Therapy for chronic illness
Living with chronic illness can feel overwhelming, especially when combined with anxiety, trauma, and medical challenges. I specialize in helping you navigate these complexities with compassion and support.
Are you struggling with the emotional toll of chronic illness, chronic pain, medical trauma or past experiences that continue to impact your well being? As an EMDR-certified therapist, I provide compassionate, trauma-informed care to help adults navigate anxiety, PTSD, and the mental exhaustion that often accompany chronic health challenges. Through a safe and validating approach, I support clients in processing trauma, regaining a sense of control, and developing strategies for lasting emotional relief. If you have a patient who could benefit from specialized support, I’d love to connect.
Chronic Illness Therapy: What You Can Expect
Living with a chronic illness affects far more than just your body—it can impact your emotions, relationships, self-worth, and sense of identity. Therapy offers a supportive space to process those challenges and reconnect with yourself in meaningful ways.
In chronic illness therapy, you can expect:
Emotional support without judgment – A place to talk openly about grief, frustration, fear, or burnout without having to explain or minimize your experience.
Coping tools tailored to your life – Learn practical strategies to manage stress, pacing, brain fog, and flare-ups with more clarity and compassion.
Help navigating medical trauma or burnout – Whether you’ve felt dismissed by providers or exhausted by the healthcare system, therapy gives space to heal those wounds.
Support with identity and self-worth – Redefine what it means to live a meaningful, connected life—even when things look different than you expected.
Understanding the mind-body connection – We’ll explore gentle, supportive ways to help regulate your nervous system and listen to your body with curiosity instead of fear or frustration.
Compassionate, ongoing care – Therapy can be a steady source of support as you move through the ups and downs of chronic illness with more resilience and self-trust.
You don’t have to face this alone. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you—whether it’s emotional relief, acceptance, balance, or finding your way back to a life that feels more like your own.
