I am passionate about helping women in mid life. There are many stressors in mid life: jobs, aging parents, children, friends, spouses, health, to name a few. Experiencing stressors and being short on time can lead to “short cuts to self care”. These shortcuts may include: drinking, smoking, food and scrolling on social media.

Women may end up feeling stuck, “I need this to function” and in a place of reactivity. I have specialized in treating anxiety in my therapy practice. Indicators that a person is struggling with anxiety can include: difficulty with sleep, apprehension about the future or regrets about the past and obsessive negative thoughts. In addition, I have treated unresolved issues with grief and loss. Sometimes people don’t know they are dealing with unresolved issues. Therapy can be helpful in clarifying the direction for treatment.

I am also offering coaching for women in midlife who are experiencing symptoms of ADHD. Several women have come to me requesting this service. Coaching focuses on solution based strategies. I also assess executive function. I do not provide diagnostic testing or diagnostic services.

I have worked in mental health for 35+ years. I find this field interesting, absorbing and inspiring. It is exciting to engage with a person who is ready to make changes, ready to learn and open to viewing their life, patterns and interactions from a different lens.
