Therapy for Women in Midlife
Midlife is a complex time filled with transitions—hormonal changes, shifting roles, identity questions, and often a deep yearning for something more. You may be navigating perimenopause, caring for aging parents, redefining your career, or questioning what comes next. Therapy for women in midlife offers a space to honor where you've been, explore who you're becoming, and reconnect with your authentic self. Together, we'll work through the layers of change, rediscover your sense of purpose, and build a foundation for this next chapter that feels genuinely yours.
Supporting Your Unfolding Midlife Journey
Menopause Informed Care
The menopause transition has many pathways and few therapists understand its complexity. I work with the stress-menopause connection (the neuroendocrine transitional state) to help you navigate this vulnerable window.
Psychospiritual Exploration
As we age, questions of life meaning and purpose naturally emerge. We face loss, grief, and deep transformation as spiritual layers unfold in this transition.
Expressive & Nature-Based Work
Midlife often awakens creative expression and spiritual curiosity. I use expressive arts (Morning Altars™), nature connection, and ritual to honor this unfolding and help you explore meaning, beauty, and transformation.
Whole Mind-Body Experience
Menopause can resurface old nervous system patterns of trauma, bring new health challenges, and has real long-term physical and mental health consequences. We address the whole experience, not just symptoms.
EMDR for Transformation
Using evidence-based EMDR therapy, we work somatically (body) and cognitively (mind) to release old patterns and create new adaptive responses. Midlife offers a powerful opportunity to reshape how you respond to stress and step into greater freedom.
Navigating Body Changes
Midlife brings physical shifts that can feel uncomfortable or unfamiliar. I help you build a compassionate relationship with your changing body, tune into its wisdom. Learn how to connect with your new body awareness as a guide for healing and self-acceptance.
