Medical Trauma & Chronic Illness Psychotherapy
Medical Trauma & Chronic Illness Psychotherapy is designed for people whose emotional pain is tightly woven into their medical history. I draw on nearly 40 years of experience to help you process fear, grief, and anger linked to diagnoses, procedures, and long stretches in healthcare settings.
We look directly at medical PTSD-nightmares, flashbacks, panic before appointments-and gently unpack what has happened to you, not what is "wrong" with you. I am deeply familiar with conditions such as POTS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, CRPS, Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy, and chronic pain, so you don't have to spend sessions educating me about the basics.
Together we build practical coping tools: calming your body before and after appointments, managing depression and anxiety on flare days, setting limits with providers, and balancing rest with the life you still want. Therapy takes place online anywhere in Maryland, at a pace that respects your energy, mobility, and medical demands, so care fits around your health-not the other way around.
