Greeting life’s changes head on with curiosity, is what I’m here to help you do! Get ready to embrace your evolution and reignite your power, as well as address and heal what’s slowing you down. That’s the exciting part of this journey, because, contrary to what societal norms and even social media tells you, yes, our middle years are full of change, but you’re not broken, nor do you have to suffer. Let’s face it, going through life’s transitions (perimenopause and menopause, divorce, empty nest syndrome, and the list goes on) is not for wimps, and not just because of the physical changes.
As a seasoned psychotherapist specializing in issues related to mid-life, I offer solutions-focused therapy tailored to help you navigate this transformative phase of your life. By focusing on practical strategies and empowering your strengths, we can work together to address the challenges you are facing and guide you toward a fulfilling and vibrant future.
You’re on edge more, dealing with bouts of sadness or anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere. You may even joke that your moods are starting to feel like a weather report in a hurricane season. I’m here to encourage you to relax into the knowledge that yes, you may be entering uncharted waters, but you don’t have to go through any of this alone.
