Milestones

Often a client comes into my office feeling abnormal in some way for experiencing a change of heart, conflict or tension in their relationships, or confusion about his or her next step. What can be revealed is a very normal yet somewhat uncomfortable approach toward a what is called a developmental milestone. Whether a teen faces a dilemma in his or her desire for independence, a couple experiences conflicting feelings of whether they want to start a family, an individual feels compelled to make a career shift, all of these moments are important milestones we face in our human development. Although milestones may symbolize a transition away from the familiar, they are an opening for new growth and self actualization. Therapy can provide a space for authentic reflection on what has shifted, and where life may be headed.
