You're a woman between 39-50ish and something just feels OFF. It's definitely physical: the hot flashes, waking up in the night, can't remember anything, the weight gain, but it's also emotional: the mood swings, irritability, the burnout, the lack of motivation, the sense of just not feeling like yourself. You wonder if you're just "getting old", or maybe your hormones are out of whack? You are doing ALL the right things. You exercise, you eat clean, you have good relationships, a career, and just when you're starting to feel like you've got it figured out, the rollercoaster of emotions hits you. It's so incredibly frustrating
Hi, I'm Jaclyn, and here is what I've found. Perimenopause seems to hit women like a ton of bricks. You expect that your body is going to change as you get older, but your mind? Nobody prepares you for that part. Addressing the physical symptoms is one part of the story, but definitely not all. You need new tools to help navigate this entirely new chapter
Our clients aren't looking for a "diagnosis", and they're not a "problem" to be solved. They're looking to talk to somebody who has walked in their shoes and can hold deep space for them to rediscover how to regulate emotions in a new way - one that's grounded in self-agency, renewed identity, and personal power. To see how we can help, send us an email.

We specialize in women who are experiencing symptoms of perimenopause to reclaim their mental health. For many women, they experienced anxiety or depression in their younger years, then got busy with life, and these symptoms reappear in the peri years. We strongly believe that this can be an powerful doorway to deep healing, and to embodying your true, authentic self.

Jaclyn is not only an amazing therapist, but one of my favorite humans. She is wise, kind, incredibly non-judgmental and compassionate. I highly recommend her particularly for empaths, highly sensitive people and neurodivergent folks.

Our approach is as unique as our clients. There will be times when we spend more time processing past events and family history, and times when it makes more sense to focus on creating the life you dream of. Yes, we will work on processing your trauma - and we will also move forward. As our clients find a sense of safety in their bodies, they begin to create healthy new patterns that serve them.
