what is perimenopause?

Perimenopause is the natural, multi-year transition to menopause, during which hormone levels begin to fluctuate. These changes can affect mood, anxiety, sleep, energy, and concentration, making this an important time to support both your physical and emotional well-being.

On top of the physical shifts, many women find this stage stirs up bigger questions — about identity, aging, purpose, and who you're becoming next — often while still juggling work, family, and everyone else's needs but your own. Not everyone’s symptoms look exactly the same, this can at times feel isolating that everyone’s experience isn’t equal.

therapy for perimenopause

Therapy during perimenopause is about understanding what's actually happening in your mind and body, building real tools for the anxiety and mood changes that come with it, and making space for the identity shifts this stage often brings up — because a changing body deserves care, not just patience. I bring warmth and expertise on menstrual health, with sessions available in-person or via telehealth.
