Nosce Te Ipsum. Therapy begins with a dialogue about what indeed brought the client into the therapeutic setting. Clients’ thoughts, feelings and experiences provide much of the fodder for a therapeutic dialogue. Much of the work in therapy involves making sense of these thoughts and emotions. The therapist educes the client’s stories; clients narrate and share them. This integrative framework provide the lens in which I listen and connect to the narratives and presenting issues of my clients. As the tempo takes its momentum, a gradual progression of humanistic kinship, trust and understanding between my client and I are entrenched.

I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, OCD, ADHD, autism, depression, relationship difficulties, or LGBTQIA+ mental health. What brings people to me varies. Sometimes, it's something specific, like intrusive thoughts or a relationship that's struggling; sometimes, it's a more general feeling that things aren't working the way they want them to. I have firsthand experience with ADHD, OCD, and anxiety, which means I understand what these things actually feel like day to day. I work in blocks of four to six sessions with a review, so we can check that the work is going in the right direction.

From the outside, you look like you have it all together. Your house is in order, your career is moving, or you are managing the equally demanding role of a stay-at-home mom. You handle the schedules and the endless mental load. But inside, you feel depleted, anxious, or caught in an exhausting loop of overwhelm, overthinking, and internal pressure. Whether navigating the profound identity shift of matrescence, processing a difficult birth, or balancing parenting with burnout, please hear this: you are not failing—you are simply running on empty in a very difficult season of life.

As a first step it is helpful if you acknowledge that to yourself.

I promise you that I know your pain, your loneliness, and your anxiety. You have made it this far ... make the call …

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.
