Perimenopause Therapy
Perimenopause can bring unexpected emotional and relational changes—mood swings, anxiety, loss of identity, and strain in relationships. Therapy offers a space to slow down, process what’s changing, and reconnect with yourself. I specialize in helping women navigate this transformative stage of life using a holistic, compassionate approach that integrates mind, body, and spirit. Together, we’ll explore not only your symptoms but also the deeper shifts in purpose, meaning, and connection that emerge in midlife. Whether you’re feeling lost, angry, or disconnected, you don’t have to navigate this season alone.
Perimenopause is more than a biological transition—it’s a psychological, emotional, and spiritual rite of passage. For many women, this stage brings waves of uncertainty: changes in mood, anxiety, depression, and shifts in relationships or sense of purpose. It can feel like you’re losing yourself. Therapy offers a space to rediscover who you are becoming.
At Flourishing Life Therapy, I provide perimenopause therapy and midlife counseling for women navigating the physical, emotional, and relational transformations that accompany hormonal change. My approach is rooted in a biopsychosocial-spiritual (BPSS) model, honoring the connection between your body’s rhythms, your relationships, your environment, and your sense of meaning. We’ll explore how cultural expectations, gender roles, and past experiences shape your relationship to your changing body and identity.
This is not just about managing symptoms—it’s about reclaiming your inner authority. Midlife can be an awakening: an invitation to redefine boundaries, relationships, creativity, and desire. In therapy, I hold space for grief and loss, but also for rebirth—the renewal that comes when you release what no longer fits and begin to align with your truest self.
I collaborate with healthcare professionals—including naturopaths, OB/GYNs, pelvic floor specialists, and hormone experts—to ensure you receive holistic care. But therapy offers something unique: a place to explore the inner meaning of this transition. While medical care can address hormonal imbalance, therapy helps you tend to your emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being.
As author and psychologist Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés wrote: “To be strong does not mean to tough it out, but to find the wisdom in our cycles of growth, decay, and renewal.” In this season, therapy becomes a sacred pause—a place to honor your body’s wisdom and integrate the lessons of your lived experience.
Together, we can work toward:
Reducing anxiety, depression, and irritability
Understanding relational or marital shifts during perimenopause
Processing grief, identity changes, and loss of fertility
Reconnecting to your body with compassion and curiosity
Rediscovering meaning and creative vitality in midlife
Perimenopause therapy isn’t about “getting back to who you were”—it’s about stepping into who you are becoming.
