Specialties
I work with women in midlife across five primary clinical areas. While the concerns differ, the underlying approach is consistent: therapy that addresses what is driving the experience, not only addressing or managing what appears on the surface.
Select an area below to learn more about how I work with that specific presentation.
Divorce in Midlife
When divorce reshapes more than your marriage — and changes who you understand yourself to be.
Divorce doesn't pause the rest of your life. You're still managing the demands of decisions, logistics, and being present for children, work, and family — as you push down what you're actually feeling underneath it all. Some decisions can suddenly feel to difficult to make, for reasons you can't quite explain. Or, your divorce process may be over, but relief doesn't feel as you thought it would. Both point toward the same deeper question: not just what to do next, but figuring out who you are now, as you rebuild your life. This work addresses what divorce activates as you move through it, and the internal challenges it reveals once it's behind you.
Therapy After Your Affair
For women navigating the personal and relational aftermath an affair.
When an affair becomes known, the external consequences are immediate — but the internal impact can be just as significant. You may find yourself questioning your choices, your identity, and how you arrived at this point, while also facing pressure to explain, repair, and make decisions. This work provides space to think clearly, understand what led here, and move forward with intention rather than from a place of overwhelm.
Anxiety & Panic
When anxiety has become persistent, disproportionate, or no longer responds to what used to calm it.
Anxiety in midlife is often more than stress. It can reflect long-standing patterns in the nervous system that formed much earlier in life. Hormonal and identity shifts can make those patterns harder to override, bringing them more to the surface. This work focuses on understanding and addressing the source of your anxiety — not only managing its symptoms.
Trauma & Overwhelming Experiences
When past experiences continue to shape the present — even when they seem resolved.
Trauma is not always what is considered the worst of the worst. It can show up as chronic self-criticism, persistent anxiety or panic, patterns in relationships, or a sense of activation in situations that should feel safe. In midlife, experiences you believed were addressed or managed can resurface in ways that feel disproportionate or confusing. This work uses Brainspotting, parts work and EMDR to process what your nervous system has been carrying.
Perimenopause & the Midlife You're Questioning
Is this my life? How did I get here?
Perimenopause often precipitates the point where you can no longer keep certain questions at bay — about the career you built, the marriage you chose, the life that once felt right and now doesn't. Hormonal change affects how you process and regulate emotion, which is often why doubts you'd managed over the years now feel impossible to hold down.
For women who've relied on competence and composure to get through, that shift can be overwhelming. This work looks at what your perimenopause experience is intersecting with — former or current patterns, unresolved emotions or experiences, a life you're reconsidering — and helps you meet it all with clarity and care.
Not sure where to begin?
Many of the women I work with find that more than one of these areas resonates. The consultation provides space to discuss what you’re navigating and determine whether this approach feels appropriate for you at this stage.
