Change is a part of living. It can be exciting but also anxiety-provoking. For over 20 years, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults not only to adapt to challenging life situations but to thrive and reach their potential for success and personal growth. Adults who were experiencing relationship issues, occupational stress, parenting challenges, ADHD, anxiety, and depression have found comfort, hope and support in therapy with me. Clients recognize my ability to help them move forward in their lives at a pace that makes sense for who they are and the needs they have when entering therapy.

In my professional capacity as a licensed social worker and psychotherapist, I have had the honor to accompany persons of all ages and backgrounds in their quest for insight and self-discovery. I believe that trust and vulnerability are at the core of the client-therapist relationship and that the client’s innate wisdom and judgment rule supreme. With that in mind, strategies and interventions in achieving clearly defined yet dynamic goals arise through a process of critical inquiry. In this process, I have witnessed individuals redefine and recreate who they are as they move toward greater lucidity and self-fulfillment.

My ideal client is navigating life's stress and feeling stuck and unmotivated. They may be going through life changes, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and battling stress. They long to feel energized, confident, and in harmony with their mind and body. This client recognizes the need for change, understanding their current path is unsustainable and yearns for a fulfilling, healthful life. They seek not just a coach but a partner on their journey toward a happier, healthier existence. Their goals include mental clarity, emotional balance, and holistic health — a state of physical vitality where they don’t survive, but thrive.

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.
