Being diagnosed with a chronic illness can create a great deal of anxiety about the future. Will I be able to keep working? Will my family and friends truly understand? Will I be able to afford treatment? Will I be able to plan for my future? You may be experiencing feelings of sadness, anger, and anxiety. You may even feel a sense of loss in terms of the person you feel you once were. There may be new limitations and challenges regarding your physical or cognitive abilities. I am here to help!
I have a person centered approach to treatment that incorporates, cognitive behavioral therapy , problem solving skills, and addresses grief and loss by restoring hope for the future. Together we will work to create realistic goals and solutions for your personal situation.
In addition to my work with clients with chronic illness, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2005. I realized that gaining as much knowledge as possible about my condition, discussing fears about the future, and problem solving with a mental health professional were some of the best ways to regain control of my life.
