Life is tough- but I truly believe every individual is tougher. Having to balance the chaos of life's demands alone can be challenging enough. I am dedicated to guiding my clients to recognize their own strengths and overcome what may have once been a preconceived limitation. The art of balancing stones in nature requires patience and determination. When we lose the balance in our lives this can lead to negative symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and the list continues. The time to take care of yourself most is when you think you don't have the time. For more information visit www.stonebalancetherapy.com.

Meaningful change happens through validation and acceptance. Effective therapy requires that you be vulnerable, which takes courage. My goal is to provide you with a non-judgmental environment where you can open up. I've worked with thousands of clients and have a niche for engaging individuals in therapy. My training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is an evidence-based practice that teaches clients how to understand and manage their emotions. An emphasis is placed on accepting where you are now, while moving towards change. This reduces judgment and improves self-worth.

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.
