Karen Nadel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Has your life been touched by a major event such as a death, divorce or layoffs at work? Are you having a hard time moving through and past the emotional turmoil? Do you feel completely stuck and like you need guidance getting back on track?
There’s no denying that life often presents us with our fair share of challenges, usually in the form of sudden change. These life transitions, even the positive ones, can throw us into a tailspin and leave us feeling stressed, confused and vulnerable. But with the right tools and mindset, you have the power to not only overcome any adversity but also transform into a more authentic and confident version of yourself.
Change Can be Beneficial
Change, even difficult change that is neither wanted or expected, can influence personal growth. Change gives us the opportunity to see what we’re made of; to become stronger, more confident, and better prepared for what life throws at us next. With each new challenge, we develop new personal skills and obtain a greater awareness of ourselves, our family and our communities.
Common Life Transitions
Some of the most common life transitions we help clients navigate are:
Moving away to college
Adjusting to university life or your first professional job
Getting married
Having a new baby
Parenting
Empty nesting syndrome
Breakup, separation or divorce
Retirement
Job loss or major change in career
Relocation
Financial gain/loss
Serious illness or disability
Issues pertaining to aging
Death of a loved one
Questioning the meaning of life
Questioning your faith/spirituality
Sometimes we can handle change and adversity by ourselves and sometimes we need a little help. Dr. Nadel creates an environment where you can speak candidly and receive care, compassion and guidance.

Dr. Karina Luaces
Psychologist, PsyD.
Major life changes — career shifts, relationship changes, loss, relocation, or entering a new chapter — can leave us feeling unmoored. Therapy offers a space to process, find clarity, and move forward with greater confidence and emotional steadiness.

Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Feeling like you always have to get everything “just right” can be exhausting. Perfectionism often leads to stress, procrastination, and fear of making mistakes, even when you’re capable and driven. My focus centers around teaching individuals how to manage high expectations, reduce self-criticism, and build confidence in their efforts, not just the outcome.

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.
