Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Carlsbad, CA

I guide and support clients to manage worry, anxiety, and stress. As well, I help individuals with sleep problems to fall asleep, stay asleep, and feel refreshed in the morning. I am an interactive, cognitive behavioral clinical psychologist. I have been formally trained in cognitive behavioral therapy for the treatment of insomnia. My therapeutic approach is to provide supportive treatment with practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client.

Medication not working? Feeling stressed, afraid, and out of balance can rob you of your vitality and can prevent you from reaching your full potential in life. Many situations in our lives can lead us to feel this way whether it be the result of a traumatic event, a significant loss in life, and/or our habits, behaviors, attitudes, and emotions. Experiencing these stressors can be overwhelming at times, especially if trying to manage them alone. If you find yourself at this particular place in your life, I would welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you while we work together to find healing.

I base my clinical work on a deep empathy and the belief that all people have an innate ability to self-heal and change. In a calming, safe atmosphere, we partner together to help you foster a better sense of balance, meaning, and control in your life.

Safety and trust are critical to feel comfortable in therapy. Choosing the right psychologist for you is important. My approach is a team approach where we work together. I can best help you if we are on the same page with one another. Your personal comfort is one of the most important factors for us to achieve successful teamwork, and for you to feel better. We choose your goals together to maximize your results. We can also partner with your medical doctor(s). Let's problem solve together and find some tools to create a personalized "coping skills" toolbox.

Therapy is an opportunity to resolve and recover from life’s most difficult experiences. The therapeutic process can help you align your emotions and behaviors with the balance you seek in your life. Whether you regularly witness traumatic scenes or situations, have been exposed to a single traumatic event, or are struggling with the long-term effects of an earlier trauma, I can equip you with the practical tools to enhance your overall recovery and increase your quality of life. Treatment can help improve sleep, concentration, intimacy, family connection, and overall feelings of safety.

Worry, stress, and poor sleep have become all too familiar. Maybe a sense of hopelessness, helplessness or just feeling stuck are common thoughts. You may be in a marriage or relationship that has become increasingly more difficult, more conflicted, less loving and passionate, and you are wondering if you should stay, go, or if anything can change. You’ve set goals, you’ve given yourself pep talks, you’ve promised yourself you’ll change, but it’s not working. Usually, you can snap out of it, but this feels different. Often these challenges feel all consuming, and having a trusted and qualified person walk alongside you is helpful.

I enjoy working with individuals who are eager to find new ways to meet challenges more effectively, particularly life transitions, healing from trauma, and recovery from anxiety, insomnia, and stress. Treatment is often short-term, focused on a few central goals, and aimed at increasing both individual well-being and interpersonal effectiveness. Often the work involves cultivation of mindful awareness, compassion, non-judgment, and kindness. In a collaborative, respective process, we learn when change-oriented skill-building is needed and when acceptance-oriented skill-building is called for to enhance the client's well-being.

Hi! I am a Clinical Psychologist offering therapy services to women in Arizona, California, and all participating PsyPact States. I offer support during transitions related to early career, relationships/family, pregnancy/postpartum, and early parenthood years. Many clients report experiencing increased stress or uncertainty during these transitions, and may describe periods of low mood, worry/nervousness, sleep problems, irritability, guilt, or grief/loss.

My experience of working successfully with many hundreds of clients who feared their lives were out of control, and who were able to achieve better lives, makes me very confident and optimistic about the resiliency of the human spirit!

I specialize in EMDR intensive therapy. I believe in fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel empowered on their journey towards well-being. I understand that seeking help can be challenging, and I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where clients can feel comfortable expressing themselves and exploring their concerns.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.
