Therapy for Autoimmune Disorders,
Chronic Illness and Invisible Illnesses
Support for living a full life alongside conditions that others may not see, held with understanding, not minimized.
A foundation built in the clinic
My first clinical internship was providing therapy at an epilepsy clinic at UCSF. This provided a foundation for me to understand how to support individuals with a wide range of impact on their lives.
In the decade since I have continued to work with those whose lives are impacted by epilepsy and have now expanded my reach to those with autoimmune disorders, in particular, GI disorders, psoriasis and varying arthritic conditions.
Areas of Focus
Medical Trauma
Processing frightening or destabilizing medical experiences.
Appearing “normal”
The contradictions of looking fine to others while struggling underneath.
Lack of community
The isolation of an experience few people around you understand.
Grief & lost parts
Mourning your past life and the parts of yourself you can no longer access.
