Description of Practice:
I enjoy working with a multi-disciplinary team. I utilize cognitive-behavioral strategies to encourage self-management of physical and emotional symptoms. I teach clients skills in managing depression and anxiety, utilizing relaxation techniques, and working through grief/loss and trauma issues. I normalize clients' psychological distress and adjustment issues in dealing with chronic pain. As a result, most clients become less defensive and more able to engage in the process of working through these issues. They become more empowered to take responsibility for their condition and utilize active strategies for self care, as well as more fully participating in other treatments, such as medical, physical therapy, and complementary approaches.
