If you're a woman in your 30's through 50's and are feeling more anxious, emotionally unsteady, foggy, or unable to sleep or focus the way you once could, you may be encountering a powerful midlife transition that deserves compassionate support and deeper understanding. Many women reach out when symptoms that were once manageable begin to interfere with work, relationships, or confidence—often after feeling dismissed or unheard in previous care. These symptoms have real biological and psychological roots, and I can help you find relief without losing a sense of growth or agency.
I specialize in integrated psychiatric care for women navigating midlife, offering comprehensive services that combine medication management with psychotherapy and lifestyle medicine. Care is tailored to what you need—whether that's symptom stability, coping skills, emotional regulation, or deeper work that supports lasting change.
You deserve both symptom relief and genuine growth. With thoughtful, integrated care, it’s possible to feel steadier in your body, clearer in your thinking, and more confident navigating this stage of life. If you’re looking for care that is attentive, grounded, and collaborative, I'm here to support you.

Treatment with me is attentive, collaborative, and grounded. We begin with a 60-90 minute intake to understand your concerns and create a plan tailored to you. Follow-up sessions are 25-55 minutes, typically every 1, 2, or 4 weeks. If you already have a great therapist, we'll focus more on medication. Once goals are met, we shift to maintenance, meeting every 1-2 months to adjust care as needed.

My approach integrates psychiatric medication management with psychotherapy, informed by a clear understanding of how physiological changes in midlife can interact with psychological symptoms. Sessions may include practical coping strategies, nervous system regulation, and deeper psychodynamic or somatic work, depending on your needs.
