New Terrain: Because “Pushing Through” Has Run Its Course

Perimenopause can amplify long-standing stress patterns in the nervous system, especially for women with a history of trauma, anxiety, or chronic overwhelm. What may look like “new” symptoms: heightened anxiety, disrupted sleep, irritability, brain fog, or emotional reactivity—are often the nervous system responding to hormonal shifts layered on years of adaptation and survival. I specialize in helping women understand these responses not as personal failures, but as intelligent signals from the body.

My approach is trauma-informed, nervous-system-focused, and collaborative. Using education, somatic awareness, and evidence-based therapies, we work to restore a sense of safety and regulation while building self-trust and choice. Rather than pushing through or pathologizing your experience, we slow things down and listen to what your body is asking for in this season. Perimenopause is not about losing yourself—it’s about renegotiating how you care for your mind, body, and energy. Together, we create a steady, compassionate path forward as you navigate this transition with greater clarity, resilience, and agency.
