Chronic Illness Therapy for Body and Mind

As a trauma-informed therapist, I support individuals navigating the mental and emotional weight of chronic illness

I understand firsthand how difficult and isolating living with a chronic illness can be.

Family members and friends can’t understand, and doctors often dismiss symptoms when labs are “optimal.” Chronic illness isn’t just about physical symptoms that impact our quality of life,

but also the emotional overwhelm of adjusting to new limitations in invalidating environments.

I work with clients experiencing chronic fatigue, long COVID, or autoimmune illness.

I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to help those struggling with chronic illness process these overwhelming emotions and cope with the loss of a pre-diagnosis life in the hopes of gaining a better understanding of a post-diagnosis identity. Together, we explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that impact symptom development. With this understanding, we can work towards increasing balance and an improved quality of life.

Virtual Therapy for Chronic Illness in California and Idaho

I offer online therapy sessions for individuals living in California and Idaho. Whether you’re navigating chronic fatigue, long COVID, autoimmune illness, or another invisible condition, you deserve care that meets you where you are—emotionally, physically, and geographically.

My approach centers compassion, curiosity, and sustainable pacing. There is no pressure to “get better” in a linear way. Instead, we focus on building resilience, reducing overwhelm, and helping you feel more at home in your body—even when symptoms persist.

A Somatic and Trauma-Informed Approach to Chronic Illness

Living with chronic illness often means being stuck in survival mode. Many clients come to me feeling disconnected from their bodies, frustrated by flare-ups, and unsure how to move forward when nothing seems to “fix” what’s happening. That’s where somatic therapy and parts work can be incredibly supportive.

Our work together focuses on gently reconnecting with your body, uncovering the emotional layers beneath chronic symptoms, and honoring the wisdom your system is holding. We’ll explore how early experiences, trauma, and the nervous system may be influencing how your body is functioning now—not as blame, but as a path to healing.
