Therapy for Women in Midlife

Help for women balancing career, caregiving others, and shifting identities rediscover who they are- so they can live with clarity, purpose, and connection.

Specialized therapy for women in their 30s, 40s and 50s

It is so easy to get caught up in the day to day responsibilities of life that we may not notice the small shifts that lead to big changes- until one day we notice our children are grown, our parents need us more, and we may need to reconnect with more intention to those around us, including our partners or ourselves.

  • As children grow up and parents age, your role shifts- often leaving you overwhelmed, lost, or stuck in between. I offer support to help you process your emotions and rediscover your sense of purposes throughout these changes.

  • Over time, relatinships can shift, especially the one we have with our partner. What once felt close may now feel distant or disconnected. Couples or relationship counseling can offers a space to explore what has changed, heal old wounds, and rebuild emotional intimacy so you can reconnect in a deeper and more meaningful way.

  • You’ve spent years caring for others, meeting expectations, and playing roles. Somewhere along the way, the best parts of yourself may have gotten lost. I can help you reconnect with your values, desires, and voice- so you can start living in a way that feels right for you.

You’ve spent years showing up for everyone- as a mom, partner, caregiver, and professional, pouring all your energy into making sure everyone else is ok, and all the while feeling anxious, resentful, and, well, empty.

Parenting feels like it never stops. As your kids grow and change, so so their needs- and keeping up feels exhausting.

You’re caught in the middle- raising children while also caring for aging parents leaves little room for yourself.

Your relationship feels strained. Communication with your partner has grown distant, and tension seems to linger.

And even though you’ve done everything “right,” something still feels off. You long for connection, ease, clarity- and to reconnect with you are beneath all the roles you fill.

You don’t have to keep managing it all on your own. Let’s talk.

My Approach

My work is grounded in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), a compassionate, emotionally focused model that helps people heal from past wounds while fostering resilience and meaningful connection in the present. I am currently a level II AEDP therapist who participates in continuous trainings to be able to provide research backed interventions. I understand how unresolved emotional experiences from the past can shape how you relate and show up today- even if your life looks “successful” on the outside.

Whether you’re:

  • Feeling disconnected or in conflict with your partner

  • Struggling with parenting teens or young adults

  • Carrying emotional burdens you’ve never fully unpacked

  • Wanting to change unhealthy patterns but are not sure how

  • Not getting your needs met and are in or heading for burnout

Available throughout New York State.

You can work with me in person in the Rochester, NY area, or virtually from anywhere in New York State via secure telehealth. I offer a calm, non-judgemental space for you to explore what’s not working and move toward what will.
