Chronic Illness Therapists in Walpole, MA

My coaching practice is compassion-based & uses tools like positive psychology, meditation & hypnotherapy to build confidence & resiliency. Clients include Millennials 20-45, Gen Xers 45-55, & Baby Boomers 56-74 dealing with relationships, career, concerns surrounding parenting, health issues/chronic illness (cancer, diabetes, thyroid disorders, COVID-19), LGBTQIA, disability, and grief from loss (job, parent/family member/friend, partner, child, home, bankruptcy, divorce/separation). My areas of expertise include life coaching, life transitions, love-relationships/dating, & confidence/self-esteem building.

In working with clients, I consider the whole person, their mind, their body, their spirit. These three aspects aren’t separate but are in dynamic conversation: chronic physical symptoms are connected to our mental and emotional states, our feelings of depression relate to how we treat and relate to our bodies and sensorial lives. I enjoy supporting people facing life’s challenges, who are looking for a somatic dimension to their healing. I specialize in helping clients navigate difficult relationships, cope with grief and chronic illness, process the pandemic, and manifest greater depth, vibrancy, and purpose in their lives.

We all experience stress, loss, and other challenges at some point in our lives. When we recognize that we are unhappy with how things are going, we can chose to ignore the problem or do something about it. If we are ready to take action to improve our situation, then seeking psychotherapy can be empowering. It can help us feel validated and regain a sense of control over our lives. As a psychologist for over 30 years, I provide a safe, non-judgmental, supportive environment in which to identify and explore these concerns, develop coping skills, and establish goals to bring about positive change.

Together, we will develop a plan to help you reclaim the parts of your life that bring you peace, meaning, connection and purpose. Let today be the beginning of your odyssey towards fulfillment and living beyond the boundaries of health challenges, stress, anxiety and sadness.

People seek out therapy for a variety of reasons. For some, it’s to find ways to manage the worry of a cancer diagnosis or other acute/chronic illness. For others, it’s to help cope with the grief of losing someone they love. Some are looking for support around depression and anxiety. Others hope to explore strategies to manage the daily stress they experience - at home and/or at work. At times, we all need some extra support. Therapy can help. You’ll discover more about yourself and your strengths, better understand your relationships and build tools and strategies to help you navigate the challenges in your life.

Has life thrown you a curveball? Are you feeling stuck or in a rut? Missing a sense of purpose? That is normal! Those experiences, while difficult, can be a push towards growth and positive changes (change is hard!) & looking for a counselor to speak to is a great step forward. I believe that the best counselors have life experience that supports their specialization. I am able to support you with college prep, career, relationships, marriage, infertility and treatment journeys, pregnancy loss, NICU (happy to zoom into the hospital), dealing with a new diagnosis and chronic illness, and raising children with special needs.

We all approach life in varying ways based upon personal backgrounds and experiences. Sometimes these experiences impact how we live now, our relationships and our own sense of self. I look forward to helping clients with a broad range of issues including: Life transitions, relationship issues, grief, trauma and loss, chronic illness, issues facing LGBTQ persons, anxiety and depression, self-esteem, early life exploration, existential exploration, parenting and family issues, and many others.

Are you feeling completely drained - physically or emotionally? Maybe you can’t even remember the last time you felt well rested and stress-free. Living with stress, anxiety, fertility struggles, postpartum changes, cancer, or insomnia is hard enough but doing it while trying to manage all your other responsibilities can be draining. You may sometimes find yourself worrying about things you never used to even think about. The sadness you feel at times can make it hard to imagine reading a book, going out with friends, cooking a healthy meal, working out, sitting through another school play, or telling your partner about your day.
