Hello there.

Welcome, I am so glad you are here.

I’m Kimberly, a PMDD Coach, a doctor of psychology, a California licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, professor of marriage and family therapy, a mom of a very outgoing daughter, wife of a firefighter, empath, business owner, coffee addict, PMDD survivor, and so much more. 

Chances are you stumbled upon this in the endless search for help and clarity in the overwhelming ups and downs of PMDD. Or perhaps you are a person who deeply loves someone struggling with PMDD and you are eagerly trying to find the right way to support them. 

Whatever it is that led you here, my hope is that, within this very special place, you find what you are searching for:

Hope, healing, sovereignty, love, compassion, strength, knowledge, courage… whatever you need at THIS moment in your journey.

This space has been a creation in progress for many years, it is a space that has its foundation in my own sense of purpose and calling, a space that stemmed from my own journey with PMDD and how lonely and isolating taking the voyage alone felt (more on that later, stay tuned!). 

For now, as you explore the offerings this space holds, I would love to share with you some encouragement…

 I made it…I am on the other side of what can feel like an impossible journey.

I rediscovered who I am.

I learned to love myself, my whole self.

I learned to rewrite my story and to change my life with PMDD as a part of it instead of something I was so desperately trying to separate from myself. 

I learned to conquer what felt like insurmountable obstacles and gather the confidence and strength I needed to manage my monthly battles. 

I want to help you on your way to the other side. 

You are not alone.

You are not broken beyond repair.

You are not lost. 

You are HERE, exactly where you are meant to be and YOU ARE READY. 

Much Love,
