Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck—trapped in cycles of using strategies that no longer serve them, yet they feel impossible to break. They are exhausted. You may feel this way. You possibly feel mentally and physically drained from constantly being in survival mode. You may be overwhelmed by emotions you feel like you can’t control, ashamed that they can’t “just handle it" or “figure it out”. You may feel disconnected from yourself and those around you.

Living with a chronic illness, navigating trauma, or working through recovery can feel overwhelming—like your mind and body are always at odds, but healing isn’t about pushing through or ignoring what you’re feeling. It’s about understanding, honoring, and working with your body and mind in a way that helps you feel more in control.

My goal is to make therapy validating, collaborative, and free of judgment.

You don’t have to explain or prove your pain (whether it’s physical or emotional) —I believe you. Our work together will focus on understanding how your chronic illness, how you feel, and mental health are connected so you can develop strategies that actually work for you.
