You wonder if you’ve lost the sharp, decisive version of yourself and can’t tell which came first: the anxiety or the insomnia
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.

Life can feel really heavy at times. We can feel pulled in so many directions: by the people who rely on us, the expectations we place on ourselves, and the responsibilities that come with school, work, family, and simply being human. It’s easy to slip into survival mode and push our own needs to the side. Therapy can be a place to set all of that down for a moment, breathe, and sort through what’s going on inside. Sometimes having someone walk beside you through those ups and downs can make all the difference.

Is anxiety or trauma leaving you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck? I support women and LGBTQIA+ folks who are navigating anxiety, trauma, and chronic stress. My work is grounded in somatic therapy, an approach that focuses on how experiences live in the body and nervous system, not just in our thoughts. We will work together to build internal safety so your nervous system can begin to release patterns of overwhelm and protection that no longer serve you.

There are ways that life “doesn’t make sense” or at least challenges the ways we think or feel. This is harder if no one carefully helps us navigate what changes to try and give insights and feedback along the way. I am an LCPC-licensed therapist, and I may be that person for you. I focus on listening to your world and how you understand and experience it. As I empathize with your experiences, values, and goals, I may also see parts that you have not, including perhaps strengths and/or limits that may be holding you back.

As a counselor, I help people who feel mentally overwhelmed, self-critical, or stuck in patterns that are no longer working for them. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, OCD, neurodivergence (including autism), burnout, and the exhaustion that comes from trying to “keep up” while feeling internally overloaded.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you are not broken—you may just be overwhelmed, under-supported, or disconnected from your own internal cues. A big part of our work is helping you reconnect with what is actually you versus what is anxiety, pressure, or internalized expectations.

So, you’ve waited this long to either start therapy or change to a therapist that’ll REALLY help. By the time you get to this point – you’re overdue. I get that. That’s why we keep openings for SAME day appointments, and evening & weekend slots. Although we don’t do emergency care – we understand that sometimes it’s best to talk through something soon. I specialize in treating fellow doctors, lawyers or high-net worth individuals who require a therapist that can match their intellect and caliber. I understand how big law, three-letter government agencies and academia works – so you won’t have to waste time getting me up to speed.

I believe that healing unfolds naturally when we create the right conditions to access our inner knowing. Blending talk therapy and experiential forms of therapy, I work with adults and teens ages 15+ experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment related concerns, life transitions, and trauma. Additionally, I support clients in exploring identity, particularly as it relates to sexual orientation, culture/ethnicity, and spirituality. I'm here to walk alongside you—not to fix or change you, but to support your process of returning to self and coherence. I trust in the wisdom that already lives within you.

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.
