Women’s Holistic Mental Health for New Hampshire, Maine & Florida Residents
For high achieving women in perimenopause/menopause , prenatal/postpartum who are ready to reconnect with body, mind & nervous system.
womens mental health
You’ve learned how to perform, produce, and push through — now it’s time to learn how to pause, receive, and restore.
Are you…
A driven professional or dedicated creator, used to carrying the weight of responsibility, performance, and achievement— yet lately you feel like your body isn’t cooperating?
Moving into perimenopause or menopause and noticing shifts you didn’t expect: changes in sleep, energy, concentration, mood swings, irritability, emotionally “on edge,” maybe more anxiety or old patterns resurfacing?
Navigating pregnancy, new motherhood, or the postpartum period and finding that while you knew motherhood would bring big changes, the emotional and somatic ones feel deeper and more destabilizing than you anticipated?
Sensing that the physical transitions (hormonal dips, body changes, sleep disruption) are triggering deeper questions: “Who am I now?”, “What happens if my body isn’t as reliable?”, “What if I lose that sense of mastery I’m used to?”
Hungry for support that goes beyond talk-therapy, beyond “just cope” — you want integration: nervous system regulation, trauma-informed awareness, body-mind reconnection, and a path to feeling grounded, capable, and true to yourself again.
If you answered yes to any of those — you’re in the right place.
Women
When you reconnect with your body, you remember your power. Healing isn’t about fixing — it’s about returning home.
When we’re moving through perimenopause, menopause, or the prenatal/postpartum window, everything changes: hormones, sleep, recovery, identity, sense of safety, and how our body and nervous system respond to stress.
Physical Shifts
Fluctuating estrogen/progesterone levels can impact mood, cognition (“fog”), memory, irritability, and anxiety.
Sleep disturbances, night sweats, hot flashes, or body temperature shifts put strain on the nervous system.
Postpartum or pregnancy: your body is already doing the heavy lifting of creation and recovery and then the identity shift, the sleep deprivation, the “always on” mode of motherhood add another layer.
Muscle tension, changes in metabolism/weight, bone health, cardiovascular shifts.
Mental/Emotional Shifts
High achievers often lean into control, certainty, and reliability. Yet when your body starts saying “things are changing,” you may face existential questions: “Am I still the same me?” “Can I trust my body?” “Am I losing my edge?”
Old beliefs and habits (“I must always perform,” “If I slow down I fail”, “My worth = my productivity”) get amplified. Pair that with hormonal and somatic shifts and the result can be anxiety, sadness, irritability, or even a latent sense of grief.
If there's history of trauma, the nervous system may become more reactive. The body may hold onto tension, the mind may ruminate on “what’s next,” and you’re left feeling like you’re managing crisis mode rather than thriving.
You might feel disconnected from your inner creative self, your body may feel like a burden or betrayer, and the inner voice that once cheered you on may now feel critical or silent.
Meet Your Women’s Health Therapist
Hi, I’m Christina
I work with women who are navigating big life transitions — perimenopause, menopause, pregnancy, postpartum, or seasons of burnout and are realizing that their old ways of coping aren’t working anymore. My style is grounded, compassionate, and holistic. I blend evidence-based trauma therapies like CBT, EMDR with somatic and nervous-system approaches that help you reconnect with your body and sense of safety. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we look at the whole picture — how your hormones, stress levels, past experiences, and lifestyle are influencing how you feel and function today.
My background in both physical and mental health means I approach healing through the mind–body connection: helping you not only understand why you feel the way you do, but also how to regulate, restore, and realign with the woman you’re becoming. Whether we’re working on anxiety, identity shifts, or deep fatigue from constantly “holding it all together,” my goal is to help you move from survival mode into a place of steadiness, clarity, and trust in yourself again.

My Women’s Health Therapy Approaches
Online Somatic Trauma Therapy
Somatic therapy focuses on how emotions and stress live in the body. When we’ve spent years pushing through, staying “on,” and managing everyone else’s needs, our nervous system can forget how to rest. Through gentle awareness, movement, breathwork, and grounding techniques, somatic work helps you tune back into your body’s cues for safety, energy, and calm. It’s about learning to trust your body again — not as something to control, but as a guide toward balance and authenticity.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT teaches you how to live in alignment with your values — even when life feels uncertain or uncomfortable. Instead of trying to eliminate every anxious thought or emotion, ACT helps you create space for them while still moving toward what matters most to you. It’s about building psychological flexibility: learning to hold both the hard things and the meaningful ones, so you can live a life that feels full and authentic, not just “managed.”
Online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you understand the patterns between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. For high-achieving women, this often means identifying unhelpful beliefs like “I can’t slow down,” “I have to hold it all together,” or “Rest means I’m failing.” Together, we’ll reframe those thought loops and build more flexible, empowering ways of responding to stress. CBT is practical and structured, helping you make real changes in how you think and act day to day.

If you’re feeling anxious, irritable, or disconnected from yourself — like your body and mind aren’t on the same team anymore — this work is for you. Maybe you’ve been pushing through exhaustion, showing up for everyone else, but inside you feel off-balance, uncertain, or stuck in survival mode. You might notice brain fog, emotional ups and downs, or a quiet sense of grief for who you used to be. You’re ready for more than coping; you want to understand what’s happening beneath the surface, reconnect with your body, and feel like yourself again — grounded, steady, and genuinely at peace with where you are and who you’re becoming
FAQ
-
Not unless you want to. We’ll go at your pace. Using EMDR and somatic tools, we can work with what your body is still holding, rather than endless re-telling of story.
-
Absolutely. These transitions often show up before full menopause (perimenopause) or during large life phases like motherhood, career pivoting, or mid-life + identity rework. If you feel “out of sync,” you don’t have to wait.
-
Kind of the opposite: when you regulate your nervous system, heal underlying patterns, and reconnect with your body-mind, you often accelerate into more aligned, sustainable success — without burning out.
-
Yes — while therapy can’t change hormone levels, it can profoundly impact how your mind and body respond to those changes. Through somatic therapy, EMDR, and nervous system regulation, we work on reducing stress reactivity, improving sleep and emotional balance, and rebuilding trust in your body. Many women find that therapy helps them feel calmer, more centered, and more in control — even when their bodies feel unpredictable.
-
Traditional talk therapy focuses on insight and processing through conversation. Trauma therapy, including EMDR and somatic approaches, helps your brain and body release stored stress patterns that keep you stuck in survival mode. It’s not about reliving the past — it’s about helping your system finally feel safe enough to move forward. Many of my clients say trauma-informed therapy feels more embodied and effective than years of trying to “think their way out” of symptoms.
-
These experiences often overlap. Changes in hormones can amplify stress responses or bring up unresolved emotions. In therapy, we’ll look at the whole picture — your physical health, emotional well-being, and life history — to understand what’s driving your symptoms.
-
Even though all sessions are provided via telehealth, you do need to be located in the state of NH, ME or FL in order for me to work with you for support. Coaching is offered worldwide.
