I work with clients who have anxiety, depression and self esteem issues. What we tell ourselves and what our parents have told us can define how we feel about ourselves.

A big part of my work is teaching people to negotiate and effectively talk with families and friends, and to be heard and understood without causing any drama.

I have years of training and experience working with survivors of trauma, mood issues, and Insomnia.
To understand each client, I begin by seeking out the strengths, abilities, and positive qualities that are present. Very often new clients are so used to thinking or hearing about their problems that they themselves seem to forget their own positive traits and attributes. Giving time and space for these elements to surface is helpful in many ways, including becoming a touchpoint of their own resources. I really enjoy helping foster resiliency among my clients, helping them recognize their capacities to cope, heal, and move beyond feeling stuck or powerless.

I have extensive experience in treating complex PTSD, including sexual abuse, relationship abuse, and childhood or developmental trauma. Learning how to gain some control over physical symptoms is often the most important but overlooked first step in recovery and healing. Feeling comfortable in your body is too often the primary obstacle standing in the way of regaining your sense of self. I have helped many people with achieving the physical regulation necessary for symptom control, all the way through to recovering from the emotional and psychological injuries resulting from traumatic experiences.

I am also certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi) and can support clients in resolving sleep difficulties.
Many of the clients I work with carry the belief that something about them is inherently "wrong"—that they are not enough or not worthy.

My approach is collaborative and grounded in curiosity, authenticity, openness, and humor. Together, we explore long-held beliefs and patterns, creating space for greater self-awareness, healing, and growth. Through this process, clients can develop new ways of relating to themselves and others.

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.
