Number of years in practice with patients who have TMS: 17 (though only started treating TMS 10 years ago)

Additional Questions for Therapists
What have you done to educate yourself about TMS, and what plans do you have for further education about TMS?
I have read books on TMS and have networked with other providers knowledgeable about TMS.
As we are going to post your answers on the TMS Wiki, feel free to write some text to introduce yourself:
As a psychologist, I know that sometimes people with TMS need additional help identifying the underlying issues that are driving their TMS pain. Or even if they have identified the issues, getting relief from the pain may take more help in working with those issues. I have treated many people with TMS and a variety of manifestations (for example, neck and back pain, bursitis, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia). Working with me can help to both come to terms with some of the underlying issues, as well as help develop strategies for using this knowledge to reduce your pain and discomfort, and to resume a more normal life.
