Because no one warned you it would be this hard.

Your body is changing, your responsibilities are heavier than ever, and your nervous system is more reactive than it used to be. Kids leaving, career shifts, aging parents, relationship strain—it all compounds. Therapy can help you understand what's driving the anxiety and actually feel calmer, not just cope better.

For a lot of women, yes, and it's not a character flaw. Midlife brings a perfect storm: more on your plate, less margin, and physical changes that affect your mood and energy. The strategies that used to work stop working and it’s a sign you need different support.

Absolutely. Perimenopause, menopause, thyroid issues, chronic pain—they all amplify anxiety and emotional exhaustion. Your doctor can address the medical side, but therapy addresses what they can't: the nervous system impact, the grief over how your body has changed, and the cumulative stress of managing it all at once.

Completely. After decades of being a mother, a wife, an employee, an employer, a leader, a community member, a friend, and the one who holds it all together—many women realize they've lost touch with themselves. You've been putting yourself last for so long, you may not even know what you want anymore or how to even change that. That's exactly what we work on together.

If you're asking this question, it's worth exploring. When you feel stuck more days than not, when sleep is a struggle, when you're snapping at people you love or withdrawing from things you used to enjoy—that's your system telling you something. Therapy isn't just for crisis. It's for women who are tired of white-knuckling through.

Yes—exclusively. All sessions are virtual via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth. You can work with me from anywhere in Georgia—Atlanta, Marietta, Alpharetta, Roswell, Decatur, and beyond. No commute, no waiting room. Many women find this easier to fit into an already full life.

It's the grief and disorientation many parents feel when their children leave home. Even if you're proud of them, you may still feel a deep sense of loss—for the role you held, for who you were when they needed you. Therapy helps you grieve that, reconnect with yourself, and find your footing in this next chapter.

Somatic therapy works with what's stored in your body, not just your mind. That tension in your shoulders, the tightness in your chest, the feeling of being constantly braced—those aren't just symptoms. They're information. Through body-awareness practices, we help your nervous system release what it's been holding. It's especially helpful when talk therapy alone hasn't been enough.

EMDR helps your brain process painful or distressing memories so they stop running the show. It reduces the emotional charge of difficult experiences—trauma, anxiety, grief, old patterns that keep showing up no matter what you do. For women who prefer something gentler, I also offer Havening Techniques.

Havening is a gentle, neuroscience-based approach that uses soothing touch patterns to help the brain release distressing emotions. Like EMDR, it processes difficult experiences—but many women find it feels softer and more calming. It's effective for anxiety, stress, old trauma, and building a more resilient nervous system.

Look for someone with real experience in this stage of life—not just general therapy with midlife tacked on. Ask if they understand what it actually feels like: the exhaustion, the identity questions, the body changes, the overwhelm. Most importantly, trust your gut about whether you feel seen. That's why I offer a free consultation.

I'm a private-pay provider—I don't bill insurance directly. Sessions are $185 - $350, depending on length and type. Many plans reimburse 50-80%. I provide superbills. do provide superbills you can submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement, and many PPO plans cover a good portion. You can also use HSA or FSA funds. I'm happy to talk through fees during your free consultation.

Under the No Surprises Act, you're entitled to a Good Faith Estimate of what therapy will cost before you begin. I provide this as part of our intake process, and you can request one at any time.

Yes. For clients who want to move through trauma work more quickly — or who can't do weekly therapy but want concentrated, deep work — I offer therapy intensives.

An intensive is an extended session or series of sessions scheduled close together, rather than the standard weekly model. Instead of processing something difficult over months, an intensive creates a container to go deeper, faster.

Intensives are particularly useful if you're dealing with a specific trauma or event, if you've done therapy before and want to move through stuck points, or if your schedule makes weekly sessions difficult.

If you're interested in an intensive, we'll talk through whether it's the right fit on your free consultation call.
