People often think of themselves in certain categories — maybe you see yourself as outgoing or more reserved, easy-going or a little high-strung, an optimist or someone who’s always preparing for the worst. Over time, we all settle into roles, patterns, and ways of handling stress or communicating in relationships. I believe these patterns reflect the many valid ways our brains and experiences shape who we are— there is no single ‘right’ way of being. At the same time, it’s normal to wonder if change might be too hard, too late, or might even complicate your relationships. In therapy, we can look at what’s working, what feels stuck, and explore new ways forward while honoring the strengths you already bring.
Here’s the good news: It’s never too late! Contemporary views of development emphasize the potential for change throughout adult life. In my experience as a therapist working with my clients, I know that positive change and growth are possible at any stage in a person’s life. The years of midlife and beyond can be a unique and rich stage of development where you can reap the benefits of your life experiences. Many middle-aged or older adults are planning for an extended work life, even starting a new job or are pursuing additional education, instead of thinking about retirement. Throughout life, we move through many transitions — starting college or a career, navigating relationships, marriage, parenting, caregiving, or experiencing shifts in identity and roles. Therapy provides a supportive space to process these experiences, explore the emotions that arise, and untangle the societal pressures that often accompany them. My goal is to help people approach these transitions with self-compassion and resilience, seeing them not as obstacles, but as opportunities for growth and renewed clarity.
