More Disco, Less Panic Starts Here

Life, relationships, and internal emotional shifts can feel overwhelming in ways that are hard to explain. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, exhausted, overstimulated, or emotionally reactive and wondering why everything feels heavier than it “should.” You might be showing up for your life on the outside while internally feeling unlike yourself, stretched thin, or just not okay.

You are not failing. You are carrying a lot.

I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, relationship stress, and emotional overwhelm across many different seasons of life. Some clients come to me during pregnancy or postpartum, some are navigating PMDD or hormone-related mood shifts, and others are simply trying to make sense of stress, disconnection, or change in their relationships or within themselves.

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), in particular, can feel like a monthly emotional storm—where anxiety, irritability, sadness, or overwhelm seem to take over and then shift again once the cycle changes. If you’ve ever felt like you become a different version of yourself at certain times of the month, there is a reason for that, and there is support available.

At the heart of my work is helping you understand what you’re experiencing, reduce the self-blame that so often comes with it, and build tools that help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more like yourself again.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Provider (PMH-C), trained through Postpartum Support International. My approach is warm, evidence-based, collaborative, and grounded in real life — with room for humor, honesty, and healing. If you are feeling like you want to work towards something new, I would be honored to be apart of that journey.
