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.

The self-care practices that are proven to reduce stress and increase resiliency are Relaxation, Social Support, Thought Restructuring, Sleep, Physical Activity, and Nutrition.
Consider what it would be like to live without self-doubt and less worry. Consider enjoying a moment for the experience instead of re-visiting experiences over and over in your mind by allowing your thoughts to spin stories that often begin with "what if . . ." or "I should have . . ." The role of a therapist is not to be in the middle of troubles and is not about giving advice or telling someone what to do. However, many people feel that once they have a trusted "neutral" person to speak their stories to then they have begun the process of healing.

But did you know that hypnosis has very effectively been used for stress management, "anxiety", fears and insomnia?
All hypnosis. All the time. That's all I do. I'm not a psychotherapist, I don't diagnose you and I don't "treat" you. I do, however, help you eliminate negative patterns, conquer obstacles, and take more control in your life through hypnosis and self-hypnosis.

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.
