Our journey through life has no straight lines. It is overflowing with unpredictable twists and turns. Over time, we develop chronic and automatic responses that sap our vitality and rob us of the ability to experience the positive feelings of love, joy, and pleasure. As a result, people enter therapy wanting to change something about themselves, their circumstances or their relationships. Every person, above all else, wants to give and receive love. The client is the single, most potent contributor to successful therapeutic outcome. I, therefore, tailor treatment to the needs of each individual via office or Telehealth sessions.

As we explore your story, we’ll develop a clearer understanding of the underlying issues causing your pain.
Every day feels exactly the same. Bored and dissatisfied at work. Frustrated and struggling in your relationships. Disappointed and ashamed that you haven’t reached certain milestones by this point in your life. Nothing seems to be working. You’re embarrassed to talk to friends about it because you don’t want to be a burden. And when you finally relent and try to express yourself, no one understands. You’re not happy; that much is clear. You know that something needs to change, but you have no idea what to do. You’ve considered therapy before, but you always felt like you could figure it all out on your own. Now, you’re not so sure.

Truly knowing oneself is an integral part of the lifelong journey toward self actualization. Unfortunately, stigma discourages many from taking advantage of our profession.

Feeling stuck? Experiencing social-emotional symptoms that impact your daily functioning? Depression, anxiety, social pressure, unhealthy relationship, stress, fears and etc. are all symptoms of underling issues one can experience. At times, we feel stuck in a situation, we get preoccupied with the negative symptoms we experience and we fail to give ourselves the chance to heal and understand that our symptoms exist to tell us “what’s happening now is not working.” If worked on, symptoms are temporary and serve us as alerting signals calling our attention.

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.
