Finding just one person who understands the realities of chronic illness can be life-changing. It has been for me. I can be that person for you.

 

From simply talking (unfiltered, real talk!) about the emotions and isolation related to chronic illness, to navigating medical and mental health routines, medicine regimens and side effects, to doctor visits, hospital stays and symptom tracking, to communicating with family, friends and employers, to partner dynamics, to near and long term planning, and most importantly -- how to create happiness in the midst of very real grief and loss of control... we can talk about it all. 

 

I've got lots of tips from years of living with advanced lung disease (along with personal stories, what has helped me, and a sincere desire to sit with you in the balancing act of hopelessness and hopefulness) -- all while continuing to learn how the heck to do this life, one day at a time. I'm certain I'll learn from you, too.

 

I'm here for you.
