What you should know about me: With patients who have endometriosis, I approach the plan of care with a biopsychosocial approach. Thus, I am assessing and treating the musculoskeletal impairments of endometriosis, including visceral mobilization to address abdominal and pelvic viscera fascial adhesions, myofascial release, and soft tissue mobilization of pelvic floor muscles and surrounding pelvic muscles, as well as addressing bowel and bladder habits. I also usually refer the patient to CBT or some form of therapy to address possible previous trauma, trauma from being gas light by medical providers regarding their pain/symptoms, for any anxiety/depression related to the disease from being in constant and chronic pain, and to receive education in pain science in order to prevent or treat central sensitization or sympathetic up-regulation. I will also educate the patient myself in the role of the sympathetic nervous system in regard to chronic pain and ways to manage the sympathetic response through activities that help them regulate, whether that be meditation, yoga, acupuncture, journaling, etc. I address or refer to a nutritionist regarding diet in order to prevent increased systemic inflammation from food. Lastly, I address the relationship between sleep and pain management and discuss the avoidance of estrogen disruptors in their environment to prevent excess systemic estrogen.

What you should know about me: My passion for endometriosis came from seeing patient after patient who had gotten nowhere with their treatment for YEARS. The physical, mental, and emotional toll it had taken on these people was heartbreaking. I committed myself to being the person to treat what I could and guide them to the right people for the things that are outside of my scope of practice.
Take a biopsychosocial approach to treat all aspects of the person. Treatment techniques I use include myofascial release, trigger point release, stretching, scar tissue mobilization, and somatic exercises. We also work to decrease central nervous system sensitization that can amplify pain signals—breathing exercises, vagus nerve stimulation, and education. We use treatments such as TENS and dry needling for patients open to these modalities.
I help patients prepare for excision surgery and recover after surgery. I also treat secondary symptoms that occur with endometriosis, such as hip/back/groin pain, pain with intercourse, interstitial cystitis, and more! I firmly believe in a team approach and am dedicated to using my network of other practitioners to help patients.
It’s not “all in your head,” and I would love to help you.
