Chronic pain or illness is a widespread phenomena, however lots of people feel as though they need to keep their experiences to themselves. Therapy can provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings about navigating life's challenges and resisting socio-cultural expectations about what your life "should" look like. Your experience is real and valid, and I work collaboratively with clients to not only explore your experiences, but to also highlight your successes and celebrate the way you do things.
