Reframe Counseling
About
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in California providing telehealth (online) counseling services to adult clients. With over 13 years of experience, I offer a blended, yet present-focused approach to healing and well-being. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, insomnia, addiction, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and ADHD. I have extensive experience in working with anxiety and depression in adults. I am neurodiversity affirming and also specialize in working with parents of neurodivergent children, as well as adults diagnosed with ADHD later in life. I believe that the therapeutic relationship and rapport building are vital in helping clients get the most out of their counseling experience. My role is to help support my clients in creating attainable goals that they can succeed in accomplishing.
EDS Healthcare in North Carolina
Duke University Hospital's Division of Medical Genetics includes a Marfan Syndrome and Connective Tissue Disorders program that evaluates EDS patients. UNC Chapel Hill has a genetics department that can assist with connective tissue disorder evaluations. North Carolina Medicaid expanded genetic testing coverage in October 2024, improving access for eligible patients.
EDS resources are concentrated in the Research Triangle area (Durham-Raleigh-Chapel Hill). Western North Carolina's mountain communities and eastern rural areas have limited specialist access. The state's expanded Medicaid genetic testing coverage since October 2024 is a meaningful improvement for eligible patients.
Finding Mental Health for EDS
Look for a therapist who has worked with chronic illness patients and understands that EDS-related anxiety and depression often have physical triggers, not just psychological ones.
