Adjusting to Medical Diagnoses
Adjustment to medical and neurological illness is difficult. Facing the stress and changes associated with medical problems and other life stressors (divorce, job change, returning to work) can lead people to become sad, anxious, and even do reckless things they wouldn't normally do. Also, untreated adjustment problems can turn into more severe problems later on. Through learning ways to identify, understand, and neutralize stress triggers, and gain support I help you learn how to more effectively cope with your medical illnesses and life changes.
Emotional Issues
Depression, Trauma, Caregiver Stress/Burnout, and Anxiety can be quite painful to deal with. Through the use of cognitive behavioral therapy, I help you to understand the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and learning other tools to help you on your path to recovery.
