US State - Clinical License: California: CA
If you’re having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or both—I can help.
I'm licensed in California and Florida, and have a PSYPACT license, allowing me to work with clients who live in most other U.S. states.
As a specialist in insomnia, I provide you with a clear understanding of how sleep works, how insomnia develops, and how to finally get past it. Whether you’ve struggled with sleep for 3 weeks or 30+ years, you can sleep well again.
I will help you to implement powerful changes to your sleep behaviors, and key shifts in your thinking, to break the pattern of poor sleep, eliminate sleep anxiety, and restore quality sleep. I can help you get off sleep aids (including medications and over the counter remedies) even if you’ve been taking them for years.
I have the uni ...
