My clinical practice is devoted to supporting people with chronic illness, especially ME/CFS, Long COVID, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, POTS, MCAS, fibromyalgia, lupus, and post-infection disorders. I offer group and individual therapy for adults. I also have experience and special training to help patients adjusting to a cancer diagnosis and/or treatment. My primary approach is a type of CBT called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is mindfulness-based.
Besides individual therapy, I offer biweekly Indiana-wide online GROUPS for adults with 1.) Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and 2.) people living with invisible illness. The groups provide community with others who "get it.” Patients are also supported in finding the right medical team. Groups emphasize coping skills such as pacing.
Individual sessions can help patients further apply the new coping skills with their specific issues and mental health struggles. We address relationships, loss of sense of purpose, and feelings of guilt and self-blame so common with chronic illness. If these are issues you face, I Invite you to call or email me now to begin the conversation.

To make support available to all adjusting to illness, I accept most commercial insurance including Medicare/Medicaid, which generally covers my services at the same rate as your medical care. If I don't accept your insurance, I provide "superbills" so you can submit for reimbursement if an option.
