Do you sometimes feel hopeless in living a rich and full-filling life due to debilitating pain or illness? If so, I can assure you there are ways to still experience pleasure despite the hardships. A fundamental part of therapy involves helping you express your pain as well as find different ways of relating to it. Rather than relate to the pain in ways that interfere with your lifelong goals of happiness and growth I help you work with your pain in a different way. The models that I predominantly use for this area of focus are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy. As we connect these models to your unique experiences of pain or illness, you may discover that even though discomfort is present, it does not have to take over or disrupt the type of life that you would like to live. If you are somebody experiencing chronic pain or illness, I would be happy to work with you and devise a treatment plan that will help to distill hope for a new and improved future. Feel free to contact me, it is never too late to make positive changes in your life.
