I have experience providing individual counseling, family counseling, career counseling, and assisting people with adjusting to life changes such as illness and divorce.
Don't give up on healing. When people experience trauma, especially chronic trauma, they become hardwired to look for danger. Constantly living in survival mode is physically, mentally, and spiritually exhausting. You may not believe it yet but healing is possible. You can have healthy relationships. You can have peace. You can have healthy boundaries. I would like to help you learn how to actually live and not just survive. I specialize in helping women learn about how trauma affects their bodies which will allow them to better recognize and manage their trauma symptoms and move towards a path of healing.

Family Therapy is also beneficial in helping people through difficult life transitions, like divorce, step family issues, bereavement and illness.
I have seen that in difficult times couples and families get stuck, repeating the same solutions to the same problems, and nothing changes. The short-term, solution focused work I do, helps break these unproductive patterns so that new, more hopeful aspects of ourselves and our relationships can emerge. Research has shown that couple and family therapy is a most effective treatment for many problems, including depression that seem to be localized within the individual. The effectiveness of this work stems from its focus on changing aspects of relationships that trigger and reinforce the individual problems we bring to therapy.

I work with clients who know they need to make a change, but are not sure where to begin. My ideal clients desire to improve their personal and professional lives, but need help with navigating change, coping with grief and loss, building healthy relationships, creating balance, and regaining control of their own lives. It's not always so simple. Some of our problems arise from patterns of behavior stemming from past experiences that we may have forgotten, but our nervous systems have not. Our bodies hold on to pain, but also harness the power to heal. I work with people who are ready to explore and harness that power.

The focus of my work is with adult individuals and family members living with the uncertainty and challenges that can accompany life-threatening and terminal illness.
Pain seeks our attention. Emotional distress manifests or "speaks" through physical distress. Adults living with physical or emotional pain can benefit from BODY-CENTERED psychotherapy. Sessions can include BODYWORK. Dreamwork and expressive therapies can also be utilized to amplify awareness. Like dreams, body symptoms are dynamic conduits into the unconscious; likewise, they serve as messengers charged with waking us up and redirecting our energies back toward life. Clients become adept explorers, listeners & learners, moving with curiosity toward rather than away from feeling, as they befriend disenfranchised parts of themselves.

Perhaps you are looking for a fulfilling life, but you’re struggling with feeling broken or incomplete because you aren't a mother. Maybe you’re bogged down with the weight of society's pressure to have children. You crave purpose and connection with others, but maybe you struggle to express your pain. You are tired of receiving unsolicited advice and questions about your reproductive system. This leaves you wondering: Is there life beyond motherhood?

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.
