I have worked extensively with children who have been exposed to traumas, suffer anxiety, have
sleep
issues, peer problems, impulsivity, and self esteem concerns.
I believe that therapy is most effective when there is a warm, supportive relationship between the therapist and child or teen. Does your child suffer from anxiety, trouble getting along with peers, depression, or behavioral problems? Therapy can help you child strengthen and learn new skills to address these concerns.

Accepting new patients- Sometimes you make impulsive decisions because of worry or self-esteem. It is hard to concentrate and this is holding you back. You want to work with a goal-oriented nonjudgmental professional who will guide you to a place where you feel confident and in control. Mental health is more than low self-esteem. It impacts all areas of your life including focus,
sleep
, relationships, athletic performance, and even chronic pain or health conditions.

Whether it’s trouble with
sleep
, eating, toilet training, anxiety, behavioral problems, school issues, major family transitions, traumatic experience(s), or other childhood issues that are causing distress, we can work together to get to a better place, using an approach tailored to your goals and the needs and strengths of your family and your unique child.
I have over 15 years of experience treating children under 10 and their families. I understand the intense worry and uncertainty that can come when a child is struggling—as well as the stress, exhaustion, and even guilt that results from grappling with complex parenting issues—and I’m here to help. Behavioral and emotional problems that crop up in the first decade of life are often very treatable, and taking action early can help put your child on a better path for the future. My goal is to help clients target specific problems, experience rapid, sustainable, meaningful improvement, and move forward with confidence, skill, and joy.

Anxiety and depression can look like a lot of things: avoidance, addiction, obsession, overachieving/perfectionism, apathy or lack of motivation,
sleep
problems, rigid thinking, and existential dread. This stems from living an unexamined life. Are you living the life you want, or are you living a life you think you were supposed to live? When we don't live life on our terms, it can lead to the kinds of problems that bring folks to therapy: drinking/smoking too much, doom scrolling, binge-eating, isolating. We start doing these things to help or cope in the short-term, and sometimes it's at the cost of our long-term well-being.

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.
