Bio
I have many passions, but one of them is to help people living with chronic health problems do what matters to them.
This blog is developed for health care providers who want to help people develop their skills for living well, while respecting their values.
I have worked in the field of chronic pain management, helping people develop 'self management' skills for most of my clinical career. Many of the skills are directly applicable to people with other health conditions.
I like to work collaboratively with people, respecting that all people have limitations and vulnerabilities - as well as strengths and potential. I use an ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) approach, believing that therapy is not helpful unless there are visible changes in what the person does.
If you are a person experiencing health problems, you may find information here that is helpful. I encourage you to make sure any advice you receive anywhere (including here) is based on sound scientific studies. This blog is not designed to give any personal advice on health conditions, and should not replace a consultation with your own health care providers.
