Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Managing women's health issues can be stressful and overwhelming, but you don't need to suffer alone. I support women experiencing things like perimenopause, menopause, PMDD and infertility. We can't eliminate the health issues you are facing, but we can work on strategies for managing the symptoms to ease your stress and help you feel in control of your life again. You don't need to be defined by these health issues; together we will explore who you are and find ways to build a full, satisfying life.
