What often happens is that your greatest strengths—for example, your intelligence, sensitivity, or ambition—have started turning against you in the form of anxiety, overthinking, and (if it continues into the night) insomnia.
In my approach, I use a blend of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy. CBT focuses on present thought patterns and habits, while psychodynamic therapy explores personal history, personality structure, and core values. The result is a therapeutic conversation that feels both grounded and resonant.

I specialize in working with high achievers struggling with anxiety and insomnia.
You're an ambitious person, and you love what you do, but recently something has changed. All of a sudden you don't feel like yourself anymore. You feel exhausted and overwhelmed. You used to feel successful and competent, but these days you don't feel like you are getting anything right. On the surface, things look great, but inside you worry that it's all falling apart. When you lay down at night, you can't seem to quiet your mind, and you wonder if you will ever feel "normal" again. You just want to feel less anxious and finally start sleeping through the night. You'd love to feel confident again.

Clients often experience improved sleep, calmer emotions, sharper concentration, and increased resilience in their daily lives.
You might be seeking therapy because you feel like no one has your back, that you just can't handle how much crap keeps pilling up on you, because you doubt your ability to manage the craziness of life, the heaviness of it, the complications of family that you love, but who don't always treat you with love and care, you feel weighed down by "failures" and unable to see your strength and successes despite surviving one hard thing after another, and often with limited or poor support. Or maybe you just feel broken and that no one else cares. The truth is most people aren't broken. They may have hearts or minds that have been sprained, but with the right treatment, they can heal. When people come to see me who feel that "no one cares about them" I'm always reminded of how important it is that AT LEAST ONE PERSON cares...and the fact that they got to my office tells me that the MOST important person they can have rooting for them in their life CARES - THEY CARE. They care enough to get the support they need. And that's the first step to widening that circle to create healthy connections so that they don't have to carry that care alone.

I also offer evidence-based treatment for insomnia (CBT-I) for those looking for a structured approach to improving sleep.
Have you ever said you had a “normal” childhood and believed it at the time? As you’ve gotten older, you may have started to notice some cracks. You may be seeing how early experiences shaped the way you relate to yourself today — how hard you are on yourself, how much you second-guess yourself, or how difficult it feels to rest. You don’t quite feel like yourself, and you’re tired of trying to figure it out alone. I specialize in working with adults who feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, and self-doubt and want to trust themselves and feel more ease.

But beneath that composure? You’re craving a different kind of life. Not crisis care—clarity. Not survival—alignment. You’re done shrinking your needs to stay “strong.” You want a space that meets you at your level. A space where your identity, your pace, and your future get to breathe. You’re ready to feel like yourself again—without the armor.

Psychologist, PhD
Charlotte, NC 28209
In my postdoctoral fellowship, I focused on behavioral sleep medicine (how we change our behaviors and the way we think about sleep in order to sleep better).
I believe therapy is not just about easing suffering, it's also about nurturing joy and deeper connections with others. I work with clients to engage more meaningfully with their lives. My approach is grounded in a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) framework, while drawing on skills from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and self-compassion.

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.
