You have reached a point, and you feel lost and overwhelmed.  Typically, this comes after you have talked with several caregivers and received differing evaluations of the symptoms you or your loved one are experiencing and do not know what to do next.

​

Feeling stuck is especially likely when one faces multiple diagnoses or complex symptoms. Or are they looking for guidance and support on handling a specific situation they don't know what to do next?

​

Inflammation and underlying infections are often contributing causes, especially in children and teens with no difficulties who suddenly begin to display unusual symptoms. Teens, young adults and adults survivors of developmental and complex trauma spend years in therapy without feeling better, usually due to undiagnosed or under-treated medical root causes (neuroimmune and neuroinflammation).

​

Targeting all aspects of wellness is critical to the success of efforts to restore body and mental health. Failure to do so is a common reason why many people, especially ones who were or are exposed to chronic stress and trauma, are not able to improve their symptoms enough maintain progress once achieved.  

 

Aspects of wellness that need to be addressed include:

(1) Emotional – dealing with first-line emotions such as fear and anger and second-line emotions such as shame, guilt, and pain; 

(2) Cognitive – the way we process thoughts, how we focus attention and retention of information; 

(3) Physical – the way we manage body-health, nutrition and nourishment, sleep, movement, and exercise;
(4) Spiritual –our worldview - the framework we use to find meaning and purpose in life;

(5) Social –  relationships with spouses, family, friends, colleagues, and strangers.

​

Consultation can be a one-time or a series of sessions, usually a short-term process (2-6 months) when we target a specific issue or work together to tailor a comprehensive intervention plan. 

I consult individuals, couples, parents and families in all 50 states. Direct therapy services are available only to MD and FL residents.

​

In this process, I will work with you, like a private investigator, to develop a timeline (from conception to the present day), identifying any possible root causes or contributing factors that may be impacting your ability to maintain sustainability.

In longer-term consultations, I collaborate with or refer to specialists including a neurologist, psychiatrist, infectious disease specialist, immunologist, endocrinologist, as well as paramedical specialists such as occupational therapists, physical therapists, nutritionists, and audiologists. Additionally, I work with neuropsychologists, special teachers for corrective learning, executive coaches, and parental advocates to help target all aspects of life towards maximum wellness. 

I suggest a timeline of intervention that is critical for the success of the intervention and advise you on when to add an intervention in your individual context.
