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'm currently accepting new telehealth clients throughout the state of Virginia. Please note tha ...
