Chronic Pain Therapist

Chronic pain expert therapy from a licensed psychotherapist and former medical doctor

I’ll help you cope with chronic pain by:

    •    Finding ways to reduce pain-related stress and anxiety

    •    Creating strategies to manage flare-ups and setbacks

    •    Teaching tools for improving sleep, mood, and daily functioning

    •    Rebuilding a sense of identity, purpose, and connection

    •    Providing support for navigating relationships affected by pain

Living with chronic pain or receiving a medical diagnosis can be physically exhausting and emotionally overwhelming. Whether you’re dealing with persistent back pain, autoimmune disease, a recent diagnosis, or an ongoing health condition, the emotional toll can be just as challenging as the physical symptoms. You may feel frustrated, isolated, anxious, or even hopeless—and you don’t have to face it alone.

As both a licensed psychotherapist and former medical doctor, I offer a uniquely integrative approach to pain and health-related counseling. I understand the physiological realities of illness and pain, as well as the emotional, mental, and spiritual impact they can have on your daily life, identity, and relationships.

Pain is not just a physical experience—it’s a psychological and emotional one. In therapy, we’ll work together to reduce stress, manage depression or anxiety, and build mental resilience so you can cope more effectively. You’ll learn evidence-based techniques to regulate your nervous system, improve your relationship with your body, and navigate your health journey with clarity and strength.

Whether you’re adjusting to a new diagnosis, recovering from surgery, living with long-term pain, or struggling with the invisible weight of a chronic illness, I offer compassionate, tailored support to help you regain a sense of control, purpose, and emotional well-being.

You are more than your condition. Reach out today to schedule a confidential consultation and take the first step toward living with greater peace, strength, and hope—no matter what you’re facing.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
