​For more than 20 years, I’ve supported individuals, families, and communities through complex emotional and medical challenges.

I became a chronic‑illness therapist because I personally experienced — and repeatedly witnessed — how often people with long‑term, complex conditions were dismissed or misunderstood by the medical system.

 

Individuals living with Chronic Lyme disease, tick‑borne illness, POTS, MCAS, Ehlers‑Danlos Syndrome, ME/CFS, long COVID, chronic pain, and other invisible illnesses are frequently told their symptoms are “just anxiety,” “stress,” or “in their head.”

 

That dismissal isn’t just invalidating. It’s traumatic. It creates medical trauma, self‑doubt, fear, and years of searching for answers without support.

​

My role exists to create a different experience — one where you’re believed, supported, and understood. Chronic illness touches every part of life: your emotions, your relationships, and your sense of who you are.​

 

Who I work With:

​

• Chronic Lyme disease and tick‑borne co‑infections

• POTS and other forms of dysautonomia

• MCAS and mast‑cell‑related conditions

• ME/CFS and post‑viral syndromes

• Long COVID

• Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions

• Chronic pain 

• Epilepsy

• Medically complex or undiagnosed symptoms

• People navigating medical gaslighting or dismissal

 

I also support caregivers, families couples who want to better understand and support their loved ones.

​

My Work Centers On:

​

• Validation and safety — because being believed is foundational

• Understanding the nervous system and how dysautonomia, mast cell activation, and chronic infection affect emotional wellbeing

• Supporting clients through medical trauma and dismissal

• Navigating identity shifts, grief, and uncertainty

• Building sustainable coping strategies that honor your body’s limits

• Creating space for hope, meaning, and self‑compassion

 

I meet you exactly where you are — whether you’re newly diagnosed, years into your illness, or still searching for answers.
