Perimenopause, hormone shifts, life transitions—women’s mental health is different, and it deserves expert care. My extra training in Reproductive Psychiatry helps me guide women through mood swings, anxiety, sleep struggles, and brain fog with science-backed, hormone-aware treatments. Not interested in hormones? There are lots of non-hormonal medication options too. No more guesswork—just real solutions to help you feel steady, clear, and in control.

Medications can be life-changing—but only when they’re used the right way. I specialize in psychopharmacology and hormone-aware prescribing, helping women find the right meds, at the right dose, with the fewest side effects. Whether it’s fine-tuning your current treatment or exploring new options, we’ll work together to create a plan that actually works for you.

Racing thoughts, constant worry, panic out of nowhere—anxiety is exhausting, but it’s also treatable. I take a science-backed, whole-person approach, using medications, therapy strategies, and lifestyle tweaks to help calm your mind and body. Whether anxiety is tied to hormones, stress, or the unknown, we’ll figure it out together—so you can finally breathe easy.

Change is hard—especially when your energy is drained and your motivation feels nonexistent. Motivational Interviewing helps women in perimenopause navigate tough choices like medication, lifestyle changes, and self-care with confidence. Instead of guilt or overwhelm, we focus on what truly matters to you—so you can take action in a way that feels doable, empowering, and actually sustainable.

Hormones impact your brain—but that doesn’t mean you’re powerless. CBT helps women in perimenopause recognize and reframe negative thought patterns tied to insomnia, anxiety, and brain fog. Together, we’ll tackle racing thoughts, overwhelm, and self-doubt, so you can stop feeling stuck and start feeling in control—even when your body is shifting.

Perimenopause is more than hormones—it’s a major life shift. Psychodynamic therapy helps you process emotional triggers, identity shifts, and patterns that may be holding you back. We’ll explore the deeper roots of your anxiety, frustration, or grief, so you can move forward with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. This phase of life isn’t an ending—it’s a transformation.
