If you've tried everything for your chronic pain, try therapy with me. Once the brain starts anticipating pain, it becomes hypervigilant and amplifies pain signals. The first one or two sessions are an assessment of your pain to determine which aspects of your pain are structural vs nervous system-related. After that, it's about helping you make friends with your own brain's fear response around pain so that your brain can feel more grounded in safety and start forming new pathways. For some of us, deeper trauma work is required to help re-regulate the nervous system. I am skilled in this area as well.

I use a variety of techniques depending what's happening with your particular body, mind, and nervous system. Those techniques are Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychoanalytic approaches.

Chronic pain can make your world feel quite small. Let me help you re-engage with life. First step is a (free) 15-minute phone call where we can touch base on your particular issue, assess fit, and talk logistics.
