when the body suffers, the whole self is affected

Odilon Redon, “Armor” 1891

Therapy for Chronic Pain and Illness

Living with chronic pain or illness is never just a medical issue. It touches your sense of self, your relationships, and your hopes for the future. Pain and illness can bring waves of frustration, grief, fear, or loneliness. At times it may feel like your own body has betrayed you, leaving you cut off from the life you once imagined.

Friends or doctors may focus only on symptoms. You know the impact goes further. It reaches into identity, agency, and even the ability to hope.

I offer therapy for chronic pain and illness in San Francisco that takes your whole experience seriously — body, mind, and meaning.
