Therapy for the in-between — and everything that comes after.
Supporting Emotional Health at Every Stage
Women in midlife often face a perfect storm.
Perimenopausal symptoms — mood changes, anxiety, sleep disruption — arrive alongside major life transitions: children growing up, aging parents, shifting careers, changing relationships. Add questions about identity, purpose, and who you are beyond the roles you’ve filled, and it’s no wonder this phase can feel overwhelming.
These aren’t separate struggles. They compound. And many women carry them quietly, without enough space to process what’s happening or what it means.
Therapy offers a place to slow down and make sense of this convergence — to understand what’s shifting internally and externally, and to respond with more clarity, self-compassion, and choice.
When Everything Shifts: Support for Perimenopause and Midlife
What you’re experiencing has weight and meaning.
What can feel like unraveling is often reconstruction — a reorganization of self that deserves care, curiosity, and support. This stage of life is not something to “push through” or minimize. It’s a profound psychological and emotional passage, one that can open space for greater authenticity, agency, and alignment when it’s understood rather than ignored.
You deserve support that recognizes the power, possibility, and significance of this moment.
In our work together, we may explore themes such as:
-
The weight of caregiving — for aging parents, struggling adult children, or both.
-
Feeling invisible, dismissed, or as though your struggles don’t matter.
-
Shifting dynamics with partners, adult children, parents, or friends.
-
Loss of libido or changes in desire and intimacy.
-
Changes in your body, energy, and self-image in a culture that prioritizes youth.
-
Career crossroads, professional dissatisfaction, or wondering if it’s “too late”.
-
Reevaluating relationships that no longer feel sustainable.
-
Difficulty setting boundaries or recognizing old relational patterns.
-
The tension between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.
These experiences are deeply personal — and also profoundly common. Therapy creates space to speak about them openly, without minimizing or pathologizing what you’re feeling.
Trauma-Informed, Compassionate Care
I approach this work through a trauma-informed, relational lens that honors both your history and your current reality. Together, we’ll explore how earlier experiences, expectations, and relational patterns continue to shape how you respond to stress, change, and uncertainty today.
You are not a problem to be solved — tit’s about understanding you more fully and supporting you in meeting this stage of life with intention, clarity, and steadiness.
“To be ourselves causes us to be exiled by many others, and yet to comply with what others want causes us to be exiled from ourselves.”

Moving Forward With Support
You don’t have to navigate perimenopause or midlife transitions alone — or quietly.
Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, clarify what matters now, and move forward with greater steadiness and self-assurance.
