People living with chronic illnesses often can be neglected by healthcare systems. Life gets turned upside down by the onset of a chronic illness. It affects every part of a person's life from their work to their home to their sense of who they are. Chronic illness is a serious adjustment that often needs extra support that healthcare systems don't provide.
My name is Rachel and my specialty is in chronic illness adjustment. I have been a therapist for 15+ years working with people living with chronic illness and their family members. I've worked with people living with heart failure, COPD, cancer, dementia, diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, chronic pain, and even people nearing the end of their lives.
If you or someone you love is struggling with figuring out how to live with a chronic illness, reach out to me! We could meet and discuss options and about your specific illness. You don't have to struggle alone!

I work alongside people who are learning how to live their best life with chronic illness. I help people move from having their illness define their life to finding how to define their life for themselves. During our first few sessions, we talk about how things are now, and then we move into how you want things to be. Most people feel improvement in their mood after the first couple of months.
