Receiving a new diagnosis—whether medical, neurological, or mental health-related—can be overwhelming. You may feel relief in finally having answers, but also uncertainty, fear, or grief about what this means for your future. A diagnosis can shape the way you see and understand yourself, affecting not just your physical health but also your identity, relationships, and emotional well-being.

​

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in medical and rehabilitation settings, supporting individuals and families as they processed life-changing diagnoses. I saw firsthand how the language, implications, and emotional weight of a diagnosis can reshape experiences—not just for the individual but for their loved ones as well. I worked with people adjusting to a range of conditions, including those facing chronic illnesses, progressive neurological conditions like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, and sudden medical events such as strokes or brain injuries. Whether it was adapting to physical limitations, managing cognitive or emotional changes, or redefining one’s sense of self, I supported individuals and families through the complexities of this transition.

​

Now, as a therapist, I offer a space to explore these changes at your own pace. Together, we can work through the emotional impact of a diagnosis, unpacking its meaning for you, and finding a way forward that aligns with your values, strengths, and needs. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
