is possible, therapy can support the unfolding of your inner life in a way that’s grounded, personal, and respectful of your beliefs.
This is a space where your spiritual curiosity, existential reflections, and emotional realities can coexist—without needing to choose one over the other. Influenced by thinkers like Carl Jung, this work often includes attention to dreams, symbols, mythic patterns, and the unseen dimensions of your experience.
Depending on your needs, we might explore:
The integration of spiritual experiences, insights, or crises
Rebuilding a relationship with inner wisdom and intuitive knowing
Reflecting on your evolving philosophy of life, and how it shapes your choices
Weaving together meaning, emotion, and action in everyday life
