Women's Midlife
Mental Health
Navigate midlife with purpose and clarity.
“Midlife is not a breakdown—it’s a breakthrough."
—Diseph Igoni, LMFT
Midlife brings unique challenges—and opportunities—for growth. Many women experience hormonal shifts, evolving relationships, and changes in identity that can feel overwhelming. You don’t have to navigate this transformative time alone. I center my work on helping women move through midlife transitions with clarity, confidence, and resilience.
​Hormonal Shifts and Menopause
​Perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause can bring mood swings, anxiety, and “brain fog” that impact daily life, work, and relationships. I provide support to understand these changes and build practical strategies to move through them with self-awareness and balance.
​
Emotional Well-Being
Hormonal changes and life transitions can surface anxiety, depression, or unresolved stress and trauma. Together, we address these challenges in a safe, compassionate, and highly personalized way.
​
​​​​​Relationships and Family Dynamics
​Midlife often reshapes romantic, family, and social relationships. I help women navigate marital changes, evolving family roles, and longstanding patterns like Eldest Daughter Syndrome.

Eldest Daughter Syndrome
Many women revisit the caregiving and high-expectation roles assumed as firstborn daughters. Early experiences of mediating family conflicts and prioritizing others can show up in midlife as perfectionism, people-pleasing, boundary challenges, and identity questions. Together, we explore these patterns, helping you reclaim your voice, prioritize your needs, and navigate relationships with clarity and confidence.
​​Life Transitions and Identity
​As children leave home, careers shift, and caregiving demands grow, midlife can be a pivotal time to reassess purpose and priorities. I support women in navigating identity shifts, empty nest transitions, and the emotional load of balancing care for both children and aging parents.​​​
I take a client-centered approach, ensuring every woman feels seen, valued, and heard. Together, we explore the complexities of midlife, uncover opportunities for growth, and create strategies for meaningful, lasting change.
