Through my time at Washington University in St Louis and the Minneapolis VA, I gained specialized training in treatments for PTSD, Insomnia, Depression, Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Nightmares, and emotion regulation and interpersonal difficulties.
Traumatic experiences, relationship problems, and painful emotions can keep us from living the lives we want to live. I will help you develop techniques to break this vicious cycle and reconnect with what matters. I have specialized training in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness. My goal is to help you make changes that increase the quality of your life within an affirming environment with respect to sexuality, gender identity, religion, race, and all aspects of culture.

Saint Louis Park, MN 55426
I specialize in therapy for adolescents and adults with depression, anxiety, and stress. Maybe you feel drained by the intensity of your emotions and how deeply affected you are by others and the world around you. Maybe you feel stuck in your head, constantly overthinking, or pushing yourself to meet impossible standards. You care a lot, often about others more than yourself, and you’re tired of feeling like it’s never enough. You’re craving space to just be, without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out. You want tools to cope and space to be heard. You want someone who truly gets what it’s like to walk in your shoes.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by cycles of worry, reassurance-seeking, or checking behaviors? Have you tried therapy before without finding lasting relief? Effective treatment starts with evidence-based care delivered by a provider who truly specializes in your area of need. Many of my clients have struggled for years because they were not receiving the gold-standard treatment for OCD. My approach is likely very different than what you have previously tried. I bring a wealth of knowledge from both my masters and doctoral training, as well as years of specialized clinical experience treating OCD and anxiety disorders.

Truth: The less you plan your life around shy bladder syndrome, the more your life will improve. Right now, you rearrange your entire day to cater to paruresis; you avoid basically anything that involves being away from home so long that you’ll need to use a public restroom. When you do try to go in public, you often psych yourself out. Your world has gotten pretty small & you’re missing out on many things you enjoy. You’ve lived in shame & secrecy for years. You might have tried therapy or DIY solutions but you're left wondering why nothing is working. It's not that you haven't planned enough, DIY'ed enough or tried enough therapy.

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.
