Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
For individuals with invisible chronic illnesses, hiding your pain all the time becomes exhausting. With a chronic health issue, you don’t get to choose when you’re in pain and when you’re not, and as such, I keep my cancellation policy flexible so that I can best support you. There is often a great deal of shame surrounding chronic illness, and significant stigma as well, both from the medical community and society at large. This can lead to depression and anxiety, both medical anxiety and social anxiety. I want to work with you to ensure that your chronic illness does not completely shape your mental health. As someone who suffers from a chronic pain condition, I am understanding and aware of the unique challenges that diagnoses such as fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos, Dysautonomia, arthritis, and cancer have on an individual’s personal, romantic, and professional life. My goal is to help each patient understand and accept these diagnoses and work together to manage both the physical symptoms as well as the mental turmoil that can occur while trying to live life in an able-bodied world.

Conditions vary from physical pain due to injury, arthritis, and other chronic diseases and have
developed healing approaches to Cancer, Heart Disease, Asthma, COPD, and other serious
conditions.
My work involving imagery developed by Carl Simington, MD has been effective in prolonging life with Cancer. Dr. Simington is respected in traditional cancer circles, such as at NIH. The pioneering work of Helen Bonny, Ph.D. has greatly influenced my approach to the healing of disease as well as working with chronic pain.
