Are sleepless nights and restless thoughts leaving you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed? Does it seem like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t get a good night’s sleep?

I focus my work at the intersection of sleep and mental health. If sleep isn’t restful, usually our mood, thinking, and day-to-day activities are affected. And vice versa–if we’re stressed or not feeling good, we may not be sleeping well. I can help you make changes to your sleep that will improve your mental health, and I can support you in managing your mental health so you can sleep better. No meds required--I only use cognitive and behavioral strategies that work.

Can't turn off your brain? Sleepless nights? Struggling with that feeling that you're never quite enough?
