Are you a woman struggling with your identity, maybe you wake up each day wondering what version of yourself you will be? Does your mood shift so suddenly you practically feel whiplashed? You often feel exhausted, which makes sense given your restless nights. Why does this feel so different? The changes women experience as we mature can be confusing and frustrating. Your sense of self shifts, “What is wrong with me?” You feel overwhelmed, stressed, and confused. Let me guide you through processing, exploring and healing. I offer EMDR as in-depth way of processing memories and discover your sense of self as you navigate life changes.

Women in midlife transitions face increased anxiety, depression, and biological changes. This topic isn't widely discussed, but I aim to change that. Think of me as your GPS for this journey, recalculating when life throws you off course, without judgment for occasional U-turns. I'll help you navigate uncertainties, relationship strains, and regrets.

Feeling overwhelmed by the unpredictable shifts of midlife and menopause? You're not alone. As a dedicated therapist, I'm here to guide you through these changes, providing the support and resources you need to regain control and confidence. Embrace this new phase of life with clarity and strength-let's navigate it together! Call or email for a free consult!
