Living with a medical condition is exhausting. You've probably learned that even getting the care you need feels like a full-time job - appointments, advocating for yourself, and explaining your story over and over. You don't need to carry the weight of it on your own. I help people with chronic pain, chronic illness and complex medical disorders navigate the stress that symptoms place on the mind and body. My approach focuses on the nervous system and how patterns of stress can amplify symptoms. Together we work to calm the system, process what you’ve been through, and help your body move out of constant high alert.
We'll start by helping your brain and body move out of patterns of chronic survival and protection mode. We’ll look at how stress, your relationships, and even personality traits may be shaping how your body is impacting chronic pain or responding to medical illness. We’ll then set up habits and routines that help your body find more consistency.
It’s common to feel hesitant about contacting a therapist, particularly if past experiences with the healthcare system have felt frustrating or invalidating. If you’re wondering whether this type of work might be helpful, we can start with a brief consultation to talk about your symptoms and what you’re hoping to change.
