What you can expect
As someone who’s been through it, I know the power of having your feelings, perceptions, and experiences validated. I’m here to offer you that space—one where your struggles are heard, your concerns are addressed, and your potential is celebrated.
We’ll work together to:
-
Heal past wounds that may be holding you back.
-
Focus on building a confident, empowered present and future.
-
Bust the myth that you have to “just deal with” hormonal chaos.
If you’re ready to rewrite the narrative around postpartum period, PMS, PMDD, Perimenopause, or Menopause and take meaningful steps toward balance and fulfillment, I’m here to help.
Why I use a hormone-informed approach.
For nearly 30 years, I’ve been on my own adventure with hormones, navigating the highs, lows, and in-betweens of the female experience. Along the way, I’ve learned one powerful truth: shame has no place in any journey. Unfortunately, knowledge and understanding of these transitions are far too often lacking. To be honest (or TBH as the kids say) hormones impact more than just women, they impact relationships of all kinds because and that needs to be acknowledged.
I work with women who feel burdened by the idea that they’re “crazy” and have resigned themselves to the disruption that postpartum period, PMS, PMDD, Perimenopause, and Menopause can bring to their lives and relationships. My mission is to challenge that belief, helping people take back control and find peace and empowerment in their lives.
I also work with couples & individuals to help them overcome struggles that hold them back in their personal lives, relationships, and sometimes careers.

Know Me
Registered Master-Level Social Worker & Menopause Mental Health Certified Practitioner
Hi, I’m Jessica! I’m a mom navigating the joys and challenges of raising teenagers while also finding my way through the transitions of midlife. My husband and I often laugh (and sometimes groan) about where the time has gone as we adjust to having more space to rediscover ourselves, and figure out what to do with each other! Life is a mix of chaos, joy, hurt and repair. Life throws us lots of ups and downs and we all do our best to manage all the things, grow into the person we want to be also be present with the people in our live – this even includes being my best to emotionally support my super-anxious dog, who panics at even the possibility of rain!
I’m not the tidiest person, but I’ve mastered my own organizational systems that, while unique and creative, work perfectly for me—just like the approaches I bring to my clients. I love aligning with who my clients are at their core and coming up with creative ways of helping make sense of all their things!
