Watching your child struggle can be heartbreaking. You may have tried talking, reassuring, setting limits, or giving space, yet still find yourself wondering how to help. The good news is that you don't have to have all the answers.
I specialize in working with children, tweens, and teens, helping them navigate challenges such as anxiety, emotional ups and downs, behavior concerns, family changes, and relationship struggles. I also partner closely with parents and caregivers because lasting change happens not only in the therapy room, but in the relationships that matter most. I also work with individuals, families, and couples.

Sleep is as important to wellness as diet or exercise.
Mental wellness and physical wellness can either help or hinder the other. Behavioral treatments significantly improve both mental and physical outcomes, but we know it's easier said than done. I take a primarily cognitive-behavioral approach, which has the strongest evidence base and research backing, to most problem areas impacting your wellness. CBT techniques effectively change your life in the here-and-now, but careful consideration of your values show us what changes to make and how. We will explore your values and goals together; I have not climbed your mountain, but as I climb mine I’m driven to help you summit yours.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, insomnia, and adjustment issues.
Even in moments when what we were born with (i.e., nature), how we were raised (i.e., nurture), or our capacity to act in our best interests (i.e., abilities) may seem to come up short in dealing with life's challenges, each of us can compassionately challenge ourselves to get to where we want to be. A psychotherapist can be a partner in the journey to understanding and accepting what needs to be done, and taking the necessary steps for change to happen.

The clients I see are hardworking and passionate, dealing with depression, anxiety, insomnia, life transitions, or the effects of trauma.
The first step of starting therapy can be so hard: wondering if it's worth it, scheduling appointments, hoping you find someone you can trust. Schedule a free initial consultation so we can see if I am the right match for what you need. It is totally normal to “shop around” for therapists before finding one that feels like a great fit.

As I became a psychologist, I held a dual-role as a Federal Correctional Officer and psychology intern — so I understand operational stress, hypervigilance, and trauma from the inside. I work with first responders, military, law enforcement, corrections, and healthcare professionals carrying PTSD, complex trauma, nightmares, OCD, anxiety, and the weight of high-risk work. If you've tried therapy that didn't get it, or you've never gone because you don't trust talking, you're in the right place. My job is to use the best treatments we have and help you get your life back — not to soften the work or sugarcoat what you've seen.

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.
