Does it ever feel like you're stuck in a loop of wanting to achieve things but running out of motivation or energy before you can follow through—even on the things that matter most to you? Maybe mornings feel like an uphill battle, leaving you drained before your day even gets started. Or perhaps you're dealing with a cloud of sadness or frustration, unsure of how to move forward? If any of this resonates with you, I want you to know you're not alone. I specialize in helping people break free from these patterns, offering support for sleep struggles, navigating the challenges of ADHD, and finding emotional balance.

My many years working in sleep medicine and a medical setting, combined with my training and experience as a clinical psychologist, puts me in a unique position to help you explore how the physical, emotional, and thinking parts of you can create an imbalance inside.
I have always been amazed by nature’s resilience to revive itself when adversity creates setbacks and its capability to thrive even in harsh conditions. Nature possesses the critical balance of the many elements necessary for sustainability. As humans, we also have the capacity to overcome setbacks. I often work with individuals who suffer from various problems, such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, stress, or even adjustment to living with a chronic illness. They are often looking for a way to find balance and move forward in their lives.

Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, past traumas, sleep problems, chronic pain, or feel held back by any other issues, I am here to help you work past them.
Most people come to therapy having dealt with their problems alone for a long time. The first thing you will notice about therapy is that you are not alone anymore. We will start working together to develop a plan that can make your life what you want it to be. My practice is dedicated to helping you gain control over the difficult things in your life, gain an understanding of how different experiences have impacted you, and help you become the person that you have always wanted to be. Peace, control, and understanding are all possible. You are not alone, you are not damaged, or broken; you are human.

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.
