People respond with depression, anxiety, chronic pain or illness, repeated relationship or parenting issues.
Any loss can devastate you: a romantic partner leaves; you develop a serious illness; your job ends; a spouse dies; You have a miscarriage, or an empty nest, or your partner is unfaithful, or your child has serious difficulties, or you beloved pet dies or your childhood was abusive. Your responses can include: depression, anxiety, guilt or unending grief. I work with men, women, adolescents and couples who struggle to find symptom relief and greater life satisfaction. My office is a convenient and very private environment in which I spare people psychological jargon and base sessions on mutuality and respect.

Are you ready to get to know yourself better? As an LMSW and yoga instructor, I am passionate about creating a space for healing and exploring one’s self in order to move forward and live a freer life. During our time together, we will sift through feelings and actions that support you and those that do not in order to create new thought patterns and control over your life. We will create awareness around decision-making and relationships while we sit in emotions that may be influencing those dynamics.

I have several years experience treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, trauma-related disorders/PTSD, and personality disorders. I work with adults, teenagers, couples, and families.

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.
