Could you imagine what it would be like no longer having intrusive upsetting thoughts, no more second guessing if you are making the right decision, no more playing all the scenarios in your head and being able to sleep through an entire night? I use evidence-based treatment to help you conquer anxiety for good.
Currently accepting new clients! If anxiety has been part of your life for as long as you can remember and you want to learn how to manage it, I may be a good fit for you. Are you feeling overwhelmed and unable to stop the worries in your head? Experiencing panic attacks that leave you worried about the next time one happens.

Using science-based techniques, I can help you develop the tools you need to sleep easier, feel less overwhelmed, and more in control.
Have you gone from living a full life to feeling yourself exhausted and lying awake every night, obsessively focused and out of control with food and eating, overwhelmed by stress, sidelined by chronic pain or a serious medical diagnosis. You have tried "cure" after "cure" and yet nothing has improved. Maybe you’re nervous about seeking help for your struggles.

You do not fit into the mold of a typical therapy client. People who know you would say you have it all figured out and are living the good life. People close to you may even say that you "don't need therapy." Yet, your busy lifestyle comes with a great deal of stress, and maybe even loneliness. People in your circle would never guess, but you might have a trauma that nags at you, despite your best efforts. Underneath your exterior of success and confidence, there are troubled nights where you cannot relax and get a good night's sleep, leading to increased burnout. You deserve a skilled therapist who understands and accepts you.

As a Certified Herbalist and Specialist in Nutritional & Integrative Medicine, I provide practical and holistic strategies to enhance focus, mood, sleep, and behavior by addressing the link between gut health and brain function.
We are more than just our thoughts. I create a safe environment for you to explore your past and reshape your narrative, embracing the mind-body-spirit connection. Many clients I work with are struggling with the effects of childhood and relational trauma, which may include anxiety, fear of abandonment, difficulty setting boundaries, and low self-esteem. This type of trauma can result from neglect, abuse, betrayal, or abandonment, and it deeply affects a person's ability to form healthy, secure attachments with others later in life.

Life can be difficult and there are so many things that happen to us that are out of our control when things happen externally it affects us in a negative way internally. Sometimes it may not even be our circumstances but our thoughts and negative distortions that have manifested over the years and are causing us extreme distress and an inability to be able to cope with everyday life. When this becomes our reality we often feel powerless to change. I have a passion to walk alongside individuals to offer support and encouragement by creating a safe space where you feel heard and valued.

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.
