It can help people: - Stop smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, anxiety, and panic, overcome phobias, reduce pain, eliminate "bad" habits, build self-confidence, improve sports performance, increase motivation, improve concentration, study habits and memory and prepare mentally for surgery.
My therapeutic philosophy is dedicated to helping individuals achieve maximum emotional and physical well-being through personal mastery. My focus is both preventative and remedial. I teach body self-regulation to reduce stress, control autonomic functions, eliminate self-defeating thoughts, behaviors, and habits, and enhance communication and coping skills. I use three main modalities - Biofeedback, Hypnosis, and Psychotherapy. These may be used independently or in conjunction with each other, according to individual needs. I work with children, teenagers and adults.

Are you or someone you love struggling with addictions? You have tried everything you can but nothing has worked and you don’t know what else to do or where to turn. You have said "this is the last time" so many times its getting harder to believe you can actually change. Your relationships and performance at work are falling apart but you feel powerless to stop yourself. If this is true for you or someone you love, then it is crucial to know that there is hope and change is possible for you and the people you love.

Welcome! I believe that counseling is an exploration of our personal lives, and can lead to a discovery of the best versions of ourselves. I believe that a therapist should be there as an empathic person who can assist you in understanding why you are currently "stuck" and help you explore your options for a more comfortable life. Typically, when we are in a place where we feel emotionally paralyzed, we are stuck feeling helpless. The hope is that utilizing therapy can help you get "your voice back" and feel empowered again.

My view on successful psychotherapy is that it provokes insight, motivation and productivity for you, not only in session but out in life. Together we create a purely confidential, client-focused relationship to distinguish your desired outcomes. Then, using a blend of mind-body and cognitive-behavioral techniques, we explore your thoughts and how they shape the way you feel and behave. We also develop new patterns of thought and behaviors to create the way you want your life to be. Lifestyle behaviors such as diet, exercise, self-care and social interaction also come into play as they shape the whole person.

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.
