Are you having relationship problems (e.g., spouse/significant other, family, co-workers, friends), suffer anxiety, insomnia, depression, stuck in a rut--or seeking to improve upon something you already do pretty well?
I work with individuals, couples, and families seeking new approaches to persistent problems, especially anxiety, phobias, enhancing communication and reducing conflict in relationships. Together, we can work to help you consider alternatives to old habits and create thoughts and behaviors to help you clarify and achieve your goals. In our therapy sessions, I strive to model and create an experience to help you practice the communication and behaviors you are seeking to adopt.

For over 30 years, I have specialized in drug-free Cognitive Behavioral Treatment of Panic Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Phobias and Stress-Related symptoms. I have helped over 7,000 patients take control of the terrifying symptoms of heart pounding, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, rubbery legs, inner trembling, and nausea, and eliminate the terror and false fear of having a heart attack, fainting in public, having a nervous breakdown, losing control, or even sudden death. My patients learn how to reduce health worry and stop needless anxiety-driven emergency room and doctor visits, as they regain peace of mind.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

It's so hard to be you isn't it? Being in a relationship and not feeling heard. Your needs not getting met. You're questioning if you should stay or leave. You've tried communicating in every way you can think of or not communicating and letting things "slide", but nothing changes. The frustration and resentment just builds. Before you make the decision to leave or decide to just sweep it under the rug and continue to be in pain, let me work with both of you.

Are you frequently experiencing stress, anxiety, irritability, or sadness? Are significant life changes leaving you overwhelmed and uneasy? Embracing vulnerability is a challenging endeavor. It often seems easier to bury our emotions and avoid addressing them altogether, believing that by doing so, we can protect ourselves from pain. However, it frequently leads to more profound and persistent emotional and relational issues that persistently resurface in your life. It's crucial to recognize that healing begins with allowing ourselves to feel, even if it's uncomfortable or painful.

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.
