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.
Does your pain come in your way to a life of quality? Does it frustrate you by impacting your daily functioning? In therapy, you can learn to manage your pain versus it managing you. Reach out to learn strategies to tame your pain.
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.
Chronic Pain or physical illnnesses often have a psychological impact as well. Working with the mind body approach learning how emotions impact physical illnesses and vice versa. Being curious of why the pain or illness is present and your relationship to it. Relaxation techniques are especially important in implementing in everyday routines.

Chronic pain illness unveils a profound interconnection between physical suffering and emotional wounds. Anxiety can be intensified and prolonged by unresolved attachment problems and earlier traumas, which have their roots in the complex web of early relationships. Like echoes from the past, these emotional scars manifest in the body, weaving a tangled web of discomfort and distress. Therapy becomes a sanctuary for exploring the hidden depths of pain, unraveling the intertwined threads of attachment dynamics and trauma history. By nurturing compassionate connections and addressing the underlying emotional triggers, individuals can begin to untangle the knots of chronic pain, reclaiming a sense of empowerment and resilience in their journey towards healing.
Chronic Pain can turn your life upside down. It can make you feel helpless and alone, like you have lost everything and that your life is over. What if there was another way? What if we told you that your life may never be the same but that you could still have a full life? Would you take this chance?
I've worked with people in the aftermath of motor vehicle accidents which can upend a person's life in an instant. I draw on my experience with illness and blend this with compassion and knowledge of coping strategies. It can be hard to do it alone, let me help.
