Hi, thanks for reaching out. I know this is hard because you’re not usually a reacher outer. You're existing in spaces with people all around you but you feel small, maybe invisible. You’re disconnected from your own body, your desires, your partner(s), and your community. You feel frazzled and fragmented and flat-out exhausted. You also have an inkling, a knowing that somewhere inside you there is another way but you haven't learned to trust your knowing yet. You don't want to keep doing what you've always done, but have no idea how to go forward.

Life is often stressful and living with chronic illness only makes life more challenging. Having a therapist who also understands the mental and emotional side of chronic illness/diabetes can be really helpful. In my practice, I work with clients by compassionately building from their strengths, increasing their coping strategies for more insight and self-understanding, increased emotional regulation and stress management, and improving depression, anxiety, trauma, and diabetes-related distress.

Are you tired of feeling frustrated or hurt in your relationship? Do you have the same argument over and over with your partner but yet things never seem to change? You may blame each other or speak with sarcasm or defensiveness when you talk. It's easier sometimes to just avoid the hard conversations but then the problem never gets solved and you're left feeling unheard. Maybe you walk on eggshells because you can't be honest about your true feelings. Or perhaps your connection has grown stale over time and the passion just isn't there anymore. You'd love to have deeper emotional intimacy and exciting sex with the one you love.
