Perimenopause and Menopause Therapy to Help You Feel Like Yourself Again

The many physical, mental, and emotional changes associated with menopause have a way of making you feel like a stranger in your own body and no one really prepares you for the reality it. So if your mood, sleep, and sense of self all feel unpredictable right now, you are definitely not alone. This is a real transition, and you deserve real support through it.

My work centers on giving you a place to say the things that feel too awkward or too heavy to say anywhere else. Together, we make sense of what's changing, how it’s affecting your life, and strategies that actually fit your lifestyle.

Does it feel like your body, mind and mood have gone haywire?

Menopause can be like an uninvited house guest who shows up, rearranges the furniture, eats all your food, and sets the thermostat on “volcano”.

Hot flashes - One minute you’re fine, the next minute you’re considering whether it’s socially acceptable to put your head in the freezer during a meeting.
Mood swings - You cry at a dog food commercial, rage at the microwave for taking too long, then laugh uncontrollably because you can’t remember why you were upset in the first place.
Memory lapses - You walk into a room and immediately forget why you went in there.
Sleep problems - Your new hobby is staring at the ceiling from 2 to 5 am.
Weight gain - Your metabolism takes a nosedive and just smelling dessert makes your pants feel tighter.
Decreased sex drive - Once a blazing fire, now more of a barely glowing ember.
Brain fog - Like trying to read fine print through blurry glasses - frustrating and exhausting.

Menopause is a natural and expected part of life, but for many women it feels anything but - more like an unpredictable storm than a graceful rite of passage.

Menopause can have a ripple effect across many areas of your life, often showing up in ways that are unexpected or misunderstood. At work, symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and irritability can impact focus, confidence, and performance. In daily activities, low energy, poor sleep, and anxiety can make it difficult to finish tasks and make decisions. In relationships, changes in mood, libido, and emotional sensitivity can create tension and distance.

The transition into menopause isn’t something that happens overnight—for many, it’s a process that unfolds over several years (perimenopause). Along the way, we experience shifts in our body, mind, and mood. While it would be great if we could simply flip a switch and emerge on the other side feeling like ourselves again, the reality is much more complex.

Helping you take charge of ‘The Change’.

Despite being an inevitable part of life for half the population, menopause is still a topic shrouded in silence and stigma. Many women feel awkward bringing it up—even with close friends or doctors—worried they’ll be seen as complaining, weak, or simply "getting old." It’s that hush-hush attitude that leaves so many women feeling isolated, embarrassed and insecure.

That’s where therapy can help—by providing you with valuable emotional support and practical strategies to navigate the physical, psychological, and emotional changes that come with this stage of life.

As a therapist, I value creating a space where you can talk about the things that feel hard to say out loud. I'm comfortable sitting with the uncomfortable—and whatever you're feeling, there's no judgment here. Whether it's confusion, anger, grief, awkward physical symptoms, or something you can’t quite name, you're welcome to bring it into our sessions.

Together, we’ll navigate your unique menopause experience.

Therapy is a safe place to speak freely, unpack the roller coaster of emotions, reconnect with who you are, and build realistic, personalized tools to manage your symptoms with confidence.

How We’ll Work Together

Because this experience is unique to you, we move at your pace. steady rather than rushed. Our early sessions are about getting honest about what this stage actually feels like for you—symptoms, emotions, and all the messy bits in between. From there, we get curious about what's hitting hardest, whether it’s mood swings, brain fog, or the quiet grief no one warned you about.

Feel truly seen, heard, and validated.
Tell the self-doubt and negative self-talk to take a hike.

Find your people - the ones who lift you higher, laugh with you louder, and cheer you on like it's their job.

I want you to know:

Why Work With Sandy

As a Licensed Therapist, I have spent years supporting women through the transitions that tend to get brushed off or whispered about, menopause very much included. So I understand how isolating it can feel to struggle with something the world treats as “just part of getting older”.

More than that, though, I believe you deserve a therapist who actually gets it. Our work together is supportive, honest, and free of judgment, because feeling better happens when you finally feel safe enough to say it all out loud.
