My patients often feel like they've tried everything and still haven’t found relief. That takes a toll. My specialty as a health psychologist focuses on chronic pain management, helping people manage the severity of their pain along with the frustration, sadness, exhaustion, and grief that come along with chronic pain. When it comes to managing pain, having a therapist who specializes in pain matters. I find fulfillment in helping patients like you achieve better quality of life, achieve lasting health improvements, and reach personal goals that otherwise couldn't be met.
Through my work with Override Health (www.override.health), I use my expertise in pain neuroscience to work with my clients to make functional and behavioral changes in line with the scientific research on how to reverse pain neural pathways and train the nervous system to break the cycle of pain.
My approach draws on a range of psychological, cognitive, and behavioral treatments, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, pain neuroscience education, and mindfulness-based interventions. I can help empower you to regain control from pain, both emotionally and physically to improve your quality of life.
