Everyone deserves care that meets them where they are, without barriers. I honor each individual’s lived experiences and complex identities while pushing back against systemic barriers that stand in the way of getting help.

You’re the expert on your body and healing—I’m just here to support the process. Too many people with chronic pain are told what they should feel or do by doctors, family, or society. In therapy, we do the opposite. I trust you to know your body, and together, we’ll find strategies that actually work for you. My goal is to help you feel empowered in your choices, not to hand you a cookie-cutter treatment plan.

Your story, experiences, and emotions matter. Pain isn’t just physical—it impacts your relationships, your sense of self, and your daily life. I take the time to truly understand who you are and what you’re going through because connection is the foundation of meaningful healing. In therapy, you won’t just be another appointment on my calendar—you’ll be heard, validated, and met with genuine care.

You’re not just a collection of symptoms. By addressing your mind, body, and spirit, we can get to the root of what you need to manage pain and care for yourself in meaningful and impactful ways. If you would like to incorporate aspects of spirituality into sessions or want to make sure we steer clear of that, please let me know.

Chronic pain is serious, but that doesn’t mean therapy has to feel like a sterile doctor’s visit. Sometimes, humor can help shift the weight of it all—because healing shouldn’t be all stress and no laughter. If you’re into dry wit, bad puns, or existential humor, you’re in good hands. And if not, don’t worry—I’ll try to keep my jokes at a tolerable level.
