Navigating Life Transitions
Change is hard, even when it's good change, even when you wanted it, even when you know it's the right choice. Whether you're navigating divorce, career shifts, becoming a parent, loss, moving, or other major transitions, your nervous system is working overtime to adapt.
Life transitions dismantle the routines, relationships, and identities that once felt stable. For people with ADHD, this can be especially destabilizing: transitions often mean losing the external structures and routines that help you function. You're expected to rebuild while you're still grieving what's gone, to move forward while processing loss, to be functional while everything shifts beneath your feet.
Big changes, even positive ones, can activate old wounds and trigger your nervous system's threat response. Your body might remember past transitions that weren't safe. Uncertainty itself becomes overwhelming when your brain is trying to predict every possible outcome while also grieving.
I work with life transitions using a trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, somatic approach. We work directly with your nervous system to help it recalibrate, process what you're grieving, build regulation skills, and help your body recognize that even in uncertainty, you can be safe.
The goal isn't to rush through the transition. It's to move through it with presence, self-compassion, and clarity about who you're becoming.
