I help exhausted go-getters navigating hormone changes in midlife get off the emotional rollercoaster without invalidating their concerns, using medication as the only option, or asking them to tolerate unwanted side effects.

My patients struggle as you do. Despite being dynamic, accomplished women who try their best to take care of the people they love, life is hard.  

When they first come in, they find themselves asking “Is this really it for my life?” They have achieved many career, relationship, and family goals they set for themselves but find it difficult to feel connected and present enough to enjoy them.

They have a list of things they “used to” do.  They used to belly laugh.  They used to have patience for family members.  They used to sleep well. They used to take care of themselves. 

They have wondered whether they are showing early signs of dementia or actually have ADHD because they can’t remember what they ate for breakfast or finish a task without forgetting what they were doing multiple times. 

Their moods get in the way of the life they want in so many ways.  They aren’t the kind of partner they want to be.  They feel like they are failing at mothering in the way they always envisioned, and their confidence in themselves is tanking.
