I have successfully worked with clients on a wide range of issues including adapting to physical illness, struggling with eating disorders, overcoming depression and anxiety, as well as those needing to reconnect with themselves.
Asking for help can be a very difficult thing to do. Many people think going to a counselor means that they're admitting that they can't handle their lives or that they've totally lost control. In fact, talking to a therapist means that you are taking your happiness into your own hands. Have feelings of depression, anxiety, guilt or fear been getting in the way of your happiness? There may have been a family, health or financial situation that led you to the place you're at right now or maybe you are just looking for more.

Therapy can be a potent means of gaining insight into many individual/family issues. It can provide a safe/non-judgmental environment where one can speak and be heard. Life is ever changing. Therefore, when life changes our natural response is to attempt to maintain control of the situation and sometimes, we get stuck in familiar roles/behaviors that no longer fit our current situation. Therapy work consists of addressing one's thought processes, feelings and behaviors, understanding inner conflicts, finding new/healthier coping skills to deal with and alleviate stress.

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.
