Chronic Pain (Migraine & Fibromyalgia)
Care for your body and mind—when the pain feels like it never stops.
Living with chronic pain like migraines or fibromyalgia can affect every part of your life—physically, emotionally, and mentally. The constant discomfort, unpredictability of flare-ups, and impact on your daily routine can leave you feeling exhausted, frustrated, isolated, and even disbelieved.
Beyond the physical symptoms, chronic pain often brings emotional weight: sadness, anxiety, helplessness, or the feeling that no one truly understands what you’re going through. It’s common to struggle with sleep, relationships, and a loss of the “you” you used to be.
Chronic pain may show up as:
Recurring Migraines – intense headaches, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and brain fog
Fibromyalgia – widespread pain, fatigue, cognitive issues (“fibro fog”), and sleep disturbance
Co-occurring Emotional Struggles – anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief linked to your pain experience
Invisible Illness Experience – feeling misunderstood or invalidated by others or the medical system
Therapeutic Approaches I Use
In therapy, we explore the connection between your physical symptoms and emotional health—without ever suggesting the pain is “all in your head.” We’ll focus on helping you manage stress, process the emotional impact of your condition, and rebuild a sense of control and compassion for your body.
Schema Therapy
To identify and shift core beliefs related to self-worth, helplessness, or over-responsibility that may intensify the emotional burden of chronic illness
EMDR Therapy
To process trauma linked to medical experiences, misdiagnoses, or the emotional toll of chronic pain
Mindfulness-Based & Body-Oriented Techniques
To build emotional regulation, reduce stress, and improve the mind-body connection
There Is a Way Forward
Chronic pain can wear you down—but your life is still worth living fully. You are more than your diagnosis, and your pain story deserves space, validation, and care.
Even if the symptoms haven’t gone away, therapy can help you feel more grounded, supported, and empowered in how you relate to your body and your life.
You don’t have to face chronic pain alone.
Therapy can help you find relief—not just in your body, but in your heart and mind.
