I have experience working with teens to adults across a spectrum of issues, including substance use, depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, chronic illness, relationship issues, and difficult life transitions.
We feel pain in many ways; worry, anger, confusion, and sadness. Our past has taught us how to respond to these feelings. Problems start when the way we have learned to cope is no longer working for us. My goal is to help identify thoughts, emotions, and action patterns. I promote mindfulness, art therapy, mind-body connection, and cognitive behavioral change. From there, we can collaborate to work toward your goals and find a more fulfilling way to live.

I work with people who are experiencing symptoms of depression, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, substance use, ADHD, insomnia, and chronic pain.
If sadness, worry, stress, chronic pain, insomnia, and/or difficulty concentrating is holding you back from getting what you want out of life, it is time to seek help. These symptoms can sometimes slow down, or even prevent, success in school, at work, and with relationships. I can help you understand how your thought and behavior patterns may be contributing to your symptoms, and how to change them so you can feel better. Your treatment plan and your goals are up to you; you decide what you want to change and how you'd like me to help you make those changes.

For many of us, life can be tremendously challenging. And when we feel we have reached a breaking point, reaching out for help can be one of the most life altering and uplifting decisions. As a cancer survivor, and a person who has lived through and overcome adversity; I know first hand what it means to feel anxious, depressed, and unsure of where to turn.

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.
