You are not broken. The system is.

Disability-affirmative therapy begins with a different question. Not what’s wrong with you? but what have you had to live inside of?

For many people with disabilities, distress isn’t coming from their bodies or minds. It comes from navigating systems that are inaccessible, demanding, dismissive, and often harmful. This approach takes that reality seriously.

If you have navigated the healthcare system, you know it’s not easy! 

Whether you’re wondering if you’re allowed to speak up, how you’re supposed to manage your symptoms or medication, the anxiety of preparing for appointments or procedures/surgery - not only are you not alone, you are the EXPERT on you! 

I can help you process what can be an overwhelming process - mind, body and spirit - how to find your voice to communicate with your healthcare team, family and friends and find ways to reframe and get creative to cope.

I find it important to acknowledge that your family and even close friends can also “have” your diagnosis. 

How? Why? They are on this journey with you but are experiencing it from a different vantage point. If you are having surgery, your family and friends, who are there supporting you, are also watching you navigate it and - it ain’t easy to watch someone you love going through pain. 

Your support system also needs support, though it may look a little (or a lot) different. They more they can get their own unique support, the better able they can be to support you.
