You may be carrying more than most people can see.


Living with chronic illness, disability, or pain can be exhausting in ways that are hard to explain.

You may be managing symptoms, appointments, medications, paperwork, uncertainty, and the constant mental load of trying to function while not feeling well.

You may also be carrying grief, fear, frustration, loneliness, or the quiet ache of life changing in ways you didn’t choose.

And because so much of this can be invisible, others may not understand how much it takes just to get through the day.

You deserve support for all of it.

Chronic Pain and Illness can impact more than just our bodies. It can also impact:

  • Mood and mental health

  • Identity and self-esteem

  • Trust in your body

  • Relationships and intimacy

  • Ability to work or function the way you once did

  • Confidence in planning for the future

  • Guilt about needing rest or asking for help

  • Nervous system overwhelm after difficult medical experiences

  • Your relationship to disability, dependence, and changing needs

Here’s how therapy can help:

Therapy cannot erase illness or pain, but it can offer meaningful support for living with what is real. Together, we may work on:

  • Processing grief, anger, and body betrayal

  • Healing medical trauma or experiences of not being believed

  • Reducing shame around limitations, access needs, or rest

  • Navigating relationship strain and changing roles

  • Building boundaries around energy and capacity

  • Coping with uncertainty and future anxiety

  • Reconnecting with self-worth beyond productivity

  • Creating a more compassionate relationship with your body

Conditions Commonly Supported

Hi, I’m Resha.

I offer warm, relational, and body-aware therapy that honors the complexity of chronic illness and disability. I understand that healing does not always mean curing. Sometimes healing looks like grieving honestly, asking for support, honoring access needs, listening to your limits, reclaiming dignity, and building a life that includes tenderness toward yourself. We move at a pace that respects capacity, fatigue, and what your system can hold.

You don’t have to carry this alone. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, living with long-term symptoms, disabled, or simply exhausted by how much this has changed your life, therapy can be a place of support.
