Lyme disease can profoundly impact any aspect of life, including interpersonal relationships and day-to-day functioning at home, in school, and in the workplace. The journey toward diagnosis is often fraught with challenges, as many chronic Lyme patients experience delays or inaccuracies in their diagnoses. This can lead to extended periods of trial and error with ineffective treatments, leaving patients feeling isolated and misunderstood.

As a Lyme-literate therapist, coach, and consultant, I can be a vital member of your treatment team as you navigate this difficult path. My services are tailored to your needs, providing support, direction, and coping strategies essential for healing. My comprehensive understanding of tick-borne diseases and related conditions allows me to help you address the complex medical issues you face, while also recognizing the additional emotional burdens that come from living in a world where validation of your experience is often scarce.

Through my extensive training and experience, I help patients gain insight into their illness and develop effective strategies for managing symptoms. You can expect to learn how to cope with the challenges that arise from symptom flares and treatment side effects, all while striving to function at your highest capacity. For family and friends of Lyme patients, I can assist in advocacy, education, and support as you help a loved one.

Additionally, I focus on enhancing communication and problem-solving skills within your family and social circles. Establishing boundaries with those who lack an understanding of Lyme disease is also a crucial part of the therapeutic process. Together, we will work toward fostering a sense of empowerment and connection as you navigate the complexities of living with Lyme disease and co-infections.
