The questionnaires above are thorough, and invite you to share as much or as little as you want. My clients usually share that they develop important insights through the process of answering the questions. And your responses help me develop a deeper and more nuanced understanding of who you are, what matters to you, what connects you with purpose and joy, what you want and need, the context of your lived experience, the resources you have access to, your symptom patterns, and other aspects that can open possibilities for healing and recovery.

The assessment includes three 50 minute sessions, and each session is shaped by your needs.

The first two sessions give us the time and space to explore your story, symptoms, needs, resources, and context in depth. We can identify patterns, clarify whether a neuroplastic component may be contributing to your symptoms, and, when helpful, use gentle provocative testing as developed by Dr. Howard Schubiner, with whom I am trained and certified, to bring additional insight. These sessions allow us to parse the complexity of your experience with nuance and precision, while fostering safety, trust, and clarity.

The third session focuses on integration. This is an opportunity to review what you’ve learned, answer any remaining questions, and clarify next steps for your healing and recovery.

In each session, we might start with a body based practice to help your nervous system access safety and trust as we go, or go straight into conversation: your choice.

We may explore education around pain science or nervous system regulation, bring awareness to stuck patterns, offer space to explore the connection between your symptoms and emotions that have been hard to access or express, identify parts of you that are yearning to be seen, heard, and tended to, and address anxiety or doubts about diagnoses you’ve received, treatments you’re engaging in, and your mindbody healing journey.

Sometimes sessions are more spacious and reflective. Others are more structured or directed. Always, we’ll work collaboratively, and move at the pace your bodymind can integrate and honoring what you want and need from our work together.

Our work together will be focused within our scheduled sessions. This boundary supports the depth and sustainability of the care I provide, and also honors your capacity to integrate the work between sessions.

If you believe you're dealing with a new, acute, or urgent medical issue, it's important to consult a licensed healthcare provider local to you, who can examine and order tests if necessary.

If you’re experiencing a medical emergency, please go to your nearest emergency service or call your local emergency number.

This in-depth assessment is a process of joint exploration and discovery. While I can offer education, context, and perspective to help you better understand your symptoms and have more informed conversations with your care team, it does not constitute or replace medical diagnosis or treatment.

Often, people with neuroplastic symptoms experience significant anxiety around health, even after different specialists have ruled out significant concerns, and with multiple lab/imaging results that are within the normal or expected range. They can find themselves caught in a loop or story that there is something terribly wrong that just hasn’t been found yet. If this sounds like you, the symptoms and anxiety you’re experiencing can be different manifestations of the fear-pain/symptom cycle that may be addressed, and healed, through a mindbody approach and neural repatterning practices. We can explore this together.
