You're not just "hormonal" - You're going through real, valid changes, and you dont have to do it alone.
Through compassion and curiosity, I'll help you navigate the emotional rollercoaster of perimenopause and menopause, so you can feel like yourself again, and move through this transition with clarity and confidence.
Some days it feels like everything is just too much — your energy is gone, your emotions are unpredictable, and you barely recognize yourself. It’s easy to wonder if this is just how it’s going to be now — but it doesn’t have to be
You might feel like you're quietly unraveling inside, even as you go through the motions of daily life. The mood swings, brain fog, sleep disruptions, and sudden waves of emotion can leave you wondering, “What’s happening to me?” You want to feel steady and in control, but instead it feels like your mind and body are shifting beneath you — and no one really prepared you for this.
​
The loneliness, the unpredictability, and the sense of losing touch with who you used to be can make it hard to feel hopeful. But it doesn’t have to stay this way. With the right support, it’s possible to find solid ground again — to feel more calm, clear, and connected to yourself. Imagine moving through your days with more energy, more patience, and a deep trust in your ability to navigate this chapter. Therapy can offer a space to untangle the overwhelm, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and reconnect with your inner strength. You don’t have to go through this alone.
Together, we’ll gently explore what’s shifting inside and help you reconnect with the parts of you that feel calm, capable, and whole — so this season of change doesn’t steal your joy or your sense of self.

-
You’ve lost interest in things that used to bring you joy.
-
You feel disconnected from your body, like it's no longer familiar.

It’s not “just in your head” — it’s real, and it’s valid.
Many women share that they’ve felt dismissed — by doctors, partners, even themselves — when trying to talk about how hard this season has been. While mental health challenges during perimenopause and menopause are common, you don't need to live with them. You're not being dramatic. You're being honest.
​
The emotional toll of this phase often builds slowly: the subtle stress of feeling out of control, the pressure to "hold it all together," and the grief of change — all adding up until it feels like too much.
