Life Transitions…


What is a major life transition?

Retirement, sale of a business, divorce, loss of a loved one, or health change are all examples of extreme changes. 

Are you experiencing one?

How do you feel about managing this on your own? Where would you put yourself on this journey?

How are you managing it?

Clients in transitions have unique needs, such as how to identify and work through the behavioral and cognitive struggles that can lead to regret.

Our goal is to help you
