My style of therapy utilizes an eclectic approach to personalize and tailor the therapy to your needs.

A common approach to suffering is to attempt to control and problem solve our way out of painful experiences. But what if this is actually causing more problems than it solves? In our work together, we’ll explore how to reduce suffering, build insight, and commit to living a full, meaningful life.

You may feel overwhelmed, on edge, or emotionally exhausted without fully understanding why. Small moments can feel disproportionately intense, rest rarely feels restorative, and relationships may feel harder than they should. Even when life looks stable from the outside, something inside feels unsettled. These patterns often come from trauma—especially early or relational experiences that shaped how you learned to attach, cope, and protect yourself. Trauma may have shaped you, but it doesn’t have to define you. Healing begins by understanding its roots so you can grow beyond its branches.

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.

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.
