Clinical Consultation

Gain clarity and confidence:

Clinical consultation with me offers a chance for you to slow cases down, have a fresh set of eyes, and to sharpen your clinical clarity. Our time will focus on whatever you are needing, but most people either spend their time by talking through a specific case in-depth, or on expanding their clinical knowledge and understanding in one of my expertise areas. I absolutely love working with therapists and collaborative-care providers to untangle a nuanced clinical picture with care, humility and depth.

Even the best clinicians encounter cases that feel sticky: diagnoses that sort of fit…but not quite. Progress stalls despite you putting in solid work. A client’s nervous system seeming to respond to something that is more than meets the eye.

So many women are diagnosed, treated, and/or conceptualized through incomplete or mismatched frameworks, and I know that this can actually cause harm for clients over the long-haul, despite clinicians putting in their best work and intentions. I also know that it can feel confusing and demoralizing on the clinician’s end, which can lead to professional doubt and burnout in the long term.

Why I Offer Consultation:

Overlaps that can look deceptively similar on the surface:

  • Anxiety vs. OCD

  • Anxiety vs. trauma responses vs. ADHD compensations

  • Hormonal changes (perinatal, menopause/perimenopause) vs. anxiety

  • Burnout and adult ADHD presentations in women

  • Perfectionistic anxiety vs. OCD

  • OCD and intrusive thoughts that may make your clinical alarm bells shriek

I offer consultation because more accurate conceptualization leads to better care for clients. I deeply believe that our clients deserve to have access to all the information they need to feel better.

I most often consult on cases involving:

  • Women across the lifespan

  • Neuroscience-informed treatment

  • Perinatal and postpartum mental health

  • Anxiety disorders

  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder & Treatment (using ERP, ACT, I-CBT)

  • Trauma and complex trauma

  • Providing trauma-informed care

  • Narcissistic abuse and recovery

  • Differential diagnoses

  • Helping to identify adult ADHD in women that has been overlooked

  • Case conceptualization and gathering client context that makes a case make more sense

Areas of Expertise:

My consultation style is collaborative, reflective, and clinically grounded. This is not supervision or evaluation—it’s a problem-solving space.

Together we may:

  • Clarify differential diagnoses and overlapping symptom profiles

  • Explore how trauma, anxiety, OCD, ADHD and relational trauma/abuse intersect

  • Examine how gendered socialization and reproductive transition impact presentation

  • Identify blind spots created by nuance that our diagnostic manual fails to articulate

  • Refine treatment direction when progress feels unclear or has stalled

I bring a particular attunement to how nervous systems adapt to chronic stress, relational harm, disordered thinking, threat interpretation and internalized responsibility, and how those adaptions can be misread in clinical settings.

How I Approach Consultation:

  • Who I consult with: Any professional interacting with clients that feels their work would benefit from more mental health-based clinical insight, including:

    • Mental health professional of all license levels and in any geographic location

    • Medical professionals — Doctors, prescribers, PTs, OTs, etc.

    • Allied healthcare professionals — doulas, lactation specialists, parental support and coaches, etc.

  • How we meet: Virtually in a HIPAA-compliant platform

  • Frequency: As often as you need it. Some people need multiple meetings for complex cases or learning, and some don’t.

  • Fees: $200 per hour, with time prorated if we go over during a consultation. I don’t schedule consultations for under an hour.
