I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the first-line, non-medication treatment for chronic insomnia. I work with adults who struggle to fall asleep, wake during the night and have trouble returning to sleep, or wake up feeling unrefreshed despite spending enough time in bed. Over time, many begin to feel anxious or tense at bedtime, frustrated by lying awake, and worried about how poor sleep is affecting their mood, focus, and daily functioning.
Many of my clients have tried medications, supplements or general therapy for sleep without lasting relief. CBT-I is different. It targets the behaviors and thoughts that keep insomnia going. Treatment includes sleep schedule adjustments, strategies to reduce nighttime wakefulness and tools to calm a racing mind so sleep can feel more natural and consistent.
If you feel stuck in a cycle of insomnia, dreading nights and dragging through days, you’re not alone. Sleep problems are common and highly treatable with the right structured, evidence-based approach. Even if sleep has felt broken for a long time, meaningful change is possible.

For clients seeking CBT-I, we start with a 60-minute intake and feedback session where I provide sleep education and propose a treatment plan. I will also give you recommendations (or referrals, if CBT-I is not the best fit), so you will have an actionable plan for next steps even if we don't end up working together. Follow-up sessions are typically 50 mins weekly for approximately 4-8 weeks.

My work primarily focuses on sleep and circadian concerns, including insomnia, nightmares, and difficulty adjusting to PAP therapy. I also help clients manage stress, anxiety, burnout, and life transitions when these factors are affecting sleep. Treatment is skills-based and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on improving sleep and overall functioning.
