Whether they are healing a relationship, struggling with a life threatening illness, low self esteem, coping with a family member, struggling with childhood trauma, or simply getting to know themselves more fully, I introduce them to a world of options available to help them on their journey.
I am available for in person and remote therapy. The decision to enter Psychotherapy is a courageous one. When you have tried everything you can think of to feel better emotionally, but nothing quite works, it can be disheartening. Fortunately, that's where the help of a Psychotherapist can come in. With determination and commitment to the therapy process, it is never too late for anyone to change and live a happier more fulfilled life. For the past 33 years I have been in Private Practice working with clients (adults 18 and older) to do just that, change their lives. What makes me a unique psychotherapist is discussed below.

Our growth and healing holds moments and connections that impact our sense of self, and our sense of belonging and possibility. Sometimes it’s so subtle that we don't notice our growth until suddenly things feel different and you realize— you are different. Just as moments and connections help us heal—some can really hurt. In order to make sense of the pain that we’re alone with, we often turn it inward. This can leave us with even more painful beliefs about ourselves and the world. Whatever has brought you here, I want to understand. Feeling better is completely possible. Feeling MORE than better is too.

First, I invite you to learn more about me and my work by visiting my website. If you think we may be a match, we can arrange a complimentary 15-minute consultation. I offer this because I believe entering psychotherapy can be one of the most important, life-altering decisions you ever make. Your decision to go into therapy probably was not easy, and the choice of a therapist deserves even greater consideration. You must, in addition to evaluating a therapist’s training and experience, find the right person. Success depends on a good “match” requiring empathy, trust, safety, and respect, sometimes spiced with humor and playfulness.

Humans are creatures of connection. When we experience multiple events throughout our lifetime in which we do not feel safe to share our truth with others, we often close ourselves off from love and connection. What would happen if you were able to feel seen and heard? What would you say if you were given safe space to share your truth? How would your life change if you were emotionally available to hear others around you and allow them into your life? My therapeutic intention is to support you as you step into a more holistic and authentic version of yourself helping you to actualize your fullest potential.

Do you want to learn a new and healthier way of being in the world? Many people come to therapy because they are using old coping skills that helped them survive difficult experiences, but no longer serve them now that they are out of that situation. Instead of feeling shame about these anxious, fearful, or angry responses, I help patients accept those parts of themselves while also strengthening parts that seek love and growth. We’ll also explore how traumatic experiences don’t just happen at the interpersonal level, but often result from larger systems of oppression, which we can then internalize.

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.
