You thought you were at the stage of life where you could slow down & start doing the things YOU want; the kids are independent, your income is stable & you're ready to figure out who you are again. Then, one day you woke up and your mind & body weren't your own. You started to notice brain fog, low mood and tears coming out of nowhere, not to mention the changes to your body. Welcome to menopause: just wait it out, they said. So here you are, day after day, in a body you don't recognize, with feelings that aren't typical for you, searching for that second act joy you thought was in your pocket. It's time for relief & time for you.

I work with women who are struggling through peri-menopause & menopause. I approach the unique issues arising from this stage of life from a place of empathy. Backed by years of experience treating women with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, perfectionism and trauma, I will listen to you as the expert on you. I won't tell you to let it pass.

My own frustration with the lack of supports for women prompted me to create a therapeutic space where the concerns, pain and and despair you're experiencing can finally be heard without being minimized. No platitudes, no magic pills. Just listening & real talk so you can emerge from this stronger. Go to maratoscounselling.com to learn more about me.
