Living with Epilepsy

Living with Epilepsy comes with a unique set of challenges beyond the physical seizures which often do not get addressed. Epilepsy is associated with a higher prevalence of depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders, and people often experience loneliness, shame, frustration, and fear at increased rates as well. Learning to communicate clearly and carefully with schools, employers, friends, or dating partners can be daunting and bring up difficult emotions. Even with effective medication, breakthrough seizures too often disrupt a person's life, causing things to feel disappointing and unstable. Based on years of clinical practice as well as personal experience with Epilepsy, I help my clients navigate the social and psychological challenges of their medical condition in order to live their best life.
