Insomnia and Sleep Disorders

As a trained CBT-I therapist, I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, the first-line treatment recommended by the American College of Physicians for chronic sleep difficulties.

CBT-I helps you understand and improve your sleep patterns through education, relaxation techniques, and structured behavioral strategies designed to enhance sleep quality.

Trauma Therapy

I use evidence-based trauma therapies to help you process difficult experiences in a safe, supportive, and meaningful way.

Approaches such as Prolonged Exposure (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) can help reduce avoidance, work through painful memories, and shift beliefs that may be keeping you stuck. The goal is to help the past feel less present so you can move forward with greater confidence and freedom.

Anxiety Disorders

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, and related challenges. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies that target unhelpful thought patterns.

Treatment is tailored to your individual needs and may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and other evidence-based approaches. Together, we explore the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that maintain anxiety and identify ways to create meaningful change.

The right help through therapy

Through therapy, you will learn to:

  • calm the body’s stress response,
  • challenge unhelpful thought patterns,
  • and build coping skills that promote greater confidence and balance.

The goal is to help you feel more grounded, resilient, and in control—so that anxiety no longer dictates how you live your life.
