You might be lying awake night after night, exhausted but unable to sleep. Or maybe your days are filled with worry, panic, or rituals you can’t explain to anyone else—but that feel impossible to stop. You’ve likely tried to push through or “figure it out” on your own, but nothing seems to bring lasting relief. You want to feel calm again. To sleep again, and to live without fear always lurking in the background.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just need to be open to learning new skills and do the work. Whether you’re dealing with insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, or OCD, CBT provides proven strategies for real change—not just talk, but a plan that works.
Ready to take the first step? I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your goals and explain how CBT provides a practical and effective approach different from traditional talk therapy.
