Living with chronic pain is exhausting. Endless doctors appointments, procedures, and medications can leave you feeling hopeless and frustrated when the pain hasn’t changed much. Perhaps your life has changed significantly because of the pain and symptoms or maybe you are just pushing through each day and then spending any free time trying to rest and recharge to do it all again the next day. The cycle feels endless, but it CAN change. We are often so focused on finding a solution for physical pain and symptoms in the body that we forget that our brain and body are connected 100% of the time.

You can change your pain. As a cognitive behavioral therapist and trained pain reprocessing therapy practitioner, I love nothing more than teaching patients about pain and neuroscience and empowering them with evidenced based strategies to help fundamentally change their pain experience.

If you have chronic pain due to known structural or systemic reasons, or have been told that there is no known cause for your pain, I can help. Contact me to set up a free 15 minute consult to learn more and see if I might be a good fit.
