Women's Life Transitions

A woman's life can be a balancing act between relationship, family, career and nurturing herself. She will go through many transitions and challenges over the course of her life. I offer counseling services to help women during those transitions, through self-discovery, changing unwanted patterns and learning new ways of relating. Here are some areas where I can be of service to women of any age:
  • Career —
     
        Transitioning into the job force
        Balancing career with everything else
        Coping with job stress
        Pre- and post-retirement
     
  • Grief & Loss —
     
        Losing someone you love
        Pet loss
