Are you on the struggle bus?

  • It’s hard to fall or stay asleep because your brain won’t shut off

    You’ve heard all about sleep hygiene and tried it all but insomnia is still kicking your butt

    Maybe nightmares keep showing up and make you start dreading going to bed

    Perhaps you’ve been prescribed a PAP machine for sleep apnea and it’s not going well

    Or your body’s desired sleep schedule doesn’t match with your real-world obligation schedule

  • And you are stressed, overwhelmed, worried or burned out (maybe all of it!) over life transitions, medical problems, caregiver stress, community grief, or tough job situations

    Maybe you know you need to accept the changes in your life but feel stuck in grief and loss, remembering how life was before

    You may feel stuck with how to connect with your life in meaningful ways in this chapter, and how to choose you instead of continuing to prioritize everything and everyone else

  • Like overthinking is a superpower you never asked for, and yet you have it

    You have solid and reasonable ideas about how to move your life forward in ways that matter but then your mind throws up a barrier or two (or 50, let’s be honest, once our minds get going, they sometimes don’t shut up)

  • You’ve tried some combination of these:

    • self help books

    • talking to friends

    • journaling

    • social media reels offering life hacks

    • apps you’ve seen that speak to your struggle

    and now you are considering trying therapy

How I can help

I provide goal-oriented, evidence-based therapy to help you move your life forward. And while I am a generalist and love working with adults with a wide range of challenges (including anxiety and depression), I also have a few areas of deeper specialty as detailed below.

  • I’m here to help get your sleep on a better track whether you need cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), imagery rehearsal therapy for repetitive traumatic nightmares (IRT), general guidance to optimize your sleep hygiene, or help adjusting to your sleep apnea machine.

  • Whether you are caregiving in your family, neighborhood, job, or broader community it can be A LOT to hold. I provide a safe supportive space to sort out your needs, set boundaries, and grieve any losses that are on this journey with you.

  • I can help you control the parts of your health that you can and accept the parts you cannot control (and not in a white knuckle/jaw clenching way, but in a free up space so you have room to be in your life in ways that matter to you way).

  • Don’t believe everything you think! Using acceptance and commitment therapy (okay, and a fair amount of snark) I can help you put you and what matters to you most back in the driver’s seat.

How it works

Let’s make this part easy.

It begins with a conversation.
