Together, we will discover meaning and hope that transforms your pain into perseverance.
Your life has brought you to this moment. Uncertain if this is where you are supposed to be, if these feelings will last forever. Struggling with anxiety, you feel hopeless and overwhelmed. Life is not how you pictured it, but you just can’t seem to change the frame. You’ve spent hours, even days searching for answers, someone or something to help understand and resolve pain and grief. Today, you find yourself unable to cope with even the small things. Waking up tired, dragging throughout the day, lying awake at night. Restless, agitated, utterly exhausted. Trauma has you stuck in this chapter, and now is the time to turn the page.

People are complex and life is complicated - sometimes we can manage alone and sometimes we need additional support. I'm here for those times that lean towards support. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or even bored with your current situation. You may have an urgent concern and insufficient tools to deal with it. Or, you might not be quite so sure what the problem is exactly, but know something isn't right in your core or spirit. You are probably seeking to change your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, or beliefs in some meaningful way. By being here and looking for a therapist in the first place, you're taking a brave first step.

Most couples don't get married thinking they will need to see a couples therapist. Maybe your relationship isn't following the course you had planned or imagined & you are experiencing a roller coaster of emotions, feeling: frustrated, helpless, hopeless, angry, sad, anxious, resentful guilty, shame or maybe you are numb. Maybe you are wishing your partner would HEAR you, UNDERSTAND you & CHANGE! Maybe there has been an emotional or physical infidelity in your relationship. Most couples therapy clients come to therapy sad because the relationship was so good in the beginning & feel as if they can't communicate anymore.

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.
