I view my clients as fellow human beings in search of some type of change. For one reason or another, they feel stuck or unable to get where they want. Together we work towards growth by identifying the issues involved, establishing hopes and goals, and increasing awareness of recurring patterns that maintain dysfunction. I find that often these patterns were somehow adaptive, but are now "outdated" for life's current situation. As awareness of one's desires, perceptions, fears, and strengths increase, doors often begin to open. There are more options and more opportunities for change and connection with others.

I help ambitious over-achievers pick themselves back up after life has drop kicked them to the ground. My clients struggle like you do. Despite being driven, adaptable, and as likable as a floppy puppy, life is hard. When they first come in, they feel frustrated that they can't keep up with their own standards when they used to set the curve. They've gone from being everyone's go-to person to feeling like a burden and they wonder if they'll be able to do it on their own. The idea of even asking for help is too embarrassing to consider.

If you are living with chronic pain or a chronic illness, you’re probably frustrated by trying to explain the hard parts to other people in your life that just don’t get it, the ones who make you feel like “it’s all in your head”. I’m here to tell you that it’s not in your head…it’s real, and it can have a really big impact on your life. You might miss the way things were before your pain or illness; you might not even feel like the same person anymore. I know, because I've lived it. The sadness, loneliness, and constant worry that comes along with managing pain and illness is real, but it doesn’t have to be permanent.

Do you get overwhelmed and then shut down just to manage the depression or fear? Do you obsess about situations that make you anxious, or instead avoid them altogether? You want to be fully present but you’re in your head most of the time, thinking about your worries, the pain from your past or the mood swings you just can’t seem to control. You pray to God begging for help but feel alone in your struggle for emotional wellness. But it is hard to experience peace when you have depression, bipolar, anxiety, OCD or trauma. Maybe you have more than one of these conditions. I’m good at handling several of these at one time.

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.
