Frequently Asked Questions
-
Absolutely. Preparing for a surgery or undergoing an acute medical procedure involves a lot of emotional stress. In therapy, we focus on calming your nervous system ahead of time, processing any fears about the procedure, and building a “toolbox” you can use during your medical experiences and during physical recovery. Your emotional wellbeing is an essential part of your recovery.
-
Yes. Navigating chronic reproductive symptoms without a neat medical label or explicit diagnosis is incredibly lonely and exhausting. Medical gaslighting or a lack of clear answers often amplifies the anxiety and isolation you may already be experiencing. Therapy is a space where your physical reality is fully believed and acknowledged, and we focus entirely on helping you carry the very real emotional weight of living with chronic uncertainty.
-
While traditional therapy can be wonderful, this space specifically acknowledges the deep connection between your physical body, medical events, and your mental health. I don’t just look at your thoughts in a vacuum, but instead work to understand how surgeries, physical pain, and medical transitions have impacted your entire nervous system. Then, we work to heal the emotional and the physical pieces together, so you feel supported as a whole person.
