THERAPY FOR LIFE TRANSITIONS
IN AUSTIN

Are you navigating a major change — a career shift, a divorce, a relocation, or the end of a chapter you didn't see coming? Are you dealing with something significant and finding it hard to get your footing, even though you're someone who usually figures things out?

If you're in Austin and looking for a therapist to help you navigate a major life transition, I can help.

Life in Austin

Austin has grown dramatically over the last decade into one of the most dynamic cities in the country. My Austin clients reflect that growth — entrepreneurs, tech transplants from the coasts, executives, and professionals who relocated for opportunity and found themselves navigating a new city, a new culture, and sometimes a new version of themselves at the same time.

Many of my Austin clients moved here from San Francisco, New York, or other major metros. They came for the opportunity, the lifestyle, or both. What they didn't always anticipate was how disorienting it can be to rebuild a life in a new place — new community, new relationships, new sense of where they fit.

What I've found after nearly 30 years working with this kind of client is that the transition itself is rarely the whole problem. It's usually surfacing something that was already there — a question about identity, meaning, or direction that got harder to ignore once the familiar surroundings were gone

What Therapy for Life Transitions Looks Like

Many of my clients come to me not because something is clinically wrong but because they're in the middle of something big and want someone objective and unrelated to them to think it through with. Someone with no stake in the outcome and no history with them.

This is therapy for life transitions. It's practical and forward-focused. You set the goals. I help you get there and stay honest about your progress.

Common transitions I work with include:

Career changes, pivots, and exits — career changes and pivots are common among Austin's growing tech and entrepreneurial community

Divorce and relationship transitions

Relocation — including the identity disruption that comes with leaving a community you've built

Retirement / selling a company and the loss of structure and purpose that can follow

The empty nest

Loss and grief

Why Work With a Licensed Therapist Rather Than a Coach?

Austin has no shortage of executive coaches and life coaches. Coaching is an unregulated industry — anyone can call themselves a coach with no training or accountability. Working with a licensed therapist for life transitions means you're getting someone with clinical training, ethical accountability, and the ability to recognize and address deeper issues if they surface. That's a meaningful difference, especially when the transition is connected to something more complex underneath.

All sessions are conducted via telehealth, which means you can work with me from anywhere in Texas without leaving your home or office

If you're in Austin and navigating a major transition, I invite you to call me at 512-590-9868. I'm always willing to spend a few minutes on the phone to discuss whether I'm a good fit for what you're dealing with.
