Our brains our powerful and unique, but often store unfinished business and unprocessed trauma which leaves emotional scars inside or even physical pain.
Although I have experience and enjoy working with all individuals, my specialty is working with children using Play Therapy. As a Registered Play Therapist, I am able to use children's natural ability to play to help build a trusting relationship and improve emotional and behavioral well-being.

At times we find ourselves on a path we just do not want to be on any longer. Sometimes we do not know how we got there or how to get back on track. Support and guidance back to the path that leads to happiness, joy, fulfillment is sometimes what we need.

For many years, my clients have primarily been individuals, groups, and families coming out of abusive and sometimes violent relationships and addiction. Although that was the original primary focus, most also struggled with accompanying factors like depression, anxiety, and other serious mental health diagnoses. My clinical focus has recently shifted to a more community-based population, and I have found this work incredibly rewarding. I enjoy working with additional needs such as grief, prenatal and postpartum depression, and abandonment trauma, to name a few.

Your story is unique, and you deserve a therapist who will honor your experience. You’ve likely had painful, tough experiences, and you've probably tried to forget them. But no matter how hard you try, they keeps coming back up- in your brain, in your body, in your relationships. Hard things will be thrown our way, that's a fact of life, but what has happened doesn’t have to weigh you down any longer. Part of being human is having struggles, but part of being human is overcoming those struggles and finding joy and freedom again. I want to help YOU find that freedom!

My ideal client may feel emotionally disconnected, unsure how to express what they're going through, or concerned about changes in memory, identity, or role. They may be a veteran, an aging adult, or a caregiver facing loss, stress, or complex trauma. They want clarity, stability, and a sense of emotional direction. They’re ready to better understand themselves and develop tools that actually help, because they’re tired of just “coping” and want a path forward that feels grounded, supported, and real.

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.
