Frequently Asked Questions

I am a physician who has been a patient myself. I bring both clinical expertise and personal understanding to every visit.

It is important to rule out any unexamined structural causes of your symptoms with a physician prior to pursuing neuroplastic treatments.

Early on, we meet more frequently to learn the science and the tools. As you gain confidence in the work, visits become less frequent. The goal is that you leave with the knowledge and skills to sustain your own recovery.

Real physical pain and symptoms generated by a nervous system on high alert. The brain develops maladaptive firing patterns in response to perceived danger signals. This produces and amplifies symptoms in the body over time, even after an injury has healed or when no structural cause is found. Your symptoms are not imagined and these brain firing patterns are reversible.

This approach is grounded in neuroscience and begins with a thorough medical evaluation. We address your symptoms, history, imaging, prior treatments, emotions and stress. I work collaboratively with therapists and refer when it serves you. This work is complementary, not competing.

A structural finding — a herniated disc, arthritis, degenerative changes — does not rule out a neuroplastic contribution. Many people with chronic symptoms have both. Part of our work together is understanding what is driving your symptoms.
