When your body holds the pain—and your brain won’t let go.

You’ve tried everything: doctors, physical therapy, nutrition, medications. But the pain is still there—or keeps coming back.

It’s time to consider a different source: your nervous system.

Chronic pain therapy intensives are built for neuroplastic pain—real pain that isn’t caused by structural injury, but by the brain misfiring its alarm system.

You’re struggling with chronic pain (or body based symptoms) that seems unexplainable. Pain or physical symptoms that don’t respond like normal issues. 

It’s been more than 3-6 months and your providers have not identified a root cause. Or they have and the magnitude of the symptoms are way more agonizing than they should be. 

Conditions I often work with:

Understanding the mind-body connection

Chronic pain often results from miscommunication between the brain and body, sometimes linked to unresolved trauma or stuck emotion. This phenomenon, known as neuroplastic pain, occurs when the brain continues to send pain signals despite the absence of physical injury.

Our goal is to help you retrain your brain to interpret these signals correctly, breaking the cycle of chronic pain.

Ready to explore a different kind of pain approach that goes beyond pain management?

When you’re dealing with chronic pain that feels unexplainable, neuroplastic pain therapy offers relief beyond standard pain management.

Using deep brain-based techniques like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), we’ll work to rewire how your brain interprets pain signals, allowing you to regain control over your body and sensations.

Pulling from some of the best deep brain therapy approaches to address the root of the discomfort.

Pain Reprocessing Therapy

An approach designed to retrain the brain to interpret signals in the body and break the chronic pain cycle.

Trauma Therapies

Modalities: ART, EMDR, Brainspotting, Flash

Trauma reprocessing therapies targeting the limbic system in the brain that helps resolve stuck body sensations, pain, physiological responses, memories,  emotions, and beliefs.

Somatic Focused

Emphasis of the body’s role in what is happening right now.

Creating a mindful focus of noticing the internal experience.

Designing your therapy intensive

Your chronic pain therapy intensive may focus on:

Choose your format

1-Day Chronic Pain Therapy Intensive

A 4 hour session–ideal for focused pain issues.

3-Day Chronic Pain Therapy Intensive (7 hours total)

A structured deep-dive, Friday–Sunday, ideal for pain/body related issues that are complex with many interconnected memories or experiences.

Follow-Up Sessions

Book shorter sessions (90–120 min) to continue progress and continued relief, following a 1 or 3 day intensive.

This work is highly imaginative, somatic, and practical. Evidence-based. And often, profoundly life-changing.

Choose your Space

Where you do this work matters—and your nervous system knows what kind of setting helps it soften.

Virtual (Available across Oregon)

Convenient and cozy. Perfect if you prefer healing from your own space.

Portland Office (Pearl District)

Private, calm, and grounded in the city. For clients who want structure with comfort.

Your Backyard or Garden (Portland Only)

Want to do this work surrounded by nature? If you have a quiet outdoor space, we can bring the work to you. This option is especially supportive for clients with sensory needs or eco-regulation preferences.

Pain is a normal human experience & evolutionary way of helping us survive

And sometimes pain is a miscommunication from brain to body

Addressing chronic pain or other types of mind-body syndromes in therapy will start by assessing if it is Neuroplastic, followed by a blending of therapeutic approaches that will help the brain course correct and stop sending those danger signals.
