ABOUT MY APPROACH
A focused, evidence-based approach to IBS.
GI psychotherapy targets the brain–gut axis to reduce symptoms, calm the nervous system, and restore a sense of predictability and control.
How this work helps
GI psychotherapy focuses on the connection between the brain and the gut.
Many patients complete the appropriate medical workup and follow treatment recommendations, yet still feel stuck in cycles of symptom anxiety, anticipation, and nervous system reactivity that keep IBS flares going.
This work helps interrupt that cycle using evidence-based approaches grounded in decades of clinical research.
