Perimenopause & Menopause Therapy
If you don’t feel like yourself lately, hormones may be part of the picture.
If you’re in midlife and thinking, “Why does everything feel harder than it used to?”
You’re not imagining it.
A lot of women come into perimenopause and menopause expecting physical changes. Hot flashes. Sleep issues. Cycle weirdness. What most aren’t warned about is the emotional side of this transition.
The anxiety that suddenly spikes.
The overwhelm that hits faster.
The exhaustion that sleep doesn’t touch.
The sense of, “I don’t feel like myself anymore.”
And then there’s the confusion. You’ve handled stress before. You’re capable. You’re competent. So why does it feel like your nervous system is running the show now?
You’re in the right place if…
Your anxiety or overthinking has ramped up in midlife
You feel burned out in a way that rest doesn’t fix
Your emotions feel closer to the surface than they used to
Sleep disruption has made everything feel ten times harder
You’re carrying a heavy mental load for work, family, or caregiving
You’ve been told “this is just stress” or “this is just aging” and felt dismissed
Here’s the thing: just because something is common doesn’t mean you’re supposed to suffer through it quietly.
Perimenopause and Menopause Aren’t Isolated Events
They Happen in the Middle of Real Life
Perimenopause and menopause don’t happen on a calm, quiet retreat where you get to focus solely on yourself. They usually show up smack in the middle of everything else.
Careers.
Kids.
Aging parents.
Relationships.
Years of being the dependable one.
A lifetime of pushing through.
Hormonal shifts can lower stress tolerance, mess with sleep, and intensify emotions. When that collides with decades of responsibility, many women don’t experience just one “issue.” They experience a mix of burnout, anxiety, and emotional overload.
That overlap matters. And it deserves to be looked at together, not brushed off or treated like separate problems.
How I can help
Therapy during perimenopause and menopause isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel steadier, more understood, and more like yourself while things are shifting.
In my work with midlife women, therapy often focuses on:
Making Sense of What’s Happening
Understanding your emotional experience can be incredibly grounding. We name what’s happening instead of minimizing it.
Supporting Your Nervous System
Hormonal shifts and chronic stress both impact regulation. Therapy helps create more internal steadiness instead of asking you to push through.
Addressing Anxiety and Burnout Together
Because they often travel as a pair. We look at the whole picture, not just symptoms in isolation.
Rebuilding Self-Trust
When emotions feel unpredictable, confidence takes a hit. Therapy helps you reconnect with your inner cues and instincts.
Navigating Identity Shifts
Midlife brings big questions about who you are becoming. You don’t need to have answers right away. Therapy gives you space to explore without pressure.
Let Me Say This Clearly
You Are Not Broken
The emotional changes that can come with perimenopause and menopause do not mean you’re weak, failing, or falling apart.
They mean you’re human, in transition, in a demanding season of life.
Transitions aren’t meant to be powered through alone. They call for support, compassion, and a little honesty about how hard things can be.
Ready to feel steadier during this transition?
You don’t have to figure this out alone or assume this is simply how things are now.
Perimenopause and menopause are major transitions. You deserve support that helps you feel grounded, informed, and more like yourself again.
If you’re ready for clarity, calm, and steady support, I’m here.
