Maybe you are exhausted from explaining your limitations to people who “mean well.” Perhaps you have caught yourself mourning the life you had planned, or you feel guilty for canceling plans again. You might be navigating new relationship dynamics, dealing with work accommodations, or struggling with the unpredictability of good days and bad days. When your illness starts defining your identity more than you would like, it is time to reclaim your narrative.

We will focus on the emotional and psychological adaptation to chronic illness, not the medical management. You will learn to distinguish between what you can and cannot control, and develop strategies for both. For example, we might work on: “What does a good day look like now, and how can you create more of them?” I will help you build a life that works with your condition, not despite it.
