Anxiety in midlife often shows up as overthinking, chronic self-doubt, trouble sleeping, irritability, or a sense of emotional numbness. It can look like perfectionism, people-pleasing, or a constant need to "figure it all out." You may be functioning on the outside—but feel like you're barely holding it together inside.

Absolutely. Anxiety isn’t always loud or obvious. In midlife, it often shows up as overthinking, chronic tension, a constant sense of urgency, or a low-level hum of dread. It can feel like never quite relaxing, always questioning yourself, or feeling like you're living your life on autopilot.

Midlife is a natural turning point. The roles you’ve played—mother, partner, caretaker, professional—may be shifting. You might be questioning past decisions or feeling the weight of time. Anxiety often rises during transitions like these because old coping strategies stop working, and your nervous system is signaling it’s time for something new.

You may have gained insight, but insight alone doesn’t always create lasting change. That’s where somatic and parts-based work can help—by reaching the deeper layers of your nervous system and your unconscious protective patterns. We work not just with thoughts, but with the parts of you that learned to survive through overachievement, self-doubt, or caretaking.

I offer a trauma-informed, somatic approach that honors all of you—not just your mind. Together, we’ll gently explore what your anxiety is trying to protect. Instead of trying to “fix” you, we’ll create space for self-trust, curiosity, and healing. You’ll learn tools that work with your body and emotions—not against them.

Yes. While therapy may inspire some shifts, healing doesn’t require a total life overhaul. Often, the biggest changes happen internally: in how you relate to yourself, in what you allow, in how you soothe your system. These shifts ripple outward in ways that feel empowering—not overwhelming.
