I am a clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of insomnia and poor-quality sleep, with training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) through the University of Pennsylvania and specialized training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Insomnia (ACT-I). I have worked across hospital, rehabilitation, and outpatient settings with adults whose sleep difficulties are closely connected to anxiety, medical conditions, life transitions, and other emotional challenges. My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative, with a strong focus on gentle, concrete tools that support better sleep.

I integrate CBT-I with ACT-I to tailor treatment to your unique experience, including how you relate to wakefulness, worry, and the effort to control sleep. Along the way, I also incorporate relaxation strategies and practical sleep hygiene recommendations that are realistic and sustainable.

While insomnia deserves treatment in its own right, it occurs within the context of the whole person. I also provide evidence-based therapy for anxiety, stress, and major life transitions using CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is a guiding framework in my work, helping you step back from anxious or self-critical thoughts, make room for uncomfortable emotions, and respond more intentionally. We’ll also clarify what matters most to you—your values and the kind of person you want to be—so you can take practical steps forward, even during difficult times.
