CRPS Therapist & Pain Management Coaching
Psychological support and pain education for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and chronic pain. Therapy in California. Coaching available worldwide
Living with CRPS isn't like other chronic pain conditions.
The pain is relentless—piercing, stabbing, burning, shooting. It spreads to other parts of your body without new injury. It doesn't improve with rest. In fact, you wake up more exhausted than before you slept, and finding the motivation to keep going can feel impossible.
And it's not just pain. CRPS affects your entire system—immune function becomes compromised, digestive issues emerge, the vagus nerve gets involved. Your body feels like it's breaking down in ways that don't make sense.
Simple touch becomes painful. A hug, a hand on your shoulder, even clothing against your skin can feel unbearable. Intimacy becomes complicated. Connection feels impossible.
Treatments that might help aren't covered by insurance, yet the condition is disabling. How do you pay out of pocket when you can't work?
And then there's the disbelief. Providers who dismiss you. Family and friends who try but often may not understand how a minor injury could cause this level of suffering. The isolation that comes when people stop believing you—or you stop trying to explain.

Why this matters
CRPS is sometimes called the "suicide disease"—not because it's terminal, but because the combination of severe pain, spreading symptoms, treatment barriers, and disbelief from others can feel unbearable.
Most CRPS resources fall into two categories: clinical professionals who've never experienced it, or patient communities without professional training.
I offer both. Clinical expertise and lived experience.
I'm not here to tell you that positivity will cure your pain or that your suffering isn't real. I'm here to help you navigate it—with honesty, skill, and deep understanding of what you're facing.
Who this is for
People living with CRPS or chronic pain who need psychological support
Those struggling with the emotional and relational impact of chronic illness
Family members trying to understand and support someone with CRPS
Anyone looking for evidence-based strategies to improve quality of life alongside pain
