Therapy for Women in Midlife
A calm, culturally attuned space for emotional healing and growth.
You don’t have to hold everything together on your own.
If you’ve been feeling anxious, stretched thin, or unsure of who you are beneath all the responsibilities, you’re not alone.
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 (English/Spanish) therapist based in Bethesda, Maryland. I specialize in helping high-functioning women who feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure of who they are beneath the surface.
Whether you’re juggling parenting, work, caregiving, or all the above, 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 Therapy Can Offer
You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.
We start wherever you are.
I draw from AEDP, mindfulness, CBT, and psychodynamic therapy—woven into a compassionate, relational space where we honor your experiences and move at a pace that feels right to you.
Our work helps you move from overwhelm to grounded clarity.

As a bicultural therapist, I often hear from women who say, “I just don’t feel like myself anymore.”
These changes—fatigue, irritability, sadness, anxiety—can feel confusing and isolating, especially when no one seems to be talking about them.
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.
