I was doing work I believed in CBT, DBT, EMDR with bright, driven women but something wasn’t adding up. Progress, progress, progress… then a crash I couldn’t explain.
Then a conversation changed everything: “All the talk therapy in the world won’t give a woman more progesterone.”
That moment rewired everything. I dove into menstrual health training, hormone research, and cycle tracking and started seeing what had been there all along.
Now, I help therapists bridge mental health and hormone health so clients aren’t just managing symptoms they finally understand them.

Imagine sitting with a client who bursts into tears mid-session—seemingly out of nowhere. She's sharp, successful, and committed to her growth. But once a month, her progress feels like it unravels. She's told she’s “too sensitive,” maybe even misdiagnosed with a mood disorder.
What if, instead of pathologizing her, you had the tools to recognize a hormonal pattern at play?
This training takes you inside the dance of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and serotonin—how they shape mood, cognition, and even identity. You’ll explore why some clients experience deep emotional shifts around their cycle, how to distinguish between PMDD, PME, and common misdiagnoses, and how to respond with empathy and insight.
We’ll also unpack how hormonal birth control affects the brain-body feedback loop—and why this matters in your work. You’ll learn to apply cycle-aware strategies that strengthen therapeutic outcomes without overcomplicating care.
Whether you support high-performing professionals, trauma survivors, or teens navigating menarche, this training will expand your clinical lens—and help your clients feel truly seen.

Hormones & the Mind:
Understand how estrogen, progesterone, and serotonin interact to influence mood, focus, and emotional resilience—and why these changes can feel like a personality shift.
Learn to recognize the phases of the ovulatory cycle, differentiate PMDD from PME, and spot hormone-sensitive mood patterns that are often misdiagnosed as other disorders.
Cycle-Informed Care: Explore practical, phase-based interventions, how to integrate cycle tracking into therapy, and why hormonal birth control’s impact on the brain–ovary feedback loop matters for your clients.
