Perimenopause, Anxiety, Stress. Are you the one who holds it all together. Are you capable, successful, maybe everyone assumes you’re fine, but inside you’re anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, or wondering when you stopped feeling like yourself? Perhaps you’re people-pleasing, questioning your relationship, navigating perimenopause, or tired of putting yourself last Therapy with me isn’t just about learning another coping skill or talking in circles. I am warm, direct, & actively engaged with you. Together, we’ll understand what’s keeping you stuck, get clear about what you want & make real changes that help you feel like you again.
My approach blends gentle compassion with focused work to effectuate lasting change. Using Gestalt, ACT, EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Psychodynamic techniques, and Gottman Couples Therapy, I help you get grounded & regulated first, then we safely explore the deeper roots of your patterns, so you can integrate insights into your daily life.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’re used to handling everything on your own. You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out, you can just book a free 15-min consult. When you’re ready, you don’t have to do this alone - reaching out can be the first step toward feeling more like yourself again.
