Sick people in this country have two jobs; fight to manage their illness, and fight the systems that are actively working against them. My goal is to provide a safe container in which chronically ill people feel heard as they process the trauma they continuously endure, to listen as they describe the detrimental effects of medical gaslighting, and to support them in rewriting their narrative in ways that empower them and restore autonomy to their lives.
There is an ongoing, existential grief associated with chronic illness that can feel overwhelming when you face it alone. I want to support you in expressing, processing, and coping with this very real pain. I can't stop the tides of grief or shield you from the waves crashing over you, but I will sit in the current with you and allow it to flow around us.
I pull from a range of modalities including IFS, DBT, ACT, and Narrative Therapy to create a unique therapy plan for every client, leaning into 'saying the quiet part out loud.' I highly value authenticity and showing up earnestly as an imperfect human; I won't pretend to have all the answers, but I am deeply committed to figuring them out together.
