Life Transitions
Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Periods of change—even positive ones—can bring uncertainty, anxiety, or a sense of losing your footing. Therapy focuses on helping you make sense of what’s shifting, stay grounded through the transition, and move forward in a way that feels intentional rather than reactive.

Life Transitions
Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Life transitions can bring both opportunity and uncertainty. I work with adults and parents who are navigating major changes such as becoming a parent, shifts in relationships, career changes, relocation, or other periods of personal growth and adjustment. Even positive changes can create stress, self-doubt, or a sense of feeling ungrounded.
In therapy, we create space to slow down and make sense of these transitions. My approach integrates relational and neuroscience-informed perspectives to help clients better understand their emotional responses, clarify what matters most to them, and move through change with greater confidence and self-understanding. Together, we work to build resilience and support clients in navigating new chapters in a way that feels authentic and aligned with their values.

Life Transitions
Emily Watson Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, EMDR-C, GC-C
Difficult life transitions (whether chosen or unexpected) can unsettle your sense of identity, safety, and direction. An integrative, holistic approach helps by supporting you on multiple levels at once. Rather than just helping you “get through” a transition, this blended approach supports you in integrating the experience so that you can move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and alignment with your values.

Life Transitions
Tracey Kiernan
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Major life changes, including perimenopause, can feel destabilizing physically, emotionally, and relationally. I help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, find your footing, and move through transitions with more clarity and self-trust.

Life Transitions
Micaela Magazzu-Alaman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Even wanted changes can bring uncertainty, grief, anxiety, and questions about who we are becoming. Career changes, moves, changing relationships, graduation, caregiving, shifts in identity, aging, and other transitions can disrupt the routines and roles that once helped life feel predictable.
Therapy can provide space to slow down and understand what a transition is bringing up for you. Together, we can explore what you are leaving behind, what you want to carry forward, what no longer fits, and what you hope to create next.
You do not need to have the next chapter completely figured out. Sometimes transition is less about immediately finding an answer and more about learning how to remain connected to yourself while things are changing.
