Living with Marfan Syndrome: How Doré Schubert Turned Years of Medical Challenges into a Career in Mental Health - Marfan Foundation Doré Schubert was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome at age two after experiencing a dislocated lens. By age 16, she underwent her first spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis. “Still, I lived a pretty normal life and didn’t think too much about it. I did pretty much everything that everybod...

I used to feel a lot of shame around having to accommodate for my needs as someone who lives with chronic pain, but over time I learned to advocate for myself and do what I need to do to be comfortable. I encourage you to do the same. Let's be as comfortable as possible.

Starting therapy can be difficult and nerve-racking, no doubt. That's why I offer a free 15-minute consultation to test the waters and see if therapy, or me as your therapist, is a good fit. No pressure or obligations, just a conversation.
Having something steady to hold onto… even when your mind feels loud.
We often think the goal is to get rid of thoughts like:
“What if something goes wrong?”
“I’m a burden.”
But the more we fight them… the more stuck we can feel.
So instead, we slow things down.
We notice the thought, gently:
“I’m having the thought that…”
And that small shift can create just a bit of space not to make the fear disappear, but to soften how tightly it holds us.
From there, we can come back to what’s steady…
what matters, how we want to care for ourselves,
even in the middle of uncertainty.

Happy Easter 🌿🐣
This season is often associated with renewal, hope, and new beginnings. Whether Easter holds spiritual meaning for you or simply marks the arrival of spring, it can be a gentle reminder that growth is possible even after the hardest seasons.
May you find moments of rest, connection, and quiet renewal this weekend, whatever that looks like for you 💛

I started Serein Therapy because I truly understand what it means to live in a body shaped by chronic illness.
Living with Marfan syndrome has impacted every part of my life, medically, emotionally, and psychologically. I built this practice around that reality. Around the appointments, the uncertainty, the pain, the identity shifts, and the resilience it takes to keep going.
Serein Therapy is designed to meet people where they are, whether that means pacing sessions differently, making space for medical trauma, or simply not having to explain the weight of it all.

I’ve added updated insurance information to my website to help make coverage for counselling a little easier to understand.
As a CCC (Canadian Certified Counsellor), I often get questions about what insurance will cover. It's nice to see that, as of 2025, more and more insurance companies are covering CCC's; however, your employer's specific plan with the insurer must explicitly state this.
If you’re checking your benefits, here are some helpful questions you can ask your provider:
• Do I have coverage for a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)?
• What is my annual coverage amount for counselling/psychotherapy?
• Do I need a doctor’s referral?
You can find more detailed insurance information on my website! If you’re unsure, your insurance provider is always the best place to confirm your specific plan.
