Living with a chronic illness often means facing grief, lifestyle changes, and uncertainty. Therapy provides a space where symptoms and struggles are taken seriously while exploring the emotional weight they carry. Mixed evidence-based methods are paired with tools and approaches which are adapted to your unique needs so that therapy feels both practical and supportive. Together, we’ll look at how illness impacts identity, relationships, and daily life, and build a realistic balance for the quality of life you envision.

Personal growth can include exploring how the systems we live within have shaped your life. Threats of racism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of oppression and violence are real, and this space centers your experiences and your voice. Therapy offers sanctuary for those who seek it, advocacy skills for those who can act, and space to process the impact of it all, strengthening resilience and the ability to exist fully and authentically.

Changes come whether expected or not, and finding solid ground in the midst of it all can feel overwhelming. Whether it’s starting a new job, moving to a new city, relationship shifts, or navigating health challenges, therapy offers a space to process what’s shifting, regain balance, and move forward with clarity and support.
