I may be helpful if you are struggling with anxiety, sleep, and losses.
I understand many concerns are very private, and I respect this. One of my primary concerns is the development of trust within our alliance. My style is informal, warm, and supportive. I do not believe one size fits all in therapy. You are the expert on you. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), along with others which may be beneficial to you.

While I work with adults and teens (15+) facing any number of challenges, I see many people with addictions, ADHD, and insomnia.
We should expect life to be challenging, but when we struggle to the point of suffering, it’s time to reset. I help adults and adolescents move from fear, suffering, and shame, back to a place of functioning and rediscovering meaning. Whether it is mood, functioning, relationships, or anxiety, we can discuss how to get life back in order. If you're concerned about drug or alcohol use, let's talk about your goals. Treatment is not one-size-fits-all.

As a doctor in clinical and transpersonal psychology, I am well equipped to help you through either mental health or spiritual concerns.

Maybe you’ve noticed yourself withdrawing from the things you used to enjoy, or you're experiencing physical effects like tension, sleep issues, headaches, panic attacks, or digestive problems.
One of my priorities is helping clients understand the neurobiological factors that drive their emotions, habits, and stress. Knowing these experiences aren’t “all in your head” can foster empowerment and help you tune into your body in healthier ways.

I enjoy treating those with burnout from caring for others, general anxiety, or who have a history of trauma. I am trained in CBT and EMDR and focus on healing of the mind and body. I can offer a Christian perspective, if desired.

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.
