Do you suffer from physical or emotional pain? Have you been told, "Learn to live with it"? I have shown thousands of clients how to live without it. Experienced in psychotherapy, NLP and hypnotherapy, I mainly use "energy psychology" techniques that balance body energy and eliminate emotional and even physical pain. I am very skilled with phobias (often resolved in one session), stress and anxiety, traumatic memories and PTSD. Grief and mild/moderate depression are gently resolved. And many of my chronic pain patients (back pain, fibromyalgia, etc.) have reduced or eliminated their pain medications.

Welcome! Thanks for visiting my page. The idea of counseling can be scary no matter what our age and this is a huge step. Finding the right “fit” can be critical for your success in counseling.

I use humor to normalize symptoms of stress and provide a warm comfortable environment to let go and take new supported risks.

Sometimes, one of the most difficult things for you to do is to find purpose and value in your life when there are so many demands that may pull you in the other direction. In today's world, there is so much involved in keeping everything balanced in a way that meets your needs as well as keeping focused on the things that you value most. Living a valued life is important, but often times it is easy to get side-tracked. Like that saying from John Lennon, "Life happens while you're busy making other plans," we can lose clarity in what means the most to us and we can often end up feeling lost and unsure of how to get back on track.

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.
