You don’t need someone to tell you to be more positive or to “try yoga.” That’s fair. That’s not what this is.
Hi, I’m Amy.
I grew up playing sports, mostly soccer.
I learned that when I was in pain, it was easier to push through and keep playing than to let my team down. And I didn’t just do that on the soccer field. I pushed through pain all the time because I didn’t want to let other people- or myself- down.
When I was in my 20s, my pain got worse and I could no longer push through it. I went to therapy, and that’s what led me to become a therapist.
Therapy didn’t magically make my pain go away, but it helped in ways I wasn’t expecting. I felt more ok saying “no.” I started advocating for my healthcare. I left a job that made everything harder. My body began to feel more relaxed, even during flareups.
If you’re struggling with your body, I get it, and I might be able to help. I do IFS therapy. You can read more about it here. When you’re ready, schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
