Are you having trouble falling and staying asleep? Are you exhausted? I have worked with many individuals who struggle with sleep . I will lead you through a 5-week program called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) that is the gold standard treatment for insomnia , with a 80% recovery rate after 5 weeks. My clients have found excellent results with this innovative and short term therapy. If anxiety or depressive symptoms contribute to your difficulties with sleep we can tackle those as well. I work well with people from all backgrounds, genders, and sexual orientations.

I will work with you to capitalize on your strengths and help you identify and move beyond unhelpful mental and behavioral patterns lurking in your blind spots. Rather than talk endlessly about your problems, we will instead use various empirically supported techniques to step back from your problems and explore new behavioral and belief options that better correspond to your key goals and values. Then you'll practice these new perspectives and strategies at home in your real life until they feel more natural. **Please phone me first as I do not always have daily email access.

Life is sometimes overwhelmingly heavy. The seemingly random moments of increased heart rate and shortness of breath. The feeling of drowning (and sometimes floating) that fogs your mind. The inability to make a clear decision - or to just get through things in a rush because you can’t think clearly anyway. The having to backtrack because “Wait..what just happened?” The lack of appetite and sleepless nights. The increased appetite and the deepest sleep after the tears. How much would you treasure having a clear mind again?
