As someone who has an immune disorder and rheumatoid arthritis and studied neuropsychology I can teach you coping mechanisms through somatic therapy and using mind over matter.
Living with chronic pain or illness can take a toll on your daily life. I have extensive experience working with clients who suffer from chronic illness (i.e. cancer or arthritis) or pain, including injuries from motor-vehicle accidents or the workplace. Together as a team, we will work to manage pain and stress levels, practice mindfulness and develop healthy coping tools. For further information, please feel free to contact me and receive a prompt reply.
Chronic pain or illness is a widespread phenomena, however lots of people feel as though they need to keep their experiences to themselves. Therapy can provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings about navigating life's challenges and resisting socio-cultural expectations about what your life "should" look like. Your experience is real and valid, and I work collaboratively with clients to not only explore your experiences, but to also highlight your successes and celebrate the way you do things. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.
I specialize in helping individuals manage and cope with chronic pain or illness, using integrative techniques to alleviate physical discomfort and enhance emotional resilience. My approach focuses on the mind-body connection, providing holistic support to improve your overall quality of life. Let's work together to navigate your journey towards better health and well-being.

Are you feeling stressed? Is a life situation, a partner or work making you feeling anxious or depressed? Have you lost a loved one and hurting? These are common experiences in life. It's tough to go through these experiences however you can learn to be happy again.
Adjusting to new limitations can be difficult. A change in health, whether sudden or gradual, can be disorienting and frustrating. There can be so much grief tied up in changes to our health. No longer having the ability to do the activities we enjoy and having to change our plans for the future are just two of the many ways grief can impact our ability to adjust to chronic pain or illness. I work with people who are experiencing chronic pain, disability, or illness and the caregivers who support them to continue to live meaningful, connected lives.
