If your mood shifts dramatically before your period; if anxiety, irritability, sadness, or overwhelm feel intense and cyclical, you may be experiencing Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD).

 

PMDD is more than “bad PMS” it is a real, hormone-sensitive condition that can deeply impact your emotions, relationships, and sense of self.

​

PMDD can feel like intense irritability, anxiety, or mood swings before your cycle, emotional overwhelm or depression during the luteal phase, or feeling like a completely different version of yourself each month. Many people also notice relief once their period starts, followed by confusion, guilt, or shame about what they experienced.

​

If this sounds familiar, there is a reason—and there is support.

​

In PMDD-focused therapy, we work together to understand your cycle-related patterns, reduce shame and self-blame, build coping tools for the hardest parts of your cycle, support emotional regulation and relationship stress, and help you feel more grounded and in control of your experience.
