Do you feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger or defeat, as a result of a significant life change or past trauma? Maybe a relationship has ended or a new phase of life has just begun. Perhaps you’re living with the long-term effects of abuse, pain, or other traumatic experience. You may feel out of control and unsafe of your life or emotions, anxious about even the smallest things, or like you just can’t find your footing. Eventually, these things start to overflow into other areas of life: your relationships, work, and decisions about the future. Despite how hard things are right now, you know there’s more to life than this.

Everything is different now. Since your cancer diagnosis, your entire life has been turned upside down. The future that once felt so bright and full of potential now seems dark and frightening. Not long ago, your schedule was packed with dinners, dates, and vacations. Now, your calendar is all doctor appointments and hospital visits. The physical exhaustion and side effects of treatment pale in comparison to the emotional toll. You’re constantly wracked with fear over your illness. Loved ones offer support, but they don’t understand what you’re going through. You wonder if you’re going to feel this scared and lost forever.

Are you ready for a change, but struggling to make it happen? Whether you're feeling stuck in your personal growth or your relationship, change can feel daunting and overwhelming. It's easy to get lost in self-doubt, asking, "What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I do things like others?" The truth is, we all face challenges and sometimes need a new perspective to get unstuck.

I am here to tell you, you are not broken, even if your mind may tell you so. When we are anxious or in despair, we can’t think straight or engage our usual survival strategies. It can impact our health, body, emotions, relationships, perception of self and reality. We can't make sense of the distorted thoughts alone. We need a therapist to help guide us. I often help young women who are feeling shy, anxious, obsessive, depressed, struggling with perfectionism or life transitions. I enjoy helping girls and women achieve developmentally appropriate social-emotional, verbal and non-verbal communication skills.

Are you rocking that 'got-it-together' facade, but deep down you're really falling apart? You're not alone. Life's throwing punches, and the struggle is real. You're seeking direction and clarity, but you feel stuck, caught in self-doubt, and trapped in "stay or leave" dilemmas. The uncertainty is unsettling and you start questioning everything about your relationship…and yourself. Whether it's your marriage, career, or the sheer weight of everything around you—I get it. It's like having a hundred tabs open in your mind at once, making it hard to think straight and perform as you envision. You're exhausted. It's time for a change.

Sleep problems require specialized treatment. A board-certified sleep psychologist, I work with adults, teens, kids, and families to improve sleep naturally. I help those who struggle to turn off their minds at night, are wide awake at odd hours, or feel unrefreshed in the morning. Many are sleepy all day but can't drift off at bedtime. I help those with distressing nightmares or vivid dreams and those who behave unusually while sleeping. Many are taking a variety of medications, substances, or supplements that aren't working as well, and I help these individuals sleep better and reduce reliance on sleep aids if that is their goal.

I won’t pretend to know what brought you here today, because I believe we are more nuanced than our struggles and what can be described in a few sentences or paragraphs. Life looks different for everyone, and so does therapy. That's why I meet my clients with curiosity, openness, compassion, and dashes of humor.
