A core focus of my work is supporting people living with chronic illness, pain, and disability. Living with chronic illness, chronic pain, or disability affects not only your physical experience but also your emotional life, relationships, and sense of identity.
It can be exhausting, unpredictable, and isolating, especially when others don’t fully understand what you’re navigating day to day.
You might be dealing with:
grief over changes in your body or abilities
frustration with limits or unpredictability
medical trauma or difficult healthcare experiences
isolation or feeling misunderstood
shifts in identity, roles, or relationships
pressure to “push through” or minimize your experience
All of this deserves space in therapy.
Therapy for Chronic Illness, Pain, and Disability in Washington State (Online)
How Therapy Can Help:
Therapy can help you slow down and make sense of what you’re carrying, without minimizing it or trying to push through it alone.
In our work, we may:
explore emotional impact of illness or disability
work with grief, anger, or overwhelm
support nervous system regulation and capacity
untangle relationship patterns affected by illness
reconnect with parts of yourself that feel distant or overwhelmed
This may be a good fit if you are:
living with chronic illness, pain, or disability
experiencing emotional or identity impacts from your health
navigating medical trauma or burnout
noticing effects on relationships or self-concept
