Chronic pain and/or illness are often rooted in our personal or family traumas. Trauma is held in our bodies. The mind-body connection converts our thoughts, emotions, feelings and body sensations into chemicals that can increase or decrease emotional and physical pain. Therapeutic interventions help our brains to learn new ways to reorganize synaptic connections resulting in lessening or releasing symptoms from physical and emotional pain and/or illness. EMDR and other evidence-based modalities integrative therapies are used.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
I worked to meet the needs of people with HIV before medical therapies made it a chronic (rather than terminal) illness. Depending on the nature of the clients' pain, I may refer to and work collaboratively with their other health providers to address the holistic related needs.
