I'll work together with you on building new skills and learning new thought patterns. I work on the premise that patterns in our lives are changed by trying new skills both during our sessions and during the week--practice makes progress!

talk about patterns that you'd like to change--whether you can't sleep, having chronic nightmares, or have daytime anxiety--and we'll have techniques and step-by-step plans that we follow to help you feel better faster.

authentic, non-judgmental, and helpful in learning new skills.

experience sleep issues and anxiety--with sleep, I work with people who have experienced ongoing challenges with falling or staying asleep, or have had their sleep disrupted by chronic nightmares. I also work with people who have sleep apnea and are trying to adjust to their CPAP machines. I also work with people who experience various forms of anxiety.

I became especially interested in in how our brains change based off of what we do and how we think. This led me to practice cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which helps people learn new skills and change their brain's default modes of processing. I find these action and brain changes to be exciting!

My goal is for your life to change. You'll not only work with me in sessions, but also complete activities in between our appointments to improve your life more rapidly. Clients who enjoy working with me tend to want therapy that focuses on taking action, and find that they benefit from their out-of-session therapy "homework" that they do between sessions.
