About the host
I grew up in the Hudson Valley in New York, loving hiking and being out in nature. It was 25 years ago when I became sick with Lyme disease. I have had ongoing symptoms from Lyme disease, and have recently had complications from Covid. I am also the parent of a child with a chronic condition. My personal experiences and work as a healthcare professional have added to my passion to be a greater advocate for families and individuals with chronic conditions. I am grateful for this opportunity to join The Center for Chronic Illness as an MSW to support the chronic illness community.

The Center for Chronic Illness (CCI) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization promoting well-being and decreasing isolation for those impacted by ongoing health challenges through support and education. CCI offers free, peer support groups facilitated by licensed mental health professionals and Master's level mental health interns. CCI's programs are designed to bring people together who live with different types of health challenges and diagnoses, recognizing the shared emotional experience of many who are impacted by chronic illness. Please note, because we are a Seattle-based organization, all support groups are scheduled on Pacific Standard Time (PST).
