You're living with chronic pain: migraines, nerve pain, pelvic pain, or something that still doesn't have a clean answer. And along the way, worry moved in, too: about what the pain means, whether it will get worse, whether you're doing too much (or not enough). I specialize in chronic pain and the anxiety that comes with it because they're not just separate problems that happen to coexist. Neurologically, they speak the same language: pain and worry are both your nervous system signaling "danger," and when they feed each other, the cycle can feel impossible to interrupt from the inside.
Our work together interrupts that cycle by helping your nervous system learn that more safety is available than it currently believes. This isn't mindset work or positive psychology hacks. This is working with all of you, systematically and compassionately: the body, the mind, the emotions, the identity, and the parts of you still bracing for the next flare.
I blend nervous system tools like breathwork, tapping, and somatic practices with cognitive and emotional processing, so relief becomes embodied, not just talked about. I believe healing happens in relationship, not in isolation. So if you've been carrying this alone for too long, this is where things get to change.

Therapy with me goes beyond CBT or mindset. We use evidence-based techniques like Mindfulness, Somatic Practices, Clinical Hypnosis, and nervous system education, not just to "manage" symptoms, but to support deep, embodied change. Together we'll work toward sustainable shifts in how you relate to your body, emotions, and boundaries - so your well-being feels LIVED not just learned.
