Therapy for Challenging Life Changes in Adulthood
For the moments you didn’t expect to feel this hard, this is steady place to slow down, breathe, and figure out what you need next.
Sessions are available online across Michigan and in-person in Plymouth, Michigan and surrounding areas.
Therapy for adults navigating life transitions, overwhelm, and anxiety, with advanced understanding of perimenopause.
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.
You’re in the right place, if…
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
These experiences often show up during major life transitions or shifts in adulthood, when everything feels unfamiliar or harder to navigate.
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone and in the right place.
Ways I Can Help
I work with women during major life transitions, especially in adulthood and midlife.
-
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.
Welcome, I’m Bree.
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.
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 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.

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 or confusing. In therapy, we’ll explore what’s happening and build tools that help you feel more supported and connected to yourself.
