Helping You Navigate Midlife With Compassionate Therapy

Do you feel overwhelmed and uncertain? Not sure what is “wrong” with your life?

You are not alone. As one of the only psychologists specializing in midlife and credentialed as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, I am also someone who has experienced all the uncertainty that comes with this transitional time period.

Suddenly everything just feels different.

A lot is at stake.

It can feel like your world is slowly crumbling around you. There is a lot of anxiety about the next chapter, yet it may seem that you can’t get out of your own way, or get out of your own head.

There are ways out of this seemingly insurmountable frame of mind.

I began to hear common themes of people facing similar struggles. The more I listened, the more I realized how many individuals and couples are navigating the emotional and physical challenges of midlife without adequate support or guidance. 

This realization as well as experiencing my own midlife challenges, motivated me to create Therapy for Midlife to address this significant gap in mental health care, offering support that considers all aspects of well-being and the unique stresses in this stage of life. 

 

Get to know me in my short introductory video.

I discuss perimenopause and mental health on the “Flashes of Insight” podcast.

Give it a listen and you might find that it resonates with you whether you are going through perimenopause or are close with someone who is.
