Chronic Illness
Long-term physical illness affects us mentally and emotionally. We want to help you adjust and improve your understanding of the complicated and challenging thoughts and feelings that accompany ongoing health issues.

Grief Counseling
Grief is a painful, deeply personal, and often overwhelming experience. Creating a supportive therapeutic environment, we learn about your unique experience and offer tools and insights that facilitate healing as you integrate loss into your life.

While caring for a loved one can be rewarding, it also tests you mentally and emotionally. We're here to validate and support the unique challenges and profound impact of the responsibilities of care-partnering.

Oncology
A cancer diagnosis can produce difficult and unpredictable emotions and may completely change the way you see yourself in the world. It can also be painful for your circle of family and friends. Fear can take hold as you are faced with the uncertainty cancer brings. Trust in one's body is no longer there. Having a compassionate, experienced, and supportive therapist to process your worry and sadness can build an important partnership as you walk through your unique experience.

Grief Counseling
Though commonly thought of as the emotional reaction to losing a loved one, grief comes in the face of any type of loss. No matter the case, the experience is deeply personal and complicated. Healing looks and feels different for everyone and there is no set timetable for grief. We will join you in your experience and support you through the pain when life keeps going. We assist in the slow integration of the loss and help in finding purpose, connection, and meaning.

Healthcare Providers
Working in healthcare, you spend your days, and sometimes nights, caring for others. This can include dealing with loss, trauma, and other serious circumstances that have a psychological effect on you. As healthcare providers, we must tend to our own mental health to ensure we show up as the best version of ourselves for our patients and clients. Finding a trusted therapist to assist in processing your experiences is extremely important. Developing strategies for self-care, both personally and professionally, can allow you to continue to be healthy emotionally and present for others in the important work you do.

By partnering with a trusted therapist, you can work through processing the difficult feelings and experiences that come with caregiving.
