I use evidence-informed practices and integrate cognitive behavioral therapy to heal trauma (EMDR), manage chronic disease like depression and anxiety (Stanford University certified), and create healthy routines, including better sleep habits.
Change, even good change, is hard. Life transitions happen to all of us and sometimes we need help managing it. Together, we will find your path toward healing and growth, based on your innate self-compassion, dignity, and courage.

Using a variety of treatment methods, my practice focuses on helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, adjustment, self-esteem, communication difficulties, loss, specific phobias, sleep hygiene and intimacy issues.
***I currently have daytime openings. No evenings or weekends.*** At times, life can present us with obstacles that are difficult to navigate and though we know we need to make changes we don’t always know how to begin. We all need support and an empathetic ear and with that we are all capable of adapting. I have worked with children, families and adults for more than 20 years as they have adjusted to life’s circumstances. Over that time I have seen the impact that talking, listening and empathy can have in our lives.

Has finding a therapist been on your to-do list for days, weeks, months or years? Do you feel exhausted or overwhelmed by the idea of making an appointment? If so, I imagine you are sick and tired of the narrative that you are just not motivated enough to change. The one thing you are sure of is your desire to feel better, even if what that looks like is still unclear. Maybe you want to test drive different coping strategies and need a co-pilot to feel safe enough to jump in the drivers seat - or maybe you want someone to listen while you sit in park and express what it's like to feel stuck and misunderstood.

Sleep or Insomnia Therapists

How effective is treatment for insomnia?

The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?

There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?

There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?

Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
