Therapy for Perinatal and Reproductive Mental Health in South Carolina

Some days it can feel like your emotions are running the show—stress, mood swings, or anxiety take over while you’re trying to navigate fertility treatment, pregnancy changes, or life after birth.

You may feel like your body and mind are out of sync, energy dips hit harder than expected, and it can feel like no one fully understands the weight of what you’re carrying.

I work with women navigating PMOS (PCOS), PMDD, infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum changes who feel emotionally overwhelmed or unlike themselves.

Whether you’re trying to conceive, experiencing infertility, going through pregnancy, or adjusting postpartum—you don’t have to do this alone.

You’re in the right place, and support is here to help you feel steadier, understood, and more like yourself again.

You’re in the right spot if you are…

  • Trying to conceive (TTC) and feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious, or discouraged

  • Experiencing PMDD or severe PMS symptoms that significantly impact your mood and functioning

  • Struggling with PCOS and noticing mood changes, irritability, or emotional intensity

  • Currently pregnant or adjusting to perinatal changes (pregnancy or postpartum)

  • Navigating infertility-related stress, grief, or uncertainty

  • Noticing mood shifts that seem tied to your cycle or hormones

  • Feeling unlike yourself emotionally and wanting clarity on what’s happening

If your reproductive or hormonal changes are affecting your emotions, energy, or sense of self, you are not alone.

You may feel dismissed, minimized, or like no one fully understands what your body is going through. Your emotions might swing between anxiety, irritability, and low mood, leaving you exhausted and overwhelmed.

You might feel confused, drained, or frustrated with the ongoing emotional rollercoaster—and at times, even misunderstood within the medical system or unsure of what’s actually going on. You’re in the right place.

Things We Can Work on Together

IVF, trying to conceive, fertility challenges

Infertility

Hormonal changes, stress, and repeated disappointments can make anxiety, sadness, or irritability more intense
You’re allowed to feel frustrated, drained, or overwhelmed—your emotions are valid, and support is here.

Pregnancy & Postpartum

Pregnancy & postpartum changes

Pregnancy and postpartum shifts in hormones, sleep, and responsibilities can trigger mood swings, anxiety, or postpartum depression.
You don’t have to navigate the highs and lows alone—help that understands this unique period is available.

Cycle-related mood & anxiety fluctuations

PMDD & PMS

Premenstrual hormonal fluctuations can intensify anxiety, irritability, sadness, or emotional reactivity.
It’s okay to acknowledge these shifts and seek support that validates both your mind and body.

PMOS (PCOS)

Hormonal imbalances & irregular cycles

Imbalances in insulin and sex hormones can contribute to anxiety, low mood, and difficulty regulating emotions.
It’s okay to feel out of sync with your body—there’s support that meets you where you are.

Endometriosis

Chronic pain & inflammation

Chronic pain and inflammation can impact mood, energy, and focus, sometimes leading to anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Feeling exhausted, frustrated, or emotional doesn’t mean you’re weak—you deserve care that sees the whole experience.

Puberty

Rapid hormonal shifts can bring anxiety, irritability, and heightened emotional sensitivity.
These changes can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone—guidance is available to help navigate this time.

Teenage hormones & emotional shifts

Perimenopause

Fluctuating estrogen and progesterone can cause mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and sleep disruption.
Even if it feels confusing or unpredictable, you can get support that helps you feel steadier and understood.

Fluctuating hormones

I get it. Reproductive and hormonal changes can feel exhausting, confusing, and like no one really “gets it.” Anxiety, mood swings, or feeling all over the place? You’re in the right place — this is exactly what we’re all about. Care here is guided by authenticity, whole-person support, connection & belonging, and growth, meeting you exactly where you are. Support is tailored for you, combining practical tools, psychoeducation, and compassionate guidance to help you feel steadier, understood, and more like yourself.

Together, we will:

  • Track emotional and mood patterns alongside your cycle when helpful

  • Identify how hormonal shifts may be impacting your mental health

  • Build practical skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance

  • Work through anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional reactivity in real time

  • Support you through fertility-related stress, grief, or uncertainty

  • Coordinate with medical providers when appropriate
