Are you feeling a bit stuck in the daily grind, like life's just passing you by? Maybe you're finding it hard to focus, and those anxious thoughts just won't let up, making it tough to get a good night's sleep or stay present in the moment. And in your relationships, do emotionally-charged conflicts keep popping up, leaving you feeling lost when it comes to expressing yourself and putting your needs first? I get it. It's not easy to show up as your true, authentic self when feelings of guilt, shame, fear, or sadness are holding you back. But here's the thing – you don't have to do it alone.

Recovery from pain is possible. Let's start together from understanding YOUR pain and creating a path to wellness that is unique for YOU. I am fascinated by the brain and body connection and the immense possibilities that arise when we open ourselves to learning and understanding how various psychoneurobiological mechanisms work, how our environments and circumstances have shaped us and continue to do so, and how we can harness the power of that understanding towards change. Studies indicate that many chronic pain conditions are often not the result of structural causes, but of psychoneurobiological processes that can be reversed.

Accepting NEW Clients: When faced with difficult life experiences, feelings of ‘not being good enough’ or memories of painful past events, it’s not uncommon to get stuck repeating the same old patterns as a way of trying to cope. Perhaps you struggle with anxiety, low mood, over thinking, avoiding feelings or doing too much of something (e.g., electronics, substances) or too little of something (e.g., rest, exercise, connection with loved ones). Ideally, you want to feel more at ease with yourself, making choices and decisions that serve your best, authentic interests vs. those of others.
