Your diagnosis changed your life. It doesn't have to define it.
A chronic illness or serious health crisis can upend everything: your career, your relationships, your sense of who you are. On top of the appointments, the symptoms, and the uncertainty, there's the grief that no one talks about, and the exhaustion of explaining yourself over and over to people who don't get it.
I know this territory personally. At 30, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had to rebuild my life from the ground up. I work with people who are living with chronic conditions, recovering from a health scare, or trying to figure out who they are now.
Does this sound familiar?
- You're grieving the life or the body you had before
- You feel isolated, or tired of being "the sick one"
- Managing your health feels like a full-time job on top of your actual job
- You're anxious about what the future holds
- You don't know how to talk to your employer, your partner, or your family about what you need
How we'll work together
We'll make space for the grief, fear, and frustration that come with a diagnosis, and build a life that has room for your health and everything else that matters to you. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), you'll learn to live alongside difficult symptoms and uncertainty without being consumed by them. With Narrative Therapy, we'll rewrite the story your illness has been telling about who you are. We'll also work on practical things: advocating for yourself with doctors, setting boundaries with others, and pacing yourself at work.
