medical trauma

THERAPY AND COUNSELING ONLINE FOR FLORIDA RESIDENTS

who have experienced trauma in the medical system

you can get past this. i’m here to support you.

The doctor is supposed to help you feel better.

What happens when the place you go for healing leaves you feeling worse?

Surgeries, tons of appointments, or being ignored by medical professionals can leave you feeling exhausted. Sometimes the people and places you so desperately want to heal you leave you feeling worse, even when their intentions are good.

Chronic illness, recurrent medical procedures, or surgeries can leave you feel lost and untethered. The medical system becomes a scary system that you’re forced to navigate on your own. Even a miraculous cure or life saving procedure can leave you feeling untethered.

You feel lost and isolated. You tell yourself, “I shouldn’t be feeling like this.”

We will work together to help you heal and find your new normal.

You will get stronger.

I will help you find a way to make sense of what happened and integrate the distressing events you experienced. As a therapist, I promise to support you and help you find peace and strength. We will walk this path together.

Therapy is a safe space where you can share and process everything you’re feeling with someone who understands. Our sessions will allow you to laugh, cry, and share without feeling guilty or like you’re burdening those that you love.

I primarily use EMDR combined with a safe and supportive space to help people process and heal from medical trauma. EMDR sessions can only be done in person.
