Anxiety, Depression, & Life Transitions

Anxiety, Depression & Life Transitions: Signs of Inner Transformation

Anxiety, depression, and life transitions are often misunderstood as problems to be fixed—but what if they are actually signals that something inside you is ready for change? When old ways of coping, thinking, or navigating the world stop working, your body and psyche respond. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, but these experiences are often invitations to grow beyond past patterns and step into something new.

Rather than just managing symptoms, I take a somatic and Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach to help you understand and work with what’s happening beneath the surface.

My Approach to Anxiety, Depression & Life Transitions

  • Somatic Awareness & Nervous System Regulation
    Anxiety and depression are deeply connected to your body’s nervous system. If your system is stuck in survival mode—whether in fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown—it can create cycles of overwhelm or exhaustion. Through somatic work, we help your body shift out of these states and build a felt sense of safety and stability.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) & Parts Work
    Anxiety and depression often stem from inner conflict—parts of you trying to protect you while others feel burdened, lost, or stuck. IFS helps you develop a compassionate relationship with these parts, allowing for deep healing and integration so you can move forward with more clarity and ease.

  • Honoring Life Transitions as a Threshold to Growth
    Whether you’re navigating a career change, relationship shifts, or a deep personal transformation, transitions can feel unsettling. But they also hold the potential for profound growth. In therapy, we explore what’s being left behind, what’s emerging, and how to support yourself through the uncertainty of change.

Instead of forcing yourself to “get rid” of anxiety or depression, we work together to listen to what these experiences are telling you—helping you build a new relationship with yourself and step into a more aligned way of being.
