Struggling with insomnia, anxiety, or depression?

I use a little known approach called CBT-I for Insomnia treatment. Together, we'll build practical skills to help you sleep better, break unhelpful patterns, and move toward a life that feels more meaningful. But you don't need to have insomnia to see me. I'm a goal-focused therapist who believes lasting change happens one step at a time. Progress isn't about perfection—it's about continuing to move forward, one step at a time.
