If you experience intense mood changes, depression, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm in the days or weeks before your period, you may be dealing with PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder). I offer PMDD-informed therapy in Nevada City for women who want support navigating the emotional and nervous system impact of their cycle.
What PMDD can feel like:
- Sudden depression or hopelessness
- Intense irritability or anger
- Anxiety or panic
- Feeling unlike yourself
- Relationship strain during certain times of the month
My approach to PMDD support
PMDD is not “just hormones”—it deeply impacts your nervous system, emotions, and sense of self.
In therapy, we:
- Track patterns across your cycle
- Support nervous system regulation
- Work with the parts of you that show up during harder phases
- Build compassion and understanding for your experience
You’re not too much
Many people with PMDD feel shame about how they change throughout the month. This space is about reducing that shame and helping you feel more supported and resourced.
If you’re looking for PMDD therapy in Nevada City or anywhere in California via telehealth, I’d be honored to support you.
