I'm Donna Carpenter, PhD. I work with women in midlife and beyond who are navigating complex transitions—career pressures, retirement decisions, caregiving, and unexpected loss or illness.
Many of my clients are used to being highly capable, yet find themselves overwhelmed, stuck, or questioning what comes next. If anxiety, low mood, or chronic stress are keeping you up at night or draining your energy, therapy can help. Together, we’ll identify the patterns and beliefs that are holding you back and develop practical, values-based strategies to help you move forward.
Regain a sense of clarity, resilience, and purpose!
I use empathy, curiosity and proven psychological science to help create change. Together, we’ll develop a plan to:
• Address your current stress with compassion, curiosity and effective behaviors and
• Build your skills and confidence as you craft an authentic and satisfying life.
My approach is holistic, grounded and tailored to your unique needs.
I love helping women rediscover their strength, purpose and wisdom. Life’s twists and turns—career transitions, personal loss, caregiving, illness, and aging—can throw us any of us off-balance. I'll help you reconnect with your values, navigate complex internal and interpersonal challenges, and create a joyful and fulfilling life.
