Counseling for life transitions in Gainesville

For the stretch between one chapter and the next, when the old routines are gone and the new ones have not formed yet.

Who this is for

A new kitchen counter with a few unpacked plates and a houseplant

Many clients are in a season of change: a first serious job, a move to Gainesville without knowing anyone, a breakup, an empty house. Some of these changes were chosen and still feel hard.

What we work on

White sneakers, a water bottle and an ab roller on a mat

We look at what the change took away, what it asks of you now, and what you want to keep. Often the work is practical: sleep, routines, limits with family, deciding what to say yes to.

Questions about counseling for life transitions

Can I see you if I live in Florida only part of the year?

Yes, for sessions held while you are physically in Florida, in the office or by video. My Florida license does not cover sessions while you are in another state.
