What is it like to work together?
In my individual work, the experience is collaborative. I bring expertise in psychological science, but you bring something equally valuable: deep knowledge of your own life, experiences, and goals.
Why see a Health Psychologist
When it comes to health, most people think about physical care—seeing a doctor, taking medication, or following a treatment plan. But health isn’t solely about the body; it’s deeply intertwined with the mind. That’s where a Health Psychologist comes in. We specialize in understanding the intricate connection between mind and body, helping you unlock insights that promote not only physical well-being but also emotional resilience.
A Health Psychologist’s training is unique.
We delve deeply into the science of mind-body unity (what was once referred to as mind-body integration). This approach acknowledges that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are not separate from our physical health but are deeply interconnected. For example, stress can exacerbate chronic pain, and anxiety can affect heart health. Conversely, positive thoughts and behaviors can foster healing and vitality.
Through our work, we help individuals gain insight into the health-promoting power of their own thoughts and emotions. This isn’t about wishful thinking or shallow optimism; it’s about using evidence-based techniques to align your mental and emotional habits with your health goals. Whether you’re managing a chronic illness, recovering from surgery, or simply striving for better wellness, a Health Psychologist can guide you in creating meaningful, sustainable change.
Seeing a Health Psychologist is about empowering yourself to take an active role in your health. By understanding the connection between your mind and body, you can develop tools and strategies to not just manage, but thrive.
