Perimenopause, menopause, postpartum, and anxiety-focused therapy for women. Are you feeling more anxious, irritable, or unlike yourself lately? Hormonal changes during midlife or the postpartum period can disrupt sleep, mood, confidence, and relationships — even in women who have always felt steady and capable. I specialize in helping women navigate perimenopause, menopause, postpartum changes, and life transitions using practical tools to reduce anxiety, restore balance, and rebuild confidence. You do not have to figure this out alone. Licensed states: NY, NJ, PA, SC, IL, IN, MO
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and have advanced training in menopause-informed and postpartum mental health care. I help women understand how hormonal shifts impact thoughts, mood, and behavior while building practical skills to manage anxiety, improve sleep, and regulate emotions. Our work is collaborative, and focused on real-life change.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, off balance, or not like yourself lately, you’re not alone. Hormonal transitions during midlife or the postpartum period can feel confusing and destabilizing. With the right support, this stage can become a period of clarity, steadiness, and growth.

In our initial sessions, we will focus on what feels most urgent to you and begin working right away. Using a CBT-informed, brief therapy approach, we will identify patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and create a clear plan that aligns with your goals. Most clients notice increased clarity and improved coping early in treatment, with continued progress over time.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my work with women navigating anxiety and depression during hormonal and life transitions. CBT is one of the most well researched and effective approaches for supporting emotional health, particularly during periods of change such as perinatal transitions, perimenopause, and menopause.
