I went into health psychology and specifically pain psychology out of a genuine belief that pain and illness can have a profound impact on the whole person (not just the body).  I grew up in a family surrounded by pain and illness; my mother, sister, and myself all experienced chronic medical conditions with varying degrees of chronic pain

I believe that the combination of my personal and professional experiences allow me to bring a rare perspective to therapy.  My approach is warm, compassionate, and encouraging. I like to say that my personal experiences are what fuels my genuine passion and commitment to helping people cope with what their bodies throw at them, but I will never assume that I understand everything you’re going through based on my experience alone.  I believe in taking the time to get to know your unique experience with pain or illness and how it has impacted your life; I recognize that this may be very different from someone else’s experience and that’s perfectly ok.

In every therapist-client relationship I start with a thorough intake assessment or “getting to know you” session.  This helps both of us to determine your individualized goals for therapy and your life and make a plan for how we are going to achieve those goals.  I provide evidence-based therapies for chronic pain and illness with an emphasis on the modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).  Both of these approaches have a large research base to support their effectiveness; however, that does not mean that I take a one-size fits all approach to therapy. When you work with me, we are here to focus on you, your life, your needs, your challenges.  I use the evidence-based tools combined with knowledge I’ve gained from hundreds of people with pain and illness to inform my approach to treatment, but everything we do will be tailored to your experience to help you live the best life possible even with pain or illness.
