Accepting new clients in Idaho + Alabama, and trained in EMDR and Brainspotting.
Life can be stressful and the way we cope works until it no longer does. At any point, we may experience life transitions we were not expecting. There may be a part of you wondering if perhaps it’s time for a change, to reduce stress, deal with past trauma, create a new or revised path for yourself, or to focus on healing. I believe every single person has tools that they, knowingly or not, tap into even in the toughest situations. Humans are incredibly adaptive beings and the more we have the opportunity to lean into our authentic selves, the better.

Life is the ultimate teacher, and in my case, it sparked my passion for helping and guiding people who have experienced trauma, struggling with chronic pain, sleep and/or other mental health conditions. After serving two decades in military medicine pivoting to becoming a psychologist as my second career post-retirement seemed to be a natural choice, given my desire to help others and the growing need that I saw every day. My hope is to be able to help make the lives of others better through care and compassion that fits their needs and goals. Human beings are not one size fits all so why should therapy be?

How does therapy for chronic illness work?
Many people living with a chronic illness may feel they cannot speak honestly about their experience out of embarrassment or fear of being a burden, or because those close to them do not understand, for example, that they may “look good” even if they do not feel good. Therapy sessions are an opportunity to speak openly with someone who knows their symptoms are not in their head and who can offer practical, proven suggestions for managing feelings of grief, shame, or fatigue, such as techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts about symptoms and develop new ways to respond to them, such as distraction or calming breathing practices.
Can therapy help with physical symptoms of chronic illness?
Yes, especially if an individual with chronic illness has developed depression. People with depression are less likely to maintain their health treatment regimens or to take positive steps to manage physical symptoms when they arise, thereby potentially complicating their medical prognosis. Treatment of depression, through talk therapy, medication, or both, will often improve one’s physical state as it eases the emotional burden of illness.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic illness?
No one living with a chronic illness, or their loved ones, should see depression as an unavoidable result of their condition. Instead, they should actively seek treatment. Research shows that people with depression are less likely to devote the required time and effort to maintaining or monitoring their health, and so therapy to limit the risk of depression can be vital for physical health as well. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction have been found to help individuals reduce stress and anxiety.
How long does therapy for chronic illness take?
There is no set timeline for therapy for people living with chronic illnesses, but many will see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 weekly sessions. Some people feel that they experience progress faster than others but even some who quickly feel improvement may continue with sessions for months or years. Some people may benefit from maintenance therapy if their symptoms change or they experience a decline in physical health. Others find that the skills learned in short-term therapy can be used on an ongoing basis, even after therapy has concluded.
