For medical providers

A diagnosis, a procedure, a hard recovery, or a major life change can bring up anxiety, grief, or past trauma that affects how patients heal. I support patients through:

• Pre- and post-surgical adjustment

• Chronic pain and chronic illness: coping with ongoing symptoms, medical stress, and changes in daily life

• Medical trauma and PTSD

• Postpartum depression and anxiety

• Relationship strain: when health challenges affect a partnership

With the patient's written consent, I'm glad to coordinate with your team.

For therapists and mental health professionals

I value my relationships with colleagues and welcome referrals when a client could benefit from specialized support. Common reasons therapists refer to me include:

• Trauma-focused treatment: for clients who need EMDR or Brainspotting

• Adjunctive or concurrent care: focused trauma processing while the client continues ongoing therapy with you

• Specialty fit: clients presenting with chronic pain, chronic illness, medical trauma, or postpartum concerns

• Couples therapy: when an individual client's relationship needs separate support

• Capacity or location: when your caseload is full, or the client needs telehealth in California or Indiana

When a client comes to me for adjunctive care, I respect your primary treatment relationship. With the client's consent, I coordinate goals and keep you informed so care stays aligned.

For wellness and allied professionals

You often see the emotional side of a client's struggles first. That includes physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, dietitians and nutritionists, doulas, lactation consultants, health and life coaches, and other practitioners. When stress, trauma, or mood concerns start to affect a client's progress, a referral to therapy can support the work you're already doing.

Consider referring when a client:

• Shows ongoing anxiety, low mood, or overwhelm that goes beyond your scope

• Is struggling emotionally with chronic pain, illness, or a slow recovery

• Shares a history of trauma that seems to affect their body, healing, or daily life

• Is having a hard time after birth or during the transition to parenthood

• Is facing relationship stress connected to health or life changes

Your client doesn't have to leave your care to work with me. Therapy can run alongside your services, and with the client's consent, I'm happy to communicate so our work supports each other.
