Can't sleep? Trapped in anxious rumination? Misplaced your joy? I specialize in treating insomnia, anxiety, panic and OCD in adults and high school age teens. Clients learn skills and enhance their confidence within a validating Behavioral Therapy framework. Clients co-create weekly behavioral experiments and track their mood, body responses. Therapy is time-limited and problem-focused.
Combining empathy with research-based cognitive - behavioral strategies has assisted my clients in improving their sleep, mood, by decreasing interference from anxiety and sleep problems. Clients describe me as curious, empowering and gently irreverent.
You are not broken and may need help feeling whole. You want your life to feel more meaningful worth living. That starts with helping you identify your goals. My job is to help you make progress toward goals. I'd be honored to assist you.
