You’re tired of replaying conversations in your head after every social interaction. You feel awkward every time you speak and worry that everyone is judging you. You decline invitations and activities for fear that you will say or do something foolish. The thought of speaking up at work or at school makes you feel physically ill and panicked. You know you are missing out on so much, but you just don’t know how to quiet this constantly nagging voice in your head. You're worried this will never get better and that nobody understands how you feel.

My ideal clients are adults or couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, or life transitions—whether it’s a career shift, relationship change, or simply feeling stuck in their life choices. They often want to understand themselves better, develop healthier coping strategies, and regain a sense of control and peace. Many of my clients appear to “have it all together” on the outside but feel overwhelmed or unfulfilled on the inside. They’re ready for a safe space to pause, reflect, and create meaningful change in their lives.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck, overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by past experiences, trapped by feeling low, is volatile at times, uses substances to cope…and is interested in exploring ways to feel better. The idea of making difficult changes sparks feelings of ambivalence. My ideal client need not be “ready” for change but is at least open to the idea. This person is looking for human connection and is willing to consider strategies to aid in reducing suffering and improving mental health.

It's time to live the life you want to live - and decide what that life looks like. I see adolescents and young adults (13-35) and specialize in anxiety, LGBTQIA+ issues (including identity and family conflict), eating disorders, and chronic illness. Sometimes this might mean learning and practicing new skills to help you manage problems and obstacles; other times it may mean really exploring within yourself. Frequently, it means recognizing that negative thought patterns are getting in your way - and we can work together to find individualized solutions for you!

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.
