I work primarily with teenage girls and those with chronic illness utilizing Narrative and Dialectical Behavior Therapies. While these populations are seemingly different, their goals are similar: being seen, heard and validated. In my work with those afflicted with chronic illness and pain, I feel it is my duty to support and validate your diagnosis, perhaps for the very first time. Having a chronic illness can be incredibly lonely and isolating. I want to give you the space to both mourn what you have lost, while also offering perspective and strength to embark on a new path forward.

Adolescence is a demanding developmental time for the entire family system, but the adolescent years don’t need to be filled with chaos and confusion. Instead, we can support our young people to embrace change and live with a deep sense of community, connection, and confidence.

Does your relationship turn you into a wild animal? Like sometimes it’s as if you and your partner are fighting over a hyena carcass when really you’re discussing basic domestic issues? You are not crazy and you’re not alone. We get most triggered by our intimate relationships and when we do, it becomes harder to repair disconnection and access love. It also becomes most harder to deal with the ups and downs that life throws at you. Learn to fight better and you can fight the world together instead of spending all your time battling at home.

Chronic Illness Therapists

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.
