Therapy for Women in Midlife

A grounded, culturally responsive space for women ready to feel more like themselves again.

Welcome to Clarity Within Therapy

If you’re feeling stretched thin—keeping it all together on the outside, but unraveling quietly underneath—you’re not alone. Maybe you’ve been living with anxiety for years. Or you’ve hit a point in midlife where something feels... off. Exhaustion. Disconnection. The sense that something has to shift, but you don’t know what or how.

I work with women navigating perfectionism, burnout, big life transitions, and the invisible pressure to manage everything. Together, we create space for you to slow down, feel what’s real, and reconnect with the strength that’s already within you.

Meet Alexis

Hi, I’m Alexis — a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist based in Bethesda, MD. I specialize in helping high-functioning women who feel anxious, disconnected, or stuck beneath the surface. Whether you’re juggling parenting, work, caregiving, or just life, therapy with me is a place where you don’t have to explain everything or hold it all together.

We move gently and collaboratively—at your pace—toward clarity, emotional freedom, and a deeper connection to who you are.

What We Can Work On Together

• Constant overthinking, people-pleasing, and inner criticism
• Midlife transitions, identity shifts, or a general feeling of being “lost”
• Burnout from doing too much for too long
• Quiet disconnection, grief, or emotional numbness
• Relationship patterns that leave you depleted or unseen

How Therapy Works With Me

You don’t need to have it all figured out before starting. We begin wherever you are.

I draw from evidence-based approaches like AEDP, mindfulness, CBT, and psychodynamic therapy—woven into a relational, compassionate space where we listen to your emotions, honor your experiences, and move at a pace that feels right to you. Our work together helps you move from overwhelm to grounded clarity.

What You Can Expect

Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” what’s wrong. It’s about honoring what you’ve been carrying—and giving you the space and support to process it with care.

You can expect:

• A calm, judgment-free environment where you can finally exhale
• Culturally responsive care that sees and respects your full identity
• Support for untangling anxiety, perfectionism, or emotional exhaustion
• Practical tools to help you feel more present, steady, and connected to yourself

Whether life feels loud and relentless—or quietly disconnected—you don’t have to go through it alone. Let’s start uncovering your next chapter, together.
