OFFICE LOCATED IN LOWER WESTCHESTER, NY OFFERING IN PERSON OR TELEHEALTH
I came into this area of focus after my daughter was diagnosed with a vestibular condition called Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS). Over the past ten years, neurologists told us she would live with this incurable condition and to limit what she does in life. These conditions are often treated with vestibular therapy and SSRI's because there is nothing 'to fix', meaning there is no structural cause or tissue damage. Her debilitating dizziness is real. But as I finally learned, after mountains and years of research, her vestibular condition is the result of neural circuit dysfunction. When my daughter literally disembarked from a boat ride, she felt the normal sensations of 'rocking' as if she was still on a boat. But her brain had an overactive response to her rocking sensations, saw them as 'danger' and locked her psyche and her body into a fear-anxiety-symptom loop. Thanks to resources and trainings through Dr. Yonit Arthur, AuD and Howard Schubiner, MD, my daughter is on her path to recovery. I have trained in Nervous System Reset and Pain Reprocessing Therapy to aid others suffering from chronic pain and/or dizziness that has no medical cause.
I offer both individual and group sessions for PRT. Please contact me below!
