Chronic Pain Therapy

Chronic pain therapy from a marriage and family therapist perspective focuses not only on the individual experiencing pain but also on the impact it has on family dynamics and relationships.

Living with chronic pain for many years can create stress, frustration, and feelings of isolation, both for the person in pain and for their loved ones. In therapy, we work together to explore the emotional, relational, and behavioral effects of chronic pain, helping clients and their families develop coping strategies, improve communication, and strengthen support systems. Sessions may include identifying patterns of stress or misunderstanding within relationships, building collaborative problem-solving skills, and addressing the emotional toll of living with ongoing pain. The goal is to help clients reclaim a sense of agency, improve quality of life, and foster healthy, supportive connections with their partners, children, or other family members while navigating the challenges of chronic pain.

If you or a loved one are living with chronic pain and finding it affects your daily life or relationships, I invite you to reach out and schedule a session. As a therapist specializing in chronic pain, I provide a compassionate, supportive space to explore both the physical and emotional challenges you face. Together, we can develop strategies to manage stress, improve communication with loved ones, and enhance your overall quality of life. Taking the first step can feel daunting, but reaching out is the beginning of regaining control, finding support, and building a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. Give me a call today, and let’s start this journey toward healing together.
