It has been my pleasure to give support to patients living with chronic pain and chronic health conditions or with substance use disorders who desire to increase their quality of life.
Since 2021 I have specialized in supporting patients living with chronic pain. Studies show that a combo of CBT and mind body therapies can be used to reduce the experience of pain and improve quality of life. I have found this to be very effective.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mind body therapies. We will explore how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience and practice relaxation exercises. I'll help you learn how to better manage your thoughts to change your feelings for the better and how to relax the mind and body to reduce the experience of pain for improvement in quality of life.
