I work from a psychodynamic perspective but I also utilize many cognitive behavioral techniques including CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I).

To young people the world is chaotic; filled with academic, parental and peer pressures. Their inner strengths and desires get lost amid the noise. I teach my client to see through the chaos and to take control of what is best for each of them. Young people need another voice, an objective voice that makes them question who they are and what they want. Not only the voice of a parent, teacher or school because all three are unable to be truly objective. My role is that of mentor/guide asking the question "What is it that you really want?"

You might be a woman in her 20s or 30s who, from the outside, has built a life that looks steady—career, relationships, responsibilities—but inside, you feel more anxious, alone, or unsure of yourself than expected. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, identity, and relationships—often shaped by life transitions, navigating grief and other endings, or unmet hopes for belonging and fulfillment. These experiences make sense. Navigating them alone is hard.

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.
