Therapy for Challenging Life Changes in Adulthood
A grounded, compassionate space for navigating evolving roles, emotional overwhelm, and the internal shifts that surface during life changes.
*Sessions are available online across Michigan and in-person in Plymouth, Michigan and surrounding areas.
Hi, I’m Bree. Welcome.
When life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or heavier than you expected, you don’t have to sort through it alone. Therapy offers a steady place to slow down, understand what you’re experiencing, and reconnect with a clearer, more grounded version of yourself.
I specialize in supporting adults through challenging life transitions — navigating emotional overwhelm, anxiety, and identity shifts — with advanced understanding of perimenopause.
You may be moving through changes you didn’t expect — or didn’t expect to feel this hard.
You deserve a space where you can breathe, settle, and reconnect with yourself. If you’re navigating emotional changes or feeling unlike yourself lately, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s changing and help you feel steady and more like yourself again.
You Might Be Here Because…
You don’t feel like yourself anymore or feel disconnected from who you used to be
You feel “off,” unsure what you’re feeling, or unable to name what you need
Your emotions feel unpredictable, intense, or hard to manage
You’re overwhelmed, exhausted, and trying to hold everything together
Anxiety, racing thoughts, or constant stress are wearing you down
You appear high-functioning on the outside but feel depleted on the inside
Perimenopause is affecting your mood, focus, sleep, or sense of stability
If any of this resonates, therapy can help you find clarity, steadiness, and a renewed sense of self.
How I Can Help
I offer a calm, grounding therapeutic space to sort through what’s changing — so you can slow down, understand your emotions, and reconnect with what feels steady within you.
Support for Emotional Overwhelm, Anxiety, and Irritability
We’ll explore what’s driving these shifts and develop tools to help you feel more regulated, centered, and in control.
Guidance Through Identity Shifts and Role Transitions
Together, we’ll clarify what you need, explore who you’re becoming, and move through change with more confidence and self-trust.
Therapy for Perimenopause & Midlife Changes
With evidence-based strategies, we’ll address mood swings, anxiety spikes, irritability, sleep changes, and the emotional effects of hormonal shifts — helping you restore steadiness and reconnect with yourself.
What Working WIth Me Is LIke
I offer reliable, high‑quality care in a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself and explore meaningful growth.
My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I create a space where you can talk openly about your experiences — even the parts that feel confusing or hard to name — while moving at a pace that feels safe.
My approach is holistic, integrative, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence‑based practices. It’s person‑centered and strengths‑based, helping you reconnect with what’s steady and resilient within you.
How We’ll Work Together
Our sessions are collaborative, grounding, and focused on real-life tools you can use between sessions.
We may explore:
Mindfulness and grounding practices to regulate your nervous system
Cognitive reframing to shift unhelpful thought patterns
Boundary-setting skills to protect your energy and clarify your needs
Emotional regulation strategies to move through intense feelings with more steadiness
Insight-oriented work to understand long-standing patterns
Reclaiming your sense of agency by strengthening your voice and inner authority
Building a life aligned with who you are now, not who you were expected to be
Life Transitions Across Adulthood
Whether you’re navigating career changes, relationship shifts, parenting transitions, caregiving, or redefining your identity, I offer support that meets you where you are. You don’t have to move through these changes alone.
Young Adulthood
Academic or career stress as you work to gain clarity, find your direction and build a life that feels meaningful
Relationship challenges as you navigate communication, boundaries, and changing dynamics
The emotional adjustment of new parenthood and the shift in identity that comes with caring for a baby
Middle Adulthood
Career changes or reevaluating your path as your priorities evolve
Struggling to maintain work–life balance while carrying multiple responsibilities
Shifting family roles, including caregiving, partnership changes, or parenting older children
Identity changes as you reassess who you are and what you want in this stage of life
Older Adulthood
Health changes that bring new emotional or practical challenges
Adjusting to shifts in independence and finding support that honors your dignity
Navigating changes in living situations and the emotions that come with transition
Support for Perimenopause
Perimenopause can bring emotional intensity, mood swings, anxiety spikes, irritability, sleep changes, and a sense of feeling unsteady or off-balance. These experiences are real—and they deserve care.
Perimenopause isn’t just hot flashes or irregular cycles.
It can impact:
Mood, anxiety, irritability, or emotional sensitivity
Sleep, energy, and mental clarity
Identity, confidence, and sense of self
Boundaries, relationships, and caregiving roles
Work-life balance and career direction
Grief, aging, and shifting priorities
These changes often overlap with other life transitions — parenting, partnership shifts, aging parents, career changes, health concerns, or simply realizing that the life you built no longer fits who you’re becoming.
In therapy, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath the surface, understand the emotional patterns at play, and build tools that help you feel more in control and more connected to yourself so you can move forward with clarity and compassion.
