These treatments are effective for anxiety, sleep disorders, trauma, and life transitions.
An increasing amount of people are experiencing stress, anxiety, and other uncomfortable emotions regarding the current state of our world. Now more than ever, it is especially important to take care of our emotional health as well as our physical.

Most importantly, I focus on building a strong therapeutic bond with each of my clients through curiosity, understanding, and compassion.

I offer supportive therapy as well as specialty treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), CBT-i (CBT for insomnia; very effective!), and clinical hypnosis (including well-researched gut-directed hypnosis for GI issues such as IBS).
I help people get clear on what they want out of life, figure out what's getting in the way, and overcome those obstacles to achieve the lives they want. I work collaboratively and actively with my clients to increase their sense of power to make their own decisions and the resources to act on those decisions. My background and perspective can be particularly useful when working with clients who are high achievers, or who think of themselves as anxious, introverted, shy, and/or neurodivergent, and will use a number of proactive approaches to help.

I have been a child & adolescent therapist for 49yrs., & I enjoy my work greatly. I also work with parents who want advice and guidance about parenting skills. Children can change much faster than adults, and that is why I love working with young people. I try to support their strengths, encourage their creativity, relate to them with warmth and humor. I also work with parents with children, and with parents with teens if teens want me to. I like the challenge of connecting with both children and teens, ages 4 to 20. Connecting requires intuition and open-heartedness.

As a queer occupational therapist, I take a "build your own" approach to therapy that is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a belief that our bodies are deeply connected to our sense of self and our experience of the world around us. Disruptions in those connections can lead to many painful experiences, so repairing the body-self relationship is often part of the work my clients and I do together. I use your specific experiences rather than labels to guide my approach, so in each session I draw from sources like IFS, bodywork practices, relational theories, and a range of experiential modalities to find the best fit I can for you.

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.
