Pain Reprocessing Therapist
A Story of Healing

On a cloudy day in March of 2021, I woke up to severe pain emanating from my head, neck, and chest. Over the ensuing year and half I would develop more than twelve symptoms, including migraine, leg pain, IBS, GERD, depersonalization, tinnitus, loss of appetite, anxiety, and chronic fatigue. I went from being an active mom and Creative Director with a demanding career to completely leveled by my symptoms. 

I miraculously happened upon the work of Dr. John Sarno and Alan Gordon. But I was skeptical. 

Through Pain Reprocessing Therapy, I came to accept that my symptoms were TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome) or neuroplastic pain. In other words, my pain symptoms were safe signals coming from my brain that I was misinterpreting as dangerous.  

I immersed myself in the neuroscience of pain, gaining first hand knowledge of brain retraining modalities. This led to a dramatic reduction in my symptoms and as the pain receded, my quality of life was not only restored but transformed. 

I then earned my certification as a Pain Reprocessing Therapist and became a ICF-certified Professional Life Coach ready to help others find their way out of pain. 

I believe the power of brain retraining transforms lives because it has transformed my own life.  

I live in the Bay Area by way of Massachusetts where I earned a BA in English Literature from Stonehill College. I am currently at work writing a guidebook on healing from chronic pain. Stay tuned!

In my free time, I play in a women’s soccer league and enjoy time with my wife, three kids and our dog, James.
