I practice a holistic, evidence-based approach to identifying the root causes of your pain and healing those wounds at the source.
You carry a weight no one else can see. It’s been there so long, it feels like part of you. A voice inside says, “You’re not enough,” making it hard to trust, open up, or feel truly connected. You stay on edge, bracing for what might come next. Emotions shift without warning—calm one moment, overwhelmed by sadness, anger, or panic the next. You feel exhausted from holding it all together, longing for peace and stability, yet they always seem just out of reach. You want to feel safe again, to breathe deeply, and to know you are enough, just as you are.

We all have times in our lives when we need additional support. Times when we feel like stress and circumstances have taken over and we find ourselves dysregulated and out of balance. Maybe you have been trying to conceive and are dealing with the stress of fertility treatments which can affect our mood, relationships and can make us feel disconnected from our own bodies. Or perhaps you are dealing with chronic pain or ongoing health conditions such as an autoimmune disease or obesity. Many of these conditions create great burden on our emotional well being and can make us feel isolated and unworthy.

Together we can find meaning and acceptance of feelings of depression, anxiety, occupational stress, and emotional pain that we may struggle to put into words.
It can feel like the sky is falling. There is more confusion, fear, and uncertainty than ever before. This can be debilitating as we struggle to get out of bed, our work performance suffers and then we find ourselves alone and isolated not knowing how to get back to our previous “normal”. We are constantly overstimulated, told what we ought to be, as we become lost with no way to cope. Talk Therapy combined with a safe place to feel heard and understood can guide us to make sense of it all and progress to a higher state of functioning.

Chronic Pain Therapists
How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
