Support Group
I run support groups for folks diagnosed with a chronic illness. The virtual support group runs weekly for 6 weeks (90-minute sessions).
Living with a chronic illness is tough—but feeling isolated makes it even harder. It’s frustrating when others don’t understand what you’re going through, whether it’s hearing, “But you don’t look sick,” struggling with daily limitations, or fighting insurance for essential care. This group offers a space where you don’t have to explain—you’ll be surrounded by people who get it.
Together, we’ll explore:
✅ The emotional impact of chronic illness
✅ How your diagnosis affects relationships and career
✅ Self-advocacy in the healthcare system
✅ Deepening self-compassion
✅ Reframing your identity beyond your illness
What You’ll Gain
Connection & Understanding – Share your experiences in a safe space with people who truly relate.
Emotional Support – Express your frustrations, fears, and hopes in a community that validates your feelings.
Empowerment – Feel seen, heard, and supported as we navigate challenges together.
You don’t have to do this alone.

Group Focus & Benefits
This group is for individuals diagnosed with chronic medical conditions, such as autoimmune disorders, organ transplant needs, diabetes, colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and more. While each diagnosis is unique, members share common experiences, including managing doctors, balancing medical needs with their careers and personal goals, treatments, side effects, and the uncertainties of living with chronic illness.
Closed Group Format & Secure Platform This is a closed group, meaning no new members can join once it begins, ensuring a consistent dynamic throughout the 6-week cycle. Confidentiality is a key commitment for all members. Sessions are hosted on SimplePractice, a HIPAA-secure platform, allowing you to join via computer or the SimplePractice mobile app from anywhere, regardless of physical capacity or location.
The Support Group Waitlist
I limit the number of people in each group so we can have deeper connection and sense of safety. Let me know you’re interested, and I’ll be in touch as soon as the next group is available!
