Why choose a LMFT with a Systemic Lens for Perimenopause Support

Perimenopause isn’t just about hormones — it’s about everything. Your identity, your relationships, your energy, your boundaries, your body, your past. And if you’re like many women, it can feel like all of it is crashing in at once.

What often makes perimenopause harder than it needs to be isn’t the hot flashes or mood shifts — it’s the invisible systems you’ve been holding together for years.

What to do during perimenopause: Breaking the Pattern of Self-Silencing in Perimenopause

In this podcast, we’re focusing on perimenopause—that messy, often confusing stage before menopause that can bring big emotional, physical, and relational changes. It’s not just about hot flashes or hormones. It’s about identity, connection, and how all the parts of our lives interact.

That’s why I believe in looking at perimenopause through a systemic lens—one that considers not just what’s happening inside your body, but also your relationships, family dynamics, work, culture, and more.

Because when we understand the bigger picture, we can find better ways to cope, to connect, and to feel like ourselves again.

In this series, we will utilize female wisdom from cultures and other intersectionalities and the wisdom from female issues to discuss finding your version of healthy and claiming your power during perimenopause.

Whether you’re going through it yourself or supporting someone who is, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. Let’s talk about it.
