Therapy for Exhausted Midlife Women

You're pulled in a million directions while performing for everyone.

You hold all the things for all the people. It's heavy.

You know what the entire family's weekly schedule is, including your mom's doctor's appointment 5 states away.

My clients wonder if their lifelong patterns of putting others' needs first get in the way of the life they want. They aren't the kind of partner they want to be. They feel like they're failing at parenting. And their confidence in maintaining genuine friendships is tanking.

I help women who have lost their sense of purpose reconnect with their Self without needing to change or fix anything.

Like my clients, you deserve to put yourself first without worrying about letting down your family, friends, or colleagues.

It was cute to be the kid to do the entire group project when you were 12, but not at 48.

You might worry your over-functioning has backfired and has depleted you. Perhaps you've spent decades caring for others and what you want does not get prioritized.

When my clients first come in, they feel unbalanced in their work-life and pulled in multiple directions. They feel disconnected, overextended, and approaching burnout. They take on more than their fair share of responsibilities in order to keep things running smoothly because it's just easier if they handle it themselves.

Feeling contentment and connected without an over-scheduled calendar is not out of your reach.

You keep dropping balls when you used to be able to keep them all in the air.

When you have a moment to check in with yourself, there's a sense of disconnection. At one point, you knew what the kids need on Thursday for school, but now you're not sure what you need to reconnect with yourself.

My clients grapple with navigating perimenopausal changes while balancing demanding careers. Despite being confident in their career, quick decision makers at home, and supportive of those they love, life is hard. Tasks that used to be easy now get added to a never-ending to-do list and nothing seems to get done. They rarely asked for help but were always helping others.

You have these patterns that don't help but you keep doing them.

You tell yourself you will go to bed at a reasonable time and then you find yourself on the couch at midnight binge watching reality shows.

You start to question why you always react the same way even when you tell yourself you'll do something different next time. Try as you might, the same factors seem to activate you in intense ways.

Maybe you've tried therapy in the past and had moments of progress and helpful insight, but it did not seem to make lasting change.

If you want to develop a more balanced, easeful relationship with yourself, Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy might be for you.
