Philosophy of Endometriosis Care: My treatment approach is integrative, most heavily influenced by evidence-based, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, and humanistic-existential theories. I address unique cultural experiences and various psychological systems that may be contributing to your presenting concerns through an intersectional lens. I approach each patient with endometriosis as an individual with their own unique experiences and needs. I remain empathic, open, and curious to understand all the areas of life endometriosis has impacted their lives to help each patient identify their goals for treatment. I use evidence-based techniques to manage pain, address grief and trauma resulting from seeking a diagnosis, and medical treatment, and navigate work/ relationship difficulties from living with this painful disease.
