Welcome, I’m Bree.
When life feels overwhelming or heavier than you thought it would, it’s hard to know where to start. You don’t have to sort through it on your own. Therapy gives you room to pause, understand what’s happening inside, and feel supported as you find your way through.
I work with adults in Michigan who are navigating life transitions, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, stress, and have advanced understanding of the mental health effects of perimenopause. These experiences can leave you feeling unsettled or unlike yourself. You deserve a space that honors what you’re carrying and helps you find what you need.
Why You’re Here
Something in your life has shifted, or you have, and you’re trying to understand what it means.
You might be:
Not feeling like yourself
Unsure what you’re feeling or what you need
Overwhelmed, stretched thin, or exhausted
More reactive or sensitive than usual
Caught in anxious thoughts or constant stress
Holding everything together while feeling depleted inside
Feeling “off” due to perimenopause
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone and in the right place.
How Therapy Helps
Life transitions, even the ones you expected, can bring uncertainty, grief, or a sense of unsteadiness. In our work together, you’ll have space to talk openly about what’s happening and understand why it feels so hard and what you need.
Together, we’ll:
Clarify what’s coming up for you
Notice the patterns that keep you stuck
Build tools that help you feel steadier and more in control
Move toward relief, clarity, and a stronger sense of yourself
Process painful experiences at your pace and move toward healing
This work is especially supportive when you’re adjusting to new roles, redefining who you are, or trying to find your way through emotional overwhelm or burnout.
Ways I Can Help
Emotional Overwhelm, Anxiety, and Irritability
We’ll look at what’s fueling these shifts and create strategies that help you feel calmer, clearer, and more able to respond instead of react.
Identity Shifts & Role Transitions
When your roles change, your sense of self can feel blurry. We’ll explore what you need, who you’re becoming, and how to move through this stage with more confidence and self‑trust.
Perimenopause & Midlife Changes
Perimenopause can bring emotional intensity, anxiety spikes, irritability, and a sense of feeling “off.” Together, we’ll work toward restoring steadiness and helping you feel more like yourself again.
What Our Work Looks Like
I offer a warm, safe space where you can talk openly about your experiences, even the parts that feel confusing, hard to name or are embarrassing. My style is direct, compassionate, and collaborative.
My approach is holistic, integrative, trauma‑informed, and grounded in evidence‑based practices. We’ll work in a way that recognizes your strengths and helps you reconnect with your resilience.
How We’ll Work Together
Our sessions blend insight with practical tools so you can understand what’s happening, feel equipped to handle what’s coming up, and move forward with more clarity and confidence.
We may explore:
Mindfulness and grounding tools
Shifting unhelpful thought patterns
Setting boundaries that protect your time and energy
Regulating intense emotions
Understanding long‑standing patterns and ways to change them
Strengthening your voice and sense of agency
Improving communication
Processing painful experiences
Creating a life that reflects who you are now
Understanding Perimenopause
Perimenopause can bring emotional and physical changes that feel unpredictable or destabilizing. These experiences are real and deserve care.
Beyond hot flashes or cycle changes, perimenopause can affect:
Mood and emotional sensitivity
Anxiety and irritability
Sleep and energy
Mental clarity and focus
Identity, confidence, and sense of self
Relationships, boundaries, and caregiving roles
Work‑life balance and shifting priorities
These changes often overlap with other life transitions, making everything feel more intense. In therapy, we’ll explore what’s happening and build tools that help you feel more supported and connected to yourself.
