About me ⤵️
I am a somatically-oriented, mindfulness-based psychologist offering therapy, teletherapy, and consultation with a specialization in healing functional medical problems – especially brain-gut disorders. I focus on healing "medically unexplained" physiological problems in conjunction with addressing symptoms of anxiety, panic, interpersonal relationships, attachment, and trauma. I have experience working closely with leading physicians and researchers at one of the country's premier medical centers for treating brain-gut disorders, after having healed and recovered from IBS myself.
About brain-gut disorders ⤵️
Brain-gut disorders, also known as functional gastrointestinal problems, refers to a variety of digestive problems that are "medically unexplained." The most common brain-gut disorder is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), but there are other lesser-known diagnoses like functional dyspepsia, cyclic vomiting, regurgitation, reflux, and others. Brain-gut digestive problems are not purely physiological in nature; they are generated, perpetuated, and/or exacerbated by the interactivity between the brain and gut.
The complexity of your gut makes healing from IBS and other brain-gut disorders a challenging, intricate process. While there are medications and diets to manage or ameliorate certain symptoms, physicians are typically unable to fix or cure brain-gut digestive problems because they are unable to determine a clear physiological cause. Your psychology and your nervous system have a lot to do with it.
When I started this work, the medical community insisted that stress has nothing to do with digestive problems. Today, it is well-accepted that there is a relationship between stress, trauma, and digestive symptoms. Reducing stress by avoiding stress is not a realistic approach. I have a better one: Regulate your nervous system and increase your capacity for living in the high-stress, fast-paced world in which we live.
