I feel passionate about educating other professionals and individuals on the connection between women’s health and mental health. For so many women, symptoms are dismissed, minimized or misdiagnosed. It can take years to obtain an accurate diagnosis and find doctors with solutions that work for your specific needs. The result can be feelings of isolation, depression, anxiety, grief & loss on top of the daily physical pain and fatigue. Addressing the emotional trauma experienced by clients with medical conditions should go hand in hand with addressing the physical pain.
