Description
As a bilingual social worker with over 31 years of experience, most of which has been in the hospital setting, I have developed a niche in the area of Chronic Pain and Chronic illness. I use my expertise to empower you to learn more about chronic pain, develop coping strategies to manage your symptoms to improve your quality of life. I have advanced training in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) - an evidence-based, mind-body or somatic approach that offers techniques that help retrain the brain to accurately interpret and respond to signals from the body through a lens of safety.
