Therapy for Life Transitions in Ontario
Online Support When Everything Is Shifting
Transitions come in many forms. Some are chosen, others are not. Some bring relief, others bring grief. Whether you are starting something new, letting go of something old, or standing in the space between, transitions often ask more of us than we expect. Even positive changes can feel disorienting. Moving, changing careers, becoming a parent, retiring, ending a relationship, stepping away from a role, these moments can stir up questions about identity, values, and purpose. They often surface old patterns or bring up new fears. Therapy during times of transition creates a space to pause, reflect, and respond with clarity. It is not just about managing change, it is about navigating it in a way that is true to you.
Signs You May Be in a Transition
You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Transitions are periods of emotional, spiritual, and psychological stretching.
Some signs include:
* Feeling lost, untethered, or unsure of what comes next
* Grieving a role or identity you once held
* Re-evaluating what matters or where you belong
* Questioning relationships, faith, or career paths
* Experiencing inner conflict between who you were and who you are becoming
* A sense that you cannot keep living the same way
* You may not know what kind of support you need yet.
That is okay. We can start by noticing what is changing and what it is asking of you.
Therapy That Meets You in the In-Between
I work with clients who are navigating all kinds of change, some external and visible, others internal and private. You might be stepping away from a caregiving role, leaving a ministry position, retiring, returning to work after a loss, moving to a different community or entering a new season that feels unfamiliar.
In therapy you can:
* Name what has been lost or left behind
* Explore what is emerging
* Understand the meaning of the change
* Rebuild a sense of identity and grounding
* Hold space for grief, relief, or both
* Practice being present to uncertainty
* My work draws from narrative therapy, values-based reflection, spiritual care principles, and evidence-based approaches to self-regulation and acceptance.
Who I Support
I offer therapy for transitions that include:
* Retirement, relocation, or changes in family roles
* Shifts in faith, calling, or professional identity
* Relationship endings or major life decisions
* Medical or health-related changes
* Loss of capacity or role due to caregiving
* Seasons of inner change that are hard to name
These are not small things. You deserve support that honors the complexity of what you are holding.
Why Online Therapy
Transitions can be exhausting. Online therapy allows you to access support from wherever you are — whether you live in Toronto, Mississauga, Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge, or in a more rural part of Ontario. You do not have to wait until you feel stable. This work is meant for the in-between places.
Therapy as a Threshold
Life transitions are not interruptions, they are thresholds, spaces between what has been and what is not yet. Therapy offers a place to rest, reflect, and regain your footing as you cross them.
Book a session if you are in a season of change and would like a space to sort through what is unfolding. You can also explore the identity or grief pages if you are holding more than one layer at once.
