After another night of sleeplessness, you may be fed up with staring at an email because your brain won't "click" into gear, or feeling the quiet panic of forgetting a key detail in a high-stakes meeting.You wonder if you’ve lost the sharp, decisive version of yourself and can’t tell which came first: the anxiety or the insomnia.One thing is for sure: you’re ready for relief. You’re ready to quiet the 3:00 AM mental rehearsal of your "to-do" list and navigate your workday with calm, sustained presence rather than caffeine-fueled survival. It’s time to reclaim your cognitive confidence and feel like the high-impact leader you are.

Clients come to me looking for a therapist who will work quickly, providing the direction and strategic ideas necessary for high-level functioning—because therapy should be a place where you feel heard, but more importantly, helped. Working on sleep issues can take as few as 6 sessions. After that, we can look into what else is bothering you.

As an experienced therapist who values your time, I believe in a direct, problem-solving approach. You don’t have to keep wondering whether the sleep issues or the anxiety came first—or when they will finally stop on their own. We will identify the 'why,' but we will focus on the 'how.' You don’t have to navigate the fog alone.
