It has been a privilege to work with my patients and help them discover more about themselves than they had been aware of before. This has usually resulted in significant symptom reduction and improved relationships with those who are important in their lives. Freud discovered the unconscious and its power to control our lives without us being aware of it. By helping people achieve a better understanding of these impulses in themselves, they can work with them, and use them to achieve their goals rather than being caught in endless self-destructive ways.

Before I was a nurse practitioner I was a nurse in Labor & Delivery and Mother-Baby. Before I was a nurse I was a mother with postpartum anxiety and depression. Mental health is my passion because I bring the empathy of shared experience to the table. I know how painful anxiety and depression can be, how embarrassing it might be to seek out help, how daunting the medication is, and how it feels to lose hope; to feel stuck. I do what I do because I know how effective the medications are, and how lifechanging they can be.

FAQ - Chronic Pain Psychiatrists
How does chronic pain affect mental health?
Living with chronic pain—whether due to an injury, illness, or another condition—can be an emotionally and physically debilitating experience. In addition to persistent discomfort, individuals with chronic pain often face disruptions to their routines, limitations in physical functioning, loss of independence, and challenges maintaining work or social relationships. These stressors can lead to or worsen symptoms of a variety of mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety. Because chronic pain affects both the body and the mind, many individuals benefit from not only medical treatment for their pain but also psychiatric care to support their mental and emotional well-being.

How do psychiatrists treat chronic pain?
Psychiatrists who specialize in chronic pain understand how chronic pain can impact mood, sleep, motivation, and quality of life. They often use a combination of medication and psychotherapy to help clients manage the emotional aspects of chronic pain. This may include prescribing antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, or other medication types that can also assist with sleep or pain modulation. In therapy sessions, psychiatrists may use approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns related to pain, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients cope with symptoms, and mindfulness-related techniques to help clients manage stress and improve resilience. Psychiatrists may also work collaboratively with pain specialists, primary care providers, and physical therapists to help ensure a client's care is coordinated across their different treating professionals.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in chronic pain?
Psychology Today's online directory is a useful tool for finding psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who have experience working with individuals managing chronic pain. The platform offers filters to narrow results based on areas of specialty—such as chronic pain and/or chronic illness—as well as details about therapeutic approach, insurance accepted, language preferences, and session fees. Reviewing these profiles can help individuals and families find the right mental health provider for their needs, whether seeking short-term support or ongoing care for chronic pain.
