Deadlines, conflict, mounting responsibilities, stress - if something's been causing such discomfort and distress that it's been hard to show up, let's talk about it. I leverage evidence-based practices and focus on helping people manage high stress and anxiety as well as chronic pain and illness. Despite these things seeming different, their impact on your functioning can be pretty similar, and I can help you work through them.
Our thoughts, emotions, and physical condition are all interrelated. An injury to one domain will quickly and persistently impact the others. The end result is what seems to be a singular cause for a decline in functioning, whether at work, at home, or in your community. "It's the anxiety/stress/injury/disease. That's why I'm like this."
But the reality is, what is behind that decline in functioning is the impact your experiences are having on each of your thoughts, emotions, and physical condition. Together, we can parse these components out, understand what's going on, and figure out a path forward. If this sounds like what you need, please feel free to reach out.

My practice focuses on helping individuals manage stress, chronic pain, and other issues that impact their lives at work and at home. Our first several sessions will focus on learning as much as we can about you, your history, and what's happening now.
