••Therapy waitlist now lifted! •• Do you live with Chronic Pain? Is dealing with pain and or the health care system exhausting and all-consuming? Are you still looking for that one thing to help with your pain? Is it hard to manage your daily activities or the demands of work, school or home? I have developed a deep understanding of the complex physical, emotional, and social factors that contribute to chronic pain. It’s what I do! I’ve been there. I have lived experience with chronic pain which is now behind me. My practice is solely virtual with clients who are residents or physically located in Ontario. There is hope!
I have a Master's in Social Work Degree with 30 years of experience working in healthcare and community settings. I have advanced training in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) - an evidence-based, mind-body and holistic approach that offers techniques that help retrain the brain to accurately interpret and respond to signals from the body.
I am committed to helping my clients navigate the challenges of Chronic Pain. I prioritize building strong relationships based on trust and empathy. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients can share their experiences without fear of judgment. I believe that everyone can live a meaningful life, even in the face of chronic pain.

My practice is trauma-informed and anchored in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). I prefer a "bottom up" approach to chronic pain, meaning feeling the feelings, using somatic tracking and leaning into positive sensations in the body, explore sensations without fear, with of course a sprinkle of "top down" education in pain science.
