Many people seek therapy with me saying, "I've been anxious my whole life. I'm always on alert and I can't shut off my head at night." or "Sleep happens when everything catches up with me". I help adolescents and adults who appear fine on the outside but struggle with insomnia, nighttime anxiety, and sleep disturbances focusing on chronic anxiety and the effects of early relational wounds. Many clients discover that their sleep struggles are part of a larger pattern of feeling constantly "on alert," overwhelmed, or unable to fully relax due to high levels of complex relational or developmental trauma or anxiety.
I help individuals whose chronic stress & unresolved trauma keep them stuck in cycles of insomnia or anxiety using CBT-I , EMDR, IFS, & evidence-based therapy, such as: Trouble falling asleep/staying asleep; Racing mind at night; Chronic tension/anxiety; History neglectful, chaotic, or stressful relationships; poor response to medication, apps, sleep hygiene
Many people come to therapy because they can't sleep. They may lie awake with racing thoughts, wake up throughout the night, or feel exhausted no matter how much time they spend in bed. Whether you're struggling with insomnia, stress-related sleep problems, nighttime worry, or the lingering effects of past experiences, we can work together to resolve this.

Sleep difficulties are often more than simply bad habit or an inability to "turn off" at night. I believe that restorative sleep is not simply the absence of insomnia—it is often an indicator of safety, emotional well-being, and nervous system balance. My goal is to help clients move beyond temporary coping strategies and experience deeper healing, improved sleep, and greater emotional resilience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). CBT-I is considered the gold-standard treatment for chronic insomnia and can help people achieve lasting improvements in sleep without relying solely on medication. I incorporate EMDR and IFS therapy to help clients process difficult experiences and reduce the impact of unresolved trauma and chronic anxiety on sleep.
