Midlife feeling off? I help women reclaim clarity, purpose, and themselves.
About
You've hit midlife and something feels off. You're exhausted, anxious, disconnected, maybe blaming menopause, maybe wondering if you're losing yourself. I've been there. As a psychologist who returned to school in my 50s, I know this season can feel overwhelming and full of possibility. You want clarity, purpose, and to finally live for you.
I help midlife women facing anxiety, burnout, body image concerns, and the quiet ache of losing themselves in everyone else's needs. I specialize in midlife body image issues and eating disorders (specifically binge eating and chronic dieting), perimenopause and menopause, ADHD, grief and loss, and the mental load. Through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens, we'll untangle old patterns, reconnect you with your voice, and create space for the life you actually want.
I use mindfulness-based, compassion-focused, and emotion-focused therapies, and I'm trauma-informed with a somatic perspective to increase resilience and calm in the body. I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, ACT, and positive psychology, along with a Women's Mental Health certification. I love working on 'extreme self-care' with my clients to increase joy and happiness, and I bring fun, authenticity, and a love for life into every session.
Whether you're feeling lost, stuck, or simply craving something more, our work together will be a safe and compassionate space to rediscover yourself. If you're ready to be seen, supported, and empowered, I'm here, and I'd be honoured to walk with you. Reach out today for a free 15-minute consultation.
