My clients are adults in Washington or Massachusetts caught in OCD's reassurance-seeking cycle, ADHD's daily execution gap, or a trauma response that talk therapy alone hasn't resolved — often after trying general therapy without real traction. Many are also LGBTQ+ and tired of explaining that part of themselves before the real work starts. I treat OCD and anxiety with ERP, trauma with Lifespan Integration, and ADHD with strategies built around how your brain actually works, not generic advice. Sessions are virtual, LGBTQ+-affirming by default, matched to the specific tool your situation needs.

Accepting New Clients — I work with people navigating grief and loss, caregiver stress and burnout, chronic illness, and the emotional weight of a new diagnosis or major health change — often while quietly holding everything together for everyone but themselves.
My path to counseling began in a medical clinic, where I saw how closely emotional and physical health connect. That experience, along with my hospice care work, shapes my mind-body, trauma-informed approach. Together we create a calm space to process what you're carrying, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with steadiness and self-compassion.

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.
