I specialize in helping individuals soothe pain, anxiety, and stress as a residual from chronic illness or injury. Those diagnosed with chronic illness / chronic pain often have anxiety and depression surrounding their illness. This can contribute to sleepless nights, shameful feelings, self-blame, fear of social situations, isolation, and anger. Within our partnership we will create a new awareness and understanding of the impact your illness has had on your quality of life and how this has created your current internal narrative.
We will work on soothing, accepting, and healing the nervous system to enable you to feel a sense of control and safety within your body. We can incorporate a simple tool-set to support lasting change and increase your quality of life while minimizing pain.
I use and promote evidence-based treatment approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MSBR), Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), along with somatic based techniques.

Groups
EMDR Intensive
Intensives are highly focused and often require less time and overall cost with months of weekly therapy packed into hours and/or days. Feel better faster – Intensives are highly concentrated and focused so that you can make faster progress and lasting change NOW! No weekly appointments needed – You don’t need to schedule your life around weekly therapy. Therapeutic Body movement – My Intensives are unique in that I have added therapeutic healing through yoga, somatic practices, and bodywork to aid in releasing traumatic stress in the body.
