🔥 Hormones aren't the only thing changing during perimenopause and menopause (40s and 50s)— your mental health can take a hit too. Women are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and even bipolar symptoms during this time due to major hormonal shifts. 📉💥

😞 In fact, suicidality is highest for women during this stage of life and within the first year postpartum— even without a previous mental health diagnosis.

💡 If you’re feeling overwhelmed, moody, or just “off,” it’s not just in your head — and you don’t have to push through alone. Support does exist.

✨ I’ve pulled together a resource list to help break the stigma and support you through it:

Do you have any resources, books, podcasts I should add to my list?

🧠 July is BIPOC Mental Health Month — a vital time to affirm that our healing is not only necessary, it is powerful.

Dr. Maya Angelou once wrote: “Nobody, but nobody can make it out here alone.”

These words remind us that connection is essential — we never walk alone. Our pain, our joy, our survival — they are woven into a legacy of strength that spans generations. But strength is not the absence of struggle — mental health matters in our communities. And so do rest, support, and speaking our truth.

This month, we invite you to:
🔹 Prioritize your well-being
🔹 Break the stigma around therapy and mental health care
🔹 Uplift others by checking in, holding space, and sharing resources
🔹 Honor those who came before you by taking care of yourself today

You stand on the shoulders of giants. Let’s make sure the next generation stands even taller.

Loving this glow-up ✨ One of the most rewarding parts of being a therapist is cheering my clients on as they do the hard work of change—and watching them find more peace and the ability to tolerate difficult feelings and people with greater ease. It’s not easy, but it’s so worth it.

Don’t forget to ask how partners are doing postpartum. Checking in on dads and partners isn’t just kind—it’s essential. Up to 10% of fathers and partners experience postpartum depression, a whopping 50% when their partner is struggling with ppd, and many more navigate postpartum anxiety or trauma.

In my office, I often see symptoms that may look different from what we expect:
-Increased irritability
-Withdrawal, detachment or emotional shut-down
-Escaping into work, gaming or addictive behaviors
-Resistance to having more kids

Mental health matters for the whole family—not just the birthing parent.
Let’s normalize asking:
🗣️ “How are you holding up through all of this?

New blog post: What Is Bilateral Stimulation in EMDR—and How It Helps with Anxiety, Trauma, and Emotional Healing 💫🧠

Feeling stuck in anxiety, trauma, indecision or overwhelming stress? EMDR therapy uses a powerful technique called bilateral stimulation — a natural body and brain process — to help your brain reprocess painful memories and bring relief.

Whether you’ve experienced a big trauma or just feel like your body is always in high stress, “fight or flight,” or shut down, EMDR might be a missing piece to feeling better. 🌿
