Therapy for Women 40+
A calm, culturally attuned space to work through anxiety, overwhelm, and major life transitions.
You don't have to keep holding everything together alone. If you're capable on the outside and exhausted underneath, you're not the only one. Therapy gives you somewhere to slow down, hear yourself, and figure out what you actually need next."
When life feels heavy, you deserve space to breathe.
If you’re keeping it all together on the outside but unraveling quietly underneath, I see you.
Midlife can bring invisible pressure, changing roles, and exhaustion that’s hard to explain.
Therapy is a place to slow down, feel what’s real, and reconnect with the strength already within you.
Hi, I’m Alexis
I'm a bilingual therapist in Bethesda, Maryland. I work mostly with women in midlife who look capable from the outside but are running on fumes underneath. Anxiety, burnout, the slow loss of yourself inside everyone else's needs. We work at your pace. You don't have to explain everything from the top.
What Therapy Can Offer
You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.
You don't need to know where to start. I draw from AEDP, CBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy, but technique isn't the point. The point is connection. The point is finding somewhere you can think clearly again.

Featured Writing & Reflections
As Featured on the Anxiety & Depression Association of America (ADAA)
Women in midlife say the same thing to me over and over: 'I don't feel like myself anymore.' The fatigue, the irritability, the anxiety that came out of nowhere. Almost no one is talking about it.
That’s why I recently wrote an article for the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA): 5 Things Latina Women Should Know About Mental Health During Perimenopause.
In the piece, I explore how hormonal shifts and cultural values—like familismo and resilience—shape Latina women’s experiences during perimenopause and midlife. You’ll also find practical ways to care for your mental health with compassion, awareness, and cultural understanding.
