Trouble starting up after updating

Hello all! I recently tried to upgrade my late 2013 iMac (21.5”) to Sonoma. I was able to successfully install the OS, but now every time I restart I get to the login page and then my Mac freezes there. I’m unable to fully get in and access all my data. I’m open to any suggestions. My iMac has a 1TB hard drive and 8gb of ram.
