Lyme Literate Therapy
If you are struggling with chronic Lyme disease, chances are you know how important it is to get support and care from Lyme-literate providers who understand the impact that Lyme can have on all aspects of your health (including relationships and mental health). My functional health approach will support your complex health needs. I have extensive knowledge and experience with the impact of Lyme Disease and co-infections on mental health, and vice versa. Lyme and related health issues have an impact on mood, relationships, outlook, and lifestyle. Many people are sick for years before they are correctly diagnosed and treated. In the meantime, people are often diagnosed with mental health issues and their physical symptoms are dismissed as psychological issues.
The relationship between physical and mental health is inseparable.
Lyme, co-infections, gut issues (like SIBO which often results from long term antibiotic treatment) and certain types of treatment can cause and/or worsen mental health symptoms. Lifestyle factors, stress, life experience, social supports, and mental health can affect the immune system’s ability to handle Lyme Disease. We can work together to support your well-being and maximize your ability to heal and thrive.
My family has been profoundly affected by Lyme disease. I have deep empathy for those struggling with Lyme and a visceral understanding of how complex this disease can be. I have worked with countless clients over the years to address their health and well being in relation to Lyme recovery.
