Perimenopause Therapy:

Sleep, Anxiety & Mood Support

You're not losing your mind. Your nervous system is working overtime.

Perimenopause can start years before anyone names it. You wake at 3 a.m. with your heart racing. Anxiety shows up out of nowhere. Your patience is gone, your brain feels foggy, and you cry or snap in ways that don't feel like you.

Hormonal shifts hit the nervous system hard. When sleep falls apart and your body stays on high alert, everything feels heavier: work, parenting, your relationship, even who you are. This is real, it's common, and you don't have to white-knuckle it.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You're exhausted but can't fall asleep, or can't stay asleep

  • Anxiety or dread you never used to have

  • Sudden rage, irritability, or tears over small things

  • Brain fog, forgetfulness, or feeling less sharp at work

  • Feeling flat, unmotivated, or not like yourself

  • People around you don't get it, and you're tired of explaining

How we work together

We start with your body. Using Somatic Experiencing and nervous-system-based tools, you learn to notice when you're revving up and how to bring yourself back down. Better regulation during the day often means better rest at night.

We also make room for what this season stirs up: grief about a changing body, questions about identity and purpose, old wounds that feel louder now. You get space to be honest about all of it.

When partners or family are feeling the strain, we can bring them in. They learn what's happening and how to support you without taking every hard moment personally. I also coordinate with your OB-GYN or menopause provider when that helps.

What can change

  • Tools to calm anxiety and a racing mind

  • A wind-down routine your nervous system actually responds to

  • Steadier moods and fewer moments you regret

  • Feeling like yourself again, in a body that's changing

Frequently asked questions

Do you prescribe hormones or give medical advice? No. I'm a therapist, not a medical provider. I work alongside your doctor and help you know what to ask them.

Is this anxiety, depression, or perimenopause? Sometimes it's all three. If your sleep, mood, or anxiety shifted in your late 30s, 40s, or early 50s, it's worth exploring. We'll look at the whole picture.

Can my partner come to sessions? Yes. Perimenopause happens in one body but affects the whole household. Partners are welcome.

Do you only work with women? I work with anyone going through perimenopause, and with partners who want to understand and support them. All identities are welcome.
