This isn’t open-ended talk therapy. I specialize in working with people who are dealing with the physical and emotional toll of chronic pain, burnout, or illness. My approach is structured, goal-oriented, and grounded in evidence-based techniques — including CBT, pain neuroscience education, and mind-body strategies. We’ll focus on helping you regain clarity, energy, and function — not just insight.

Not unless it feels relevant or helpful. While we may explore patterns or reactions shaped by past experiences, the focus is on what’s getting in the way now — and how to move forward. Sessions are centered around building skills, tracking what helps, and making practical changes in your daily life.

If you’re not sure where you fit—that’s okay. You’re still welcome here.

Many clients begin to notice changes within a few sessions, especially when we focus on specific goals like reducing pain-related stress, improving sleep, or getting back to activities. You’re not signing up for years of therapy. Some people benefit from 6–10 sessions; others choose to stay longer for ongoing support. We’ll check in regularly and make sure that what we’re doing is working for you.

No — this is designed to complement your existing care. I often work alongside providers like physical therapists, pain specialists, and primary care teams. My role is to help you address the mental and behavioral side of pain, which can increase the effectiveness of your physical treatments overall—and help you feel more in control.

Great question. Therapy for chronic pain, illness, or emotional burnout can absolutely work online—and it often gives clients more flexibility and comfort. We’ll use simple, accessible tools (read: you don’t need to be tech-savvy), and I’ll guide you through techniques designed to work from wherever you are.
