Life Transitions

Helping you navigate your new normal

A child graduating and you finding yourself as an empty nester can spur grief

Transitions marked by celebration

High school graduation, retirement, starting your own business, or going back to a career after years of staying home are the milestones society welcomes. You planned for years what it would be like to be empty nesters, repeating the mantra, “When the kids are in school I will follow my dream.” But while society celebrates these events with parties and toasts, you’re not given a guidebook on what this means for your life.

Navigating these changes will bring about some feelings you would expect: excitement, anticipation, and gratitude, but also some that are a lot less talked about fear, imposter syndrome, loneliness, or questioning if this is really what you want.

Counseling for grief, death of a loved one, sudden illness, relocation sadness

Transitions that aren’t welcomed

There are other transitions, those forced on us by life or others: divorce, loss of job, loss of a loved one or relationship, disability, illness, or relocation. These are transitions that can bring up feelings that are much harder to discuss over dinner with the girls. Anger, abandonment, grief, relief, or hopelessness are very real on top of the actual situation you have to face daily. Friends, family, and colleagues can be a place of support, but when you acknowledge the toll this is taking on you, it may not be enough. A professional therapist can make a big difference.

What my clients say:

  • Megan has walked alongside me in some of my best and worst times. She is a patient, realistic, and supportive therapist and I leave each session with an actual plan of what I want to focus/work on. I am grateful for Megan's professionalism, insightful reflections, and her guidance. Working with Megan has been life-altering for me and I can't imagine where I would be had I not begun working with her 6+ years ago.

    Lisa G.

  • Megan has walked alongside me during my lowest lows and was there to support me through it all. At the end of every session, I left with an action plan for the week that would guide me in my growth journey toward being a healthier me.

    Sandy S.

  • Megan was amazing from day one. She is easy to talk to and creates a relaxing environment. She LISTENS, encourages, helps with strategies, and holds you accountable. I 1000% recommend Megan, she is an excellent counselor.

    Suzanne D.

  • Working with Megan was a life-changing experience. Megan gave me the tools to help me understand myself better and navigate my various roles; as a mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, and colleague. The skills I gained helped me process, reflect on, and take action in my personal and professional life.

    Rachell P.

  • Megan is, by far, the most compassionate and caring therapist that I have ever worked with. She helped me navigate through some of the most difficult times in my life. Words cannot adequately describe how thankful I am for Megan being there to support me when I needed support the most.
