life transitions

for the space between who you were and who you're becoming

Life transitions don't just change your circumstances. They change who you are. The identity that made sense in the previous chapter starts to feel ill-fitting, or hollow, or simply no longer true.

That space between, the place where you've left something behind and haven't yet found your footing in what's next, is one of the most disorienting places a person can inhabit. At Path of Purpose in Boulder, this is exactly the territory I work in.

life transitions

this might be right for you if...

  • The ground has shifted and the old map isn't working
  • A transition that looked good from the outside has left you feeling more lost than you expected
  • You're grieving a chapter that needed to end but still mattered
  • You're between versions of yourself and don't know how to get to the next one
  • You want to move through this transition with intention rather than just survive it

frequently asked questions

What if I don't know what I want the next chapter to look like?

That's exactly where this work begins. Not knowing isn't a problem to solve before you can start. It's the territory we enter together. The goal isn't to arrive with a plan. It's to develop enough clarity about who you actually are, what you actually value, and what this transition is asking of you, that the next chapter can emerge from something real rather than something you've been told to want.

Is this therapy or life coaching?

Therapy. The distinction matters because coaching focuses on goals, strategy, and forward movement. What I offer goes deeper, into the identity, the grief, the self-concept, and the patterns that transitions surface. We're not optimizing your next chapter. We're understanding what this one is asking of you at a level that actually changes something.

What if my transition looks fine from the outside but feels terrible on the inside?

That's one of the most common and least acknowledged experiences of major transitions. The promotion, the move, the relationship milestone that everyone celebrates while you feel hollowed out or lost. That gap between the external success and the internal experience is real and it deserves a space. You don't need your transition to look hard to deserve support.
