Most people arrive knowing something needs to change. Sometimes they can name it exactly. Sometimes it is only a signal that the way things are going is not working. Either one is enough to start.
I work with adults in demanding careers. Media and entertainment, military and politics, professional athletics, law. High-visibility work that leaves little room to be a beginner at anything.
Sessions are educational and forward-looking. We name what keeps happening, build the skill the change takes, and rehearse it against your real week. I am not a licensed therapist or psychologist, and what I offer is not therapy.

In my practice, I work collaboratively with my clients to set goals and help them to feel understood and become the best versions of themselves.

This isn't about masking better or "managing" who you are. It's about building a life that fits how your brain and body actually work.
My clients are autistic and ADHD adults — newly diagnosed, late-diagnosed, or self-identified — who've spent years masking, compensating, and pushing through to the point of burnout.
I help you move from compensation to actually living: sensory regulation that fits your nervous system, executive function strategies that work the way you think, and daily routines that don't drain you.

You’ve spent a long time learning how to take up less space. Reading the room. Adjusting your tone. Shrinking parts of yourself just to stay safe, accepted, or understood. And now something in you is tired of that. I work with women who are carrying the weight of complex trauma, especially the kind that doesn’t always get named. The microaggressions. The quiet invalidations. The pressure to be “easy,” “strong,” or “grateful” in spaces that don’t always feel safe to fully exist in. If you’ve ever felt like you had to choose between being accepted and being yourself… I see you. I’ve lived that too.

FAQ - PMDD Counseling
How can Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) affect mental health?
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) can have a significant impact on mental health. PMDD is a more severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and may cause intense mood-related symptoms in the days or weeks before a period, such as mood swings, irritability, anxiety, sadness, hopelessness, or loss of interest in activities you normally enjoy. For some people, PMDD can also worsen existing mental health concerns, such as anxiety or depression. Symptoms may also affect relationships, work, or school responsibilities, especially when they happen consistently month after month.
How can therapy help with PMDD?
Therapy can help you better understand the emotional patterns that may come with PMDD and help you track symptoms across your cycle, identify triggers, and plan ahead for times when symptoms tend to peak. Therapy may also help you develop coping strategies for managing intense emotions, communicating with loved ones, and reducing the impact PMDD has on work, school, or relationships. Approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be especially helpful for noticing unhelpful thought patterns and building more practical coping skills for responding to distress. PMDD is also commonly treated with medication or hormonal options, so a therapist may encourage you to coordinate with a medical provider if they feel this may be a helpful addition to therapy.
Can a therapist diagnose PMDD?
In many cases, licensed mental health professionals, including therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists, can diagnose PMDD. PMDD can also be diagnosed by other medical professionals, such as a primary care physicians (PCPs) or obstetrician-gynecologists (OB-GYNs).
Should I see a therapist or a psychiatrist to help with PMDD?
Whether you should see a therapist or psychiatrist depends on what kind of support you need. A therapist can help with coping skills, emotional regulation, and general patterns of thinking that may make symptoms harder to manage. A psychiatrist, in contrast, can help assess whether medication may be helpful and prescribe it, when appropriate. Importantly, many people benefit from both therapy and psychiatry. For example, you might see a therapist for ongoing emotional support and a psychiatrist for medication or medical treatment. If you are not sure where to start, your primary care physician can often help you decide what treatment makes the most sense for you.
