About My Clients

I am passionate about helping adults who are diagnosed with chronic illness, mainly Type I Diabetes, learn how to manage burnout and fatigue. I think recovery/addiction services work is so important. Honestly chronic illness and sustained recovery take constant vigilance. Managing an illness and addiction is overwhelming and isolating. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive environment to work through negative thought patterns that keep you feeling stuck.

My Background and Approach

I often use a mindful, strength based approach when working toward management of distress and burnout from treatment of a chronic illness. During sessions, I'll help you learn ways to neutralize negative thought patterns that keep you feeling stuck and overwhelmed. I show up in session as authentically as I can. That means there will be warmth, laughter, and probably some cursing.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I truly believe that when people feel heard, seen, and cared for their healing is limitless. We're living in a time and place that isn't conducive to living and healing in holistic ways. I think it's important to show up for each other, wholly, mind and body connected, to build and support our communities. Through my own therapy, I continue to learn how to show up for myself and for others in healthy and balanced ways. While I cannot fix late stage capitalism in America, I can help you learn ways to find balance, realistic self-care practices, and safe, healthy boundaries. I am open to helping all populations and contribute to community actions when possible. If you're interested in learning more about how I can help you, reach out!
