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.

Life Transitions
Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Life transitions—whether planned like moving or graduating, or unexpected like a job loss, divorce, or medical diagnosis—are structural shifts in your identity and routine. The discomfort isn't just about the change itself; it's about the uncomfortable "liminal space" where your old reality is gone and your new one hasn't fully formed yet.

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!

Life Transitions
Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Whether we actively seek a life transition or one happens to us outside our control, we will process the areas of loss and the difficulty these moments often bring to our lives. We will also look for space in these transitions that offer opportunities to re-evaluate the direction of our lives in order to build a life more aligned with our ultimate wants and hopes.
