Living with illness can affect so much more than your physical health. Chronic pain, fatigue, changing abilities, and the uncertainty that can come with illness can bring anxiety, grief, anger, exhaustion, or a sense of losing parts of the life you once knew.

​

Illness can also change how you see yourself and can affect your relationships, work, hobbies, and sense of what’s possible. Frequent appointments, hospitalizations, and difficult medical experiences can add another layer of stress and trauma. It’s okay to grieve those changes while also finding ways to build a life that feels meaningful now.

​

With seven years of experience in medical social work, I understand the realities of navigating the healthcare system and have supported people through diagnosis, crisis, relapse, hospitalization, chronic illness, and end-of-life care. I can help you process what you’re experiencing, adjust to changes in your life, and find ways to care for yourself while living with pain, fatigue, and uncertainty.

​

Together, we can make space for both the hard parts and the possibility of finding meaning, self-acceptance, and a sense of yourself again.
