Not only has your body stopped feeling like your own, but you’re also navigating a whole new you. You’re thinking, “This isn’t me”
You’re experiencing an emotional rollercoaster - struggling with mood swings, anxiety, sadness and irritability
Your emotions feel out of control and hard to manage - you’re quick to cry, snap, or feel overwhelmed
It’s getting hard to stay focused or motivated - “brain fog” and forgetfulness are becoming real and a frequent occurrence
Your body is changing in ways you can’t explain - hot flashes, sleep problems and fluctuating hormones
When your mind and body feel out of sync, everything else can too. The hormonal, mental and emotional shifts during perimenopause and midlife can ripple through every part of your life
Perhaps you’re noticing…
At work: Staying focused, remembering details, making decisions and keeping up with simple tasks feels harder than it used to be. You’re falling behind, feeling frustrated and doubting yourself.
In your relationships: You find yourself short with others, not having the emotional bandwidth to connect - isolating and withdrawing from loved ones.
With yourself: your confidence is shaken, you’re losing pieces of yourself - unsure of who you’re becoming - and wrestling with the complexities of aging, identity and purpose during midlife.
You can reclaim your identity and take back control. It may feel out of reach now, but you can feel confident in your next chapter.

my approach to therapy
Change is inevitable, but so is your potential for growth and resilience
When it comes to navigating uncharted territory - I take a holistic, multi-layered and compassionate approach. We'll focus on tracking your symptoms and physiological changes, while identifying the areas that matter most to you for us to address together.
We’ll use somatic techniques to help you reconnect with your body and regulate the intense emotions that often surface during perimenopause. Using tools like breathwork, mindfulness and grounding, we’ll address symptoms of anxiety, irritability and stress to bring relief. By tuning into your body’s signals, you’ll begin to feel more centered and in control.
At the same time, we’ll use evidence-based tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to add to your toolbox. Knowing that the physical and emotional changes of perimenopause can feel especially disruptive and shake your sense of identity— we’ll work on shifting negative thought patterns that may be contributing to stress, self-doubt, or low mood.
You’ll learn effective strategies for emotional regulation, managing overwhelm and setting boundaries, so you can continue showing up fully, as the strong, capable woman you are— feeling more like yourself again.
You don’t have to live like a stranger in your changing body. I can help you move through this season of life feeling empowered and confident
