I am a psychotherapist specialized in helping people with anxiety and sleep issues. I have over 10 years of experience supporting clients with both solution-focused, brief coaching and consultations, as well as longer-term therapy. I meet clients where they are and my style is collaborative. I've co-authored 3 books on sleep, parenting, and empathic communication, and have written articles for publications like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Atlantic.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In the first session, I do a lot of listening and gathering information. I want to understand your goals, whether they relate to career, improving relationships, feeling better, sleeping better -- My job is to help you reach those goals. If we're working on sleep, I ask a lot of questions about your daily routines, as well as what kinds of thoughts and feelings you have around sleep, so we can unlock the solution and map out a treatment course. I listen carefully, so I know how to individualize my recommendations. Depending on the situation, I may use CBT-I, which is the research-backed treatment for insomnia.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

It's a priority for me to create a non-judgmental and open space for my clients.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Adolescents (ages 12 and older) and adults. I can help with anxiety, life transitions such as parenthood, the perimenopause/menopause transition and trouble sleeping.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is an evidence-based, short-term program - typically six to eight weekly sessions - to improve sleep. CBT-I consistently outperforms sleeping pills in both the short and long term, improving sleep onset, total sleep time, and next-day functioning. I have worked with clients on sleep for many years, and am currently in an ongoing CBT-I training program through Stanford University.
