Do you find yourself avoiding life because you have too much anxiety? Or you’ve been having chronic pain so long that you worry life will never be different? If something hurts too much for you to engage fully in life- whether it’s feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or in chronic physical pain, it’s time to try something new. I’ve created my practice as a safe place where you can find relief from emotional and/or chronic physical pain, with a focus on anxiety, depression, grief or feeling out of control. I will help you create a plan to repair, restore and find new ways to achieve wellbeing.
I also specialize in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). This protocol retrains the brain to break the cycle of chronic pain and has been validated as “the most effective current treatment for chronic pain.” - University of Colorado Boulder study.
Whether you are facing emotional or physical difficulties, I can help you find a "way out" of the pain or anxiety cycle so you can live with renewed hope, optimism, and practical ways to manage difficult moments. I invite you to reach out for your 20 minute free consultation!
