Asking for help is one of the strongest things you can do, but it can also be one of the hardest because of past experience of not being heard, believed, or supported. Extreme stressors, life transitions, and traumatic events - including new or ongoing health conditions - affect every aspect of our lives and can make relationships - with family, friends, colleagues, and even healthcare providers - very challenging. The impact of these events can make us feel isolated, misunderstood, and unsupported (even by the well-intentioned). They can also lead us to make choices we aren't proud of and limit our enjoyment of life in general.
My practice is dedicated to working with young adults-older adults who are living with stress related to life transitions, complex chronic illness (including Parkinson's, Movement Disorders, TBI, Stroke, Epilepsy, MS, ADHD, and other neurological conditions), as well as with caregivers, medical providers, and allied professionals who serve these populations.
I believe in working with every client as a whole person not just as a collection of symptoms. My approach is compassionate and collaborative. Together we will create a safe and healing space to grow skills, help you create a new normal, and gradually process your lived experiences to achieve a life that feels more balanced, peaceful, and sustainable.
