I want to be honest with you about something most clinicians won't say out loud: I did not set out to specialize in FND. I became a therapist because I wanted to help people who were carrying things they couldn't put down. Complex trauma. C-PTSD. The kind of weight that shows up in the body long after the original wound has passed. I trained in EMDR because I saw what happened when the brain finally got the chance to process what it had been holding. Something shifted. Not in a dramatic movie moment way — just a quiet, real, unmistakable shift. Like a window opening after years of stale air. And then my clients with FND started having those same shifts. The clients who had been told their seizures were not real. The ones who had been dismissed, misdiagnosed, sent home with nothing but confusion and shame. When we started doing the same trauma-informed work — addressing the nervous system, not just the symptoms — things started changing. Seizure frequency dropped. People started getting their lives back. I followed the outcomes. And the FND Healing Center was born. Here is what I know after years of doing this work: FND is not a mystery. It is not weakness. It is not "all in your head." It is a nervous system doing exactly what it was designed to do — protect you — in a situation where the threat never fully resolved. Our work together is helping your nervous system learn that it is finally safe enough to stand down. I am glad you are here.
