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 clinical knowledge and filling in any gaps in one of my expertise areas. I absolutely love working with therapists to untangle a nuanced clinical picture with care, humility and depth.

Even the best therapists 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, or conceptualized through incomplete or mismatched frameworks, and I see this can actually causing harm for clients over the long-haul, despite clinicians putting in their best work and intentions.

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.

Areas of Expertise:

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

  • 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

How I Approach Consultation:

My consultation style is collaborative, reflective, and clinically grounded. This is not supervision and not evaluation—it’s a thinking 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.

Consultation Specifics:

  • Who I consult with: Any professional interacting with clients that feels their work would benefit from more clinical insight

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

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

    • Medical support persons — 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.
