About My Clients
I specialize in working with adults struggling with chronic pain, persistent physical symptoms, and/or anxiety that haven't fully responded to treatment. You may sense that stress, emotions or unresolved experiences are playing a role, and you're ready to explore that connection. You're curious, introspective, and open to a mind-body approach. Parents navigating the emotional weight of caregiving are especially welcome.
My Background and Approach
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in neuroplastic pain and mind-body approaches to chronic pain and symptoms. I help adults understand the connection between their nervous system, emotions, and physical symptoms, and use that understanding to heal. My work draws on Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), two evidence-based approaches that address the brain and nervous system patterns underlying persistent pain and stress-related symptoms. I came to this work through my own recovery from chronic pain and other symptoms, which shapes how I show up, with a genuine belief in your capacity to heal, not just manage. Sessions are collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the latest neuroscience. I also bring a particular warmth for parents, whose nervous systems are often running on empty.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, support the Black Lives Matter movement, am Health at Every Size informed, and I believe in a social justice framework for therapy in these challenging times. I'm deeply committed to reducing stigma around mental health and chronic pain, and helping people understand that identifying the source of symptoms in the nervous system is not a dismissal, but an invitation toward real recovery. I care about neurodiversity-affirming care and the particular exhaustion of parenting outside the norm. As a parent myself, I know how little space caregivers are given to tend to their own well-being, and how much that matters. I value curiosity over certainty, warmth over clinical distance, and collaboration over prescription. I believe every person deserves a therapist who genuinely thinks they can get better.
