Seeking help can be a very overwhelming and humbling experience. But it is also a step toward the dignity and self-respect that come from facing, head on, your pain and suffering. Therapy is a lot like learning to hold your hand over a hot flame. Left to our own devices, we wince and turn away. This is why finding a good match, someone you can trust, is essential. And this is why I consider it a privilege to do this work.

Research based modalities include cbt, ipt, dbt, and act, to aid in adaptive and healing responses to emotional pain.
As a clinical psychologist, I believe that knowledge, awareness, and insight are the cornerstones of therapy. By helping increase emotional awareness and identifying their related thoughts and behaviors, I facilitate understanding of causes and triggers for anxiety, depression, and interpersonal conflict. An appreciation of each individual's unique background and encounters is crucial in comprehending how one relates to new information and experiences. I tailor empirically supported treatment to address emotional distress, and believe we are all active participants in our health and wellness. With the correct tools and insight, we can lead emotionally healthy, successful, and meaningful lives.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults in addressing issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, and other identity-related life transitions such as relocation, changes in relationships, and professional development.
Often time, people begin psychotherapy as a result of feeling disconnected from themselves or the world. When overwhelmed by life, you may notice feeling drained, disconnected, dissatisfied with your relationships, and at times physically unwell. In therapy, I create a safe space to explore past, present, and future struggles and work towards goals in order to live a more insightful, balanced, fulfilled life.

Life can be difficult at times. For many of us protecting ourselves from knowing our suffering can take the form of troubling emotional symptoms, self-destructiveness as well as anxieties and inhibitions. Yet it is precisely these symptoms we must take the time to listen to as messages communicating something essential and understandable about our suffering, fears, and wishes - the emotional meanings of our personal history. By listening to you closely and carefully, we will explore together thoughts and feelings that were previously unknown to you yet powerfully affect your life. Talking changes the way things look.

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.

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.
