If you’re feeling emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or simply unsure of what you need—therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and begin again with intention. I work with clients navigating a wide range of life transitions and inner struggles—whether rooted in personal history, identity, relationships, or external pressures. Many of the people I support are college students, young adults, first-generation professionals, high-achieving students, or BIPOC individuals. They’re often juggling a lot—trying to grow, to show up for others, and to stay connected to who they are in the process.

I offer both shorter-term therapy for stress, anxiety, and life transitions, and longer-term, presence-centered work that helps you discover and live from your depths. I welcome those navigating major life changes, as well as spiritual, religious, and contemplative seekers.

I integrate neuroscience-informed and holistic approaches into my work, helping clients understand the connections between the brain, body, and emotional well-being. My background in neuroscience informs how I conceptualize emotional experiences and behavior, and my lifelong involvement in horseback riding has shaped my appreciation for movement, connection, and the restorative aspects of nature, which I incorporate into my relational and embodied approach to care.

You're a reliable, high-achieving woman—someone who looks like they have it all together, but on the inside you are falling apart. You're dealing with a lot of stress, your worry keeps you up at night, and you find it hard to say nice things to yourself. You have big dreams and life goals, but somehow you can't quite keep up with day-to-day demands. Outside influences and pressure are bringing you down, you're procrastinating on important tasks, and avoidance has become your go-to coping mechanism.

My ideal client is someone standing at a crossroads — feeling the weight of change and uncertain of what comes next. They may be navigating a significant life transition, whether that’s a career shift, a relationship change, an empty nest, or stepping into a new chapter they didn’t quite choose. They are learning to find their footing in a healthcare system that feels unfamiliar, perhaps managing a new diagnosis, supporting a loved one through illness, or reckoning with the evolving needs of their own aging body. They may be carrying grief, need a space where they feel safe enough to be honest, to slow down, and to begin healing.

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.
