Hello, I am currently accepting new clients in my 100% online, telehealth practice. Starting therapy for the first time or re-initiating therapy after a break can be daunting; but most things worth doing involve some risk. Many of my clients are quite successful, but are unsatisfied with certain aspects of their life such as self-confidence, mood, relationships, or
sleep
. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult period of your life, relief from anxiety, rest from your struggle with
insomnia
, regained security after a traumatic event, healing after a loss, or simply deeper self-knowledge: Therapy is a risk worth taking.

My specialty is Trauma. Trauma can be "micro-traumas" that leave you feeling confused and rejected. It can also be significant trauma that erodes trust and joy. I work with adults and elders. When life gets "too hard", it can manifest itself in anxiety, depression,
insomnia
, eating issues, sexual issues, and somatic symptoms. Have you lost a job, a partner or a received a scary diagnosis? How are you coping with covid? I bring to the encounter my compassion, my training and my skill. I listen carefully and ask many questions. My ideal client is serious about change, period. Together we create a safe space for it to happen.

I am also trained in CBT-I (evidence-based treatment specifically for
insomnia
).
My clients want to improve mood, self-esteem, relationships, sleeping habits, etc., and come to realize that something happens within the client/therapist relationship that does not happen alone. My typical client shows improvement within a few months, and then eventually meets with me less frequently (for 'tune-ups'). And, my clients sometimes return to sessions with me after leaving therapy, if things begin to go awry.

My psychotherapy practice is dedicated to helping people overcome difficulties in managing troubling emotions, dysfunctional behaviors, or problems in career, relationship, or life transition. Working primarily in short-term cognitive behavioral models, trouble areas are defined and broken down. Clients are actively encouraged to collaborate on developing new, healthier perspectives, and to generate and practice effective coping strategies and skills. Foundations in psychodynamic and developmental theory, neuroscience, as well as eastern philosophy and mindfulness practice often inform and shape the course of work.

In my Psychology Today blog, The Minute Therapist, I focus on how changing our thoughts and deeper, underlying beliefs can help us control troubling emotions and lead more effective lives. Many people are burdened by anxiety, phobias, stress, relationship problems, depression,
insomnia
, anger-related issues, and sexual dysfunctions. In cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), we directly address these problems to help people develop more adaptive behaviors and ways of thinking. CBT is a time-limited treatment and the most well-documented method of therapy in use today.

I have 14 years of experience doing cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety, OCD, body focused repetitive behaviors (such as skin picking or hair pulling), stress,
sleep
, and depression.
When we're anxious, we tend to feel physical symptoms (like our hearts beating faster) or experience lots of worries about many things. But the biggest problem with anxiety is that it GETS IN THE WAY of a full life! It holds us back. It paralyzes us. It makes us second-guess ourselves. It prevents us from forming relationships. I became a cognitive behavioral therapist so that I could help people manage their anxiety more effectively and regain control of their lives.

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.
