Therapy for Chronic Pain and Illness in Brooklyn and Across NY, NJ & NC

Supporting Your Whole Self — Body, Mind & Spirit

Living with chronic pain or a chronic illness can be exhausting — not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well.

Let's work together to equip you with skills that help you adapt to your situation and live a fulfilling and vibrant life. 

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

These conditions often extend beyond the body, impacting your daily routines, relationships, work, and overall quality of life.
You might look okay to others — still showing up at work, parenting, or holding it all together. But inside, you’re navigating discomfort, unpredictability, and the quiet grief of a body that won’t cooperate. You’re tired — not just from symptoms, but from having to constantly explain, adapt, and endure.

Therapy offers a space to tend to more than just symptoms —
to support your emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being.

HOW THERAPY WORKS

Chronic pain is persistent and can arise from a variety of sources — autoimmune conditions, nerve damage, or musculoskeletal issues. Unlike temporary pain, it doesn’t always have a clear endpoint, which makes it uniquely difficult to manage.

Similarly, chronic illness — like diabetes, fibromyalgia, or multiple sclerosis — often requires ongoing adjustments and careful self-management.

Living with chronic pain or illness is not just about enduring symptoms — it’s about learning to navigate life with support, compassion, and self-awareness.

You’re not broken.
You’re not imagining things.
And you don’t have to do this alone.

You don’t have to. We’ll move at your pace, and I’ll help you gently find language and insight over time.

Not at all. Whether you’ve been diagnosed or not, your emotional experience is valid and worthy of support.

Yes. Many of my clients are high-achieving and privately struggling. You don’t have to be in crisis to need or deserve support.
