Biography

I'm Stacy -- a psychotherapist, coach, lifelong adventurer, and multiple autoimmune Thriver, committed to helping individuals, couples, and caregivers cope with the challenges of living with chronic conditions, pain, and acute injuries. If you've found me, it's likely you've been struggling with the overwhelm and burnout that comes with managing a chronic condition, living with persistent pain, or adjusting to life post-injury. Maybe you've found some coping strategies, but you still don't feel like yourself. Perhaps you're new on this journey and feeling a little lost. We often don't talk enough about the loss of self, confusion, Hopelessness, grief, anxiety, stigma, isolation, and loneliness that can follow a diagnosis. I'm here to make space for that. In our work together, we'll explored the full spectrum of physical, mental, emotional, and social impacts of living with a chronic condition, life changing injury, or chronic pain. Whether you are the person with the condition, their caregiver, or a partner supporting them, we'll navigate this journey together. As we process your experience, my hope is that we will uncover not only new coping strategies, but a new self centered in what is most meaningful to you. Drawing on my expertise and specialized knowledge--shaped by years of working with people like you and enriched by training specific to chronic illness, pain, injury rehabilitation, and health-related concerns---I will work with you to regain a sense of control, improve your overall quality of life, and reconnect with the activities you find most meaningful and fulfilling. As a therapist with a deep understanding of the mental health complexities associated with chronic conditions, pain, and caregiver burnout, I'm not here to offer a temporary fix or a standard set of coping techniques. Instead, we will work together to safely and compassionately explore the nuanced challenges of living with chronic illness, advocate for the support you need to manage your condition, and guide you back to a life you truly cherish.
