Therapy for Women at Mid-life
Because your mental health—and your whole self—deserve support.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, unusually emotional, anxious, or simply not like yourself, you’re far from alone. The transition of a woman’s mid-life years, through perimenopause and menopause, often brings a wave of changes—physically, mentally, and emotionally—that can feel disorienting. From mood swings and brain fog to sleep disturbances, word-finding issues, and persistent fatigue, these shifts are real and often misunderstood. But amidst the confusion, a powerful doorway to insight, growth, and healing can open.
Feel like yourself again.
Menopause is a natural phase—but it can be a complicated one, especially if you’re carrying emotional pain into it. Sometimes, it can feel overwhelming. You don’t have to push through it alone. With the right support, this can actually become a time of meaningful self-discovery, healing, and growth.
What many women don’t realize is how much past trauma—whether from childhood, relationships, or health experiences—can resurface or intensify during this transition. Hormonal shifts often lower the emotional “buffer” that helped you cope before. You may find that old wounds or unresolved experiences are bubbling up more strongly, or that your body is reacting in ways that feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable.
This can be confusing and exhausting—but it’s also an opportunity for healing.
In our work together, we’ll make space for all of it: the mood changes, the cognitive shifts, the fatigue, and the deeper emotional layers that may be surfacing. If trauma is part of your story, we’ll approach it gently and with care, helping you feel safe, grounded, and more in control of your experience. This can be a time of transformation- not just survival.
I combine trauma-informed therapy with practical strategies to help you feel clearer, more energized, and more emotionally steady as you move through this chapter of life. At the heart of my work is a belief that midlife is not an unraveling, but an opportunity: a chance to let go of what no longer serves you and step into your next chapter. Together, we’ll make space for that transformation—on your terms.
Menopause is a natural phase, but how it shows up is deeply personal—and you don’t have to navigate it alone
