Are you facing challenges due to chronic pain, trauma, brain injury, medical crises, or chronic health conditions? Struggling to cope with emotions and daily tasks? Imagine having a provider who understands the mind-body connection, exploring all aspects of your well-being so that you can experience the healing you deserve. I recognize the profound impact of these struggles on work, relationships, and self-care. You might feel overwhelmed or hopeless? But you don't have to navigate this journey alone. I am dedicated to guiding you through your healing journey, addressing your unique needs with a comprehensive, holistic approach.

My therapeutic approach incorporates a Biopsychosocial clinical perspective with evidence-based treatments such as CBT, ACT, DBT, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and EMDR. Additionally, I integrate health-focused approaches like Nutritional Psychiatry, pain neuroscience, Hypnosis, and Biofeedback to delve into the root causes of your challenges.

Living with chronic pain can be overwhelming; I know this firsthand as I live with RA. My experience fuels my dedication to helping you regain control over your health. Together, we can develop new coping skills, understand the mind-body connection, and address traumas affecting your well-being. If you’re ready to embark on your path, please reach out today.
