Relational and flexible therapy for people whose bodies and brains have been misunderstood, dismissed, or disbelieved

Connect and grow with a therapist with lived experience.

It can be so hard living in a mind and body that’s unpredictable.

When you go to bed at night, you wonder how you are going to feel the next morning.

  • Will you wake up and immediately start bargaining with your body?

  • Will you have to choose between your health and your responsibilities—again?

  • Will you intend to start your morning routine and somehow end up doing everything except that because of pain or a seizure?

  • Will you have to translate yourself again—your needs, your reactions, your way of being—into something more “acceptable?”

You wake up and still try. You push through, put on your mask, and hold it together…even when getting dressed feels like too much, when your brain won't load, or when you've already spent everything you had just getting out of bed. The shame creeps in before the day has even started. Why is this so hard? Why can't I just function? Everyone else seems to move through their days so much easier.

Therapy for Epilepsy

Living with Epilepsy is like walking on a tightrope, day after day. For some, the triggers for their seizures may be well known; while for others they are random and unexpected. 

Sometimes it’s not even about the seizure at all. Individuals with Epilepsy often feel misunderstood and isolated. And many suffer from depression, anxiety, and severe mental illness. The disorder itself is highly stigmatized, but the very nature of Epilepsy can cause major lifestyle limitations; transportation, swimming, concerts, some jobs, ect. The treatment is complicated and sometimes very much ineffective as the brain itself is still very much a mystery. Even family members struggle with how to support individuals with epilepsy as sometimes the seizures can be overwhelming. And trying to make our family members undarstand is a whole other problem.

As a person living with Epilepsy, I understand the battle of the everyday, the secrecy behind it, and the strive for independence. Not to mention the anger you feel when you get asked “how do you feel?” or “did you take your pills?” for the fourth time in one day.

Let’s work together to use that awesome brain of yours to work with you and not against you.
