Career Transition Therapist Seattle
Moving | Graduation | Work | Relationship | Grief/loss | Parenting | Marriage
Transitions can bring up fear, grief, and questions about who you really are. Whether you're navigating cultural expectations, shifting identities, or existential uncertainty, therapy is a space where you can be messy, honest, and real.
Life transition therapy for young adults in the Greater Seattle Area and Washington State.
What Makes This Different from Other Life Transition Therapy?
I specialize in working with young adults and high achievers navigating major life transitions, career changes, and tech burnout. We explore the deeper "why" behind your stress and uncertainty for lasting change—not just coping strategies—in a space where perfectionism and cultural pressures are understood. I offer therapy for burnout in tech Seattle and throughout Washington State, making specialized support accessible wherever you are.
Unlike approaches that only focus on stress management, I combine:
Career-Specific Understanding: As a career transition therapist, I understand professional identity struggles, burnout cycles, and high-achievement culture
Psychodynamic Insight: Exploring how family expectations, cultural values, and past experiences shape your transition experience
Burnout Expertise: Specialized support for tech workers and high achievers facing chronic stress and exhaustion
Cultural Awareness: Addressing how cultural expectations, immigration experiences, and generational pressures impact life transitions

I’m ready for lasting change
Starting therapy can feel scary, and that's completely okay. It takes courage to step into the unknown and face what's been weighing on you. Know that you don't have to have all the answers or the right words—just showing up is enough. This is a space where you are seen, heard, and supported without judgment. Growth isn't about perfection; it's about allowing yourself to be real, to heal, and to move forward at your own pace.
You are not alone in this—I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
