Life Transitions
Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Life transitions can place unexpected stress on even the strongest relationships. Changes such as marriage, parenthood, career shifts, relocation, grief, caregiving, retirement, or changes in identity and priorities can impact communication, emotional connection, and daily routines. Gottman Method couples therapy helps partners navigate these transitions together by actively guiding conversations into deeper understanding of each partner's dreams to create a shared dream and direction. Through evidence-based tools and guided conversations, couples learn how to manage stress more effectively, strengthen emotional intimacy, and adapt to change while staying connected as a team.
The most common life transition that I help couples navigate is the "empty nest." Many people find themselves lonely and resentful at this stage of life and come into therapy to find themselves, their partner, and a new dream of a life together.

Dr. Sharon Herzog
Psychologist, PsyD
My client base ranges from 18 to 90 years old, so I have experience working with all the transitions of adult life. From school to career to marriage to parenthood to menopause to grief. My therapeutic approach of being supportive yet directive, and having insight into the emotions attached to each life stage is a valuable asset I bring to my clients.

Bianca Mackiewicz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Changes in life can throw a lot up to the surface, even when they’re changes you chose. I work with adults moving through shifts in work, relationships, identity, or direction and offer space to process what’s changing and what you need next.

Life Transitions
Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
Life transitions can be a catalyst for new growth or can leave us stuck in paralysis while we grieve all we are leaving behind. The end of a marriage, losing ground in your career, moving from a familiar hometown can all leave us feeling untethered and unable to find our way. Even the most accomplished and confident person can find themselves at a loss when all the recognizable signposts have been moved. During our time together, we can identify both the sorrow in moving forward and the new opportunities that may present themselves in disguise!
