People find me when their old coping strategies stop working. If your usual strategies for handling life just…broke... you're not the only one going through that. You might have tried to OUT-PERFORM your pain. Or maybe you tried to OUT-RUN your pain. Finally, you tried to OUT-PRAY your pain. All of these strategies kind-of work a little. Thankfully. Hard work, moving and breathing, and spirituality are an important part of recovering from stress. But these strategies don’t work all the way because the mind and body combine to create a specific reaction when we’ve been through something awful.

I work with individuals, couples and groups with a wide range of clinical issues including depression, insomnia, anxiety and stress, relationship issues, trauma, grief and loss, medical health issues (adjustment to and management of chronic diagnoses, infertility, pain, prenatal and postnatal health, bariatric assessment, business & workplace concerns), and life transitions (marriage, college, retirement, parenthood etc.
I work at ARC Counseling and Wellness both online and in person. I utilize treatment approaches based upon the unique needs of each client while considering the scientific efficacy of each therapeutic intervention. My experience and training have made me sensitive to the fact that no two clients are the same and thus I approach treatment with consideration of each client's values, cultural identity, religious or spiritual beliefs, strengths, and life experiences. I endeavor to provide a supportive therapeutic environment in which clients may become empowered and move towards a greater quality of life.

At some point in each of our lives, we may believe that we are unable to feel anything else but sad, lost, hopeless, or stuck. Psychotherapy helps by allowing one to feel safe enough to explore negative feelings and beliefs that affect one's behaviors, mood, and relationships. Over the years, I have both offered & been a consumer of psychotherapy. So, I am aware of any possible fears or hesitation that you may initially have. If you are experiencing low self esteem, hopelessness, panic, loss or grief, neurodivergence (ADHD, ASD, etc), people-pleasing, chronic pain, there is help. I'm here to support you.

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.
