If you have been feeling stuck in physical or emotional pain, it is important to know that you are not alone in this, and that there is support available. I understand the interconnectedness of trauma, anxiety, and chronic pain. I know that these experiences can cause anger, resentment, and hopelessness, and hinder the joy and quality of life.

I work with people who have chronic illness and chronic pain, and I can help you learn how your emotional, mental, and physical health are intertwined.
We follow many paths in life in a continuous flow, yet if we hit a log jam it can be impossible to move at all. Activities of daily life become stressful, relationships tense, work, too hard. Our inner critic quickly points out flaws, and we can begin to doubt our abilities. Anxiety and depression, stop us. Then illness or pain start to come, and pushing beyond our limits leads to emotional despair or “chronic” health issues. Eventually we wonder how we got here, and how or if, we can get back to our flow, yet we don’t know where to begin. If this is you, don’t give up, or give in.

I would be honored to serve as a spelunking guide and enter into the depths of your pain with you so that you may have a therapeutic comrade, learn the skills to navigate the dark caves of suffering, heal your most wounded parts, and discover not only what in life is worth living for but also how to keep going when it feels like there's no way out.
One’s mental health journey is like spelunking- the exploration of caves. Sometimes we find ourselves in the dark depths of suffering, be it through trauma, shame, depression, grief, or just this whole being alive thing. Healing our psychological pain is like finding our way out of the caves. It can be a beautiful, rewarding journey, but it can often lead us to feel lost, scared, and hopeless. Finding our way back to the light is possible, and so often, it is within the journey itself that we find our way out of the darkness. It can be difficult to navigate the depths alone, and I fiercely believe as humans, we're not meant to.

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.
