I partner with individuals who are dealing with issues related to anxiety or mood, sleep difficulties, chronic pain/persistent pain, trauma, or stress - or some combination of these. Understanding that: 1. our minds and bodies are inextricably intertwined (shout out to our incredible Nervous System!), and, 2. there is often an overlap between mood, sleep, trauma, chronic pain, or stress... when we work on one area, it also has benefits in other areas! We leverage the power of these interconnections to help you figure out and move in the direction of what's really important to you in your life.
I'm a specialist in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy, and Mindfulness, addressing anxiety/stress, depression, chronic pain, trauma, and sleep difficulties including insomnia. My practice is exclusively telehealth (easy and convenient!) with evening and weekend appointments.
Choosing a therapist is a big deal - it's important to listen to your instincts in this process. It would be my honor to hear from you... you ask questions you might have, I learn more about what you want to work on or sort through, and you get a sense of whether I am a good fit. If I hear from you, I'll respond within 24 hours.

I specialize in focused therapy for anxiety, stress, insomnia/sleep difficulties, chronic (persistent) pain, and mood. If more than one of these are present for you (that's not at all uncommon, by the way), our goals will take this interconnection into account. Our work will be grounded in findings from neuroscience about the nervous system's primary role in effective growth and change.
