Help Adjusting To Or Coping

With A Medical Condition

Millions of people are diagnosed with chronic medical conditions every year, but the support and guidance one needs may not necessarily feel present.

Whether you were diagnosed yesterday or 10 years ago I want to help you feel more in control.

Together we can help come up with a plan that focuses on you and can include:

  • Increasing social support

  • Learning assertive communication skills to help you navigate conversations with doctors, family, friends, etc.

  • Increasing confidence

  • Setting new boundaries

  • Identifying what you value

  • Identifying activities you care about

  • Reframing and challenging negative or unhelpful thoughts

  • How to use and practice meditation or mindfulness practices

I use a blend of evidenced based methods such as, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

I am also able to provide interventions using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP).
