Counseling for Chronic Illness and Pain in Fort Worth, TX

Living with chronic illness is exhausting. You deserve support too

Living with an ongoing health condition changes how you feel, what you can do and how you relate to others. Counseling supports you emotionally while you manage the physical side.

Signs you might notice

Pain or illness has changed your work, plans or identity
You feel frustrated, sad or alone with your symptoms
Your illness is putting strain on your marriage or family
You are tired of being told to stay positive

How I can help

Counseling does not replace medical care, and it cannot make a condition go away. It can help with the grief, worry and stress that come with it, and with finding ways to live well within your limits.

We talk about what you have lost and what still matters, how to pace yourself, and how to ask for what you need from the people around you. Partners and family can join when that would help.

When to reach out

You are welcome at any stage, whether you were recently diagnosed or have lived with a condition for years.

Counseling that can help

When life feels heavy, or you are not sure what to do next, individual counseling gives you room to say what you are feeling and make sense of it. I have worked with individuals for more than 35 years.

Approaches I draw on

Practical tools for changing thoughts and habits that keep you stuck.

Making room for hard feelings while moving toward what matters to you.

Building a warmer, steadier relationship with yourself.

Paying attention to the present moment to reduce worry and low mood.
