We follow many paths in life in a continuous flow, yet if we hit a log jam it can be impossible to move at all. Activities of daily life become stressful, relationships tense, work, too hard. Our inner critic quickly points out flaws, and we can begin to doubt our abilities. Anxiety and depression, stop us. Then illness or pain start to come, and pushing beyond our limits leads to emotional despair or “chronic” health issues. Eventually we wonder how we got here, and how or if, we can get back to our flow, yet we don’t know where to begin. If this is you, don’t give up, or give in.
I work with people who have chronic illness and chronic pain, and I can help you learn how your emotional, mental, and physical health are intertwined. I use transpersonal and strength-based therapies to bring awareness to what underlies your experiences of illness and pain, and how you can use your strengths to build resilience, and choose your way forward.
I live with “chronicity” myself, and know how it can affect one’s emotional and mental health. I live with several chronic illness/pain conditions, yet over time, I've learned to create balance in my life, a way through the log jams, and I’m dedicated to helping you find your way through ‘your’ log jam.

Groups
Chronic Illness, Resilience, and Life! Online
Chronic illness and chronic pain have many things in common. Both are unpredictable, life changing, and often invisible. In this small group, we'll connect with like-minded people to explore how we think, feel, and talk about our conditions (to ourselves, as well as others). Time will be given for telling our stories, discovering resilience-building strategies that speak to our needs, and determining new choices we can make to create balance in our lives. Topics: chronic illness/pain, invisible disability; daily living, relationships; family life, social life; career, work transitions; new perspectives; choices; resilience!
