I work with individuals navigating chronic illness who may be struggling with grief, isolation, shame, loss of identity, changes in relationships, and the emotional impact of limitations that feel outside of their control. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been managing a condition for many years, therapy can provide a space to process the challenges that come with adapting to ongoing changes and uncertainty. Together, we work toward building practical coping strategies, increasing emotional resilience, improving communication and boundaries, and creating a life that feels meaningful despite ongoing challenges.
I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support acceptance and values-based living, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to strengthen emotional regulation and coping skills, and mindfulness-based approaches.
My goal is to help clients feel less alone while developing the tools and insight needed to navigate the realities of chronic illness with greater self-understanding, flexibility, and compassion for themselves.
