You’re exhausted but can’t turn your brain off at night. Maybe you lie awake replaying to-do lists, worrying about what’s ahead, or counting the hours you have left to sleep. Some nights you fall asleep quickly, other nights you’re still wide awake at 2 a.m. You’re tired of tossing, turning, and dragging through your days. I’m a health psychologist who helps people break the cycle between stress, poor sleep, and health problems.

At the same time, health issues can affect your mood, motivation, and daily habits — leaving you stuck in a frustrating loop. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) ...

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in helping people sleep better. I tailor CBTI-I to your needs by taking into account what works for your specific nervous system. This can include addressing a mind that won't turn off, a body that feels panicky or on high alert, or feeling awake for no known reason at all. I also offer general therapy incorporating CBT, somatic, and psychodynamic approaches for anyone who overthinks, overanalyzes, and has trouble "shutting off their brain" - whether it's day or night. You can choose to do CBT-I only, general psychotherapy only, or some combination of the two. Reach out for a free consultation and we can discuss what might work best for you. I'm currently accepting new telehealth clients throughout the state of Virginia. Please note tha ...

Sleep disruption is unfortunately very common. However, it is also very treatable. I utilize evidence-based treatments to address insomnia and related issues such as nightmares and sleep-related anxiety. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI), Brief Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia (BBTI), and treatments for nightmare disorder. After getting to know you and your goals, we can collaboratively choose a treatment that makes sense for you. Some of the most dramatic improvements I've seen have been in Veterans who resolved 40+ years of insomnia after just a handful of treatment sessions. And unsurprisingly, many other areas of life improve quickly once sleep improves. I have been providing CBTI for over 10 years, having completed my training and certification wi ...
