THERAPY FOR WOMEN IN MIDLIFE
I have a passion for supporting women and those assigned female at birth in midlife who are also navigating the challenges of perimenopause and menopause. Seeking support for emotional well-being, physical symptoms, relationship changes, and life transitions, loss of confidence or clarity at this time is common and valid. I provide a safe and supportive space to navigate your journey, while making room for your resilience, grief, anger and joy. Stress, anxiety, mood swings and burnout can also be common experiences. Considering this period as a time of transformation, albeit begrudgingly perhaps, discussing identity shifts, and reimagining the second half of life are some examples of work we may do together.
While sources vary, perimenopause can last from 2 years to over a decade, and menopause signifies the cessation of your period for 12 consecutive months. That is a long time to feel the emotional rollercoaster and physical symptoms connected to the slowing and eventual end of your ovaries former mission in life. Even in the post-menopausal period you can feel the emotional and physiological symptoms connected to decreasing estrogen and other hormones. Seeking support is a sign of strength and 100% valid at this time of transformation and change.
