Anxiety & Sleeplessness Fear, insomnia, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives.

Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger after post-traumatic events. We work together through these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
There is an intake process through grow, and I also ask you specifically for your goals for therapy. In the client centered CBT model I believe the client drives the bus, and I as a therapist assist with some options for paths forward toward the client driven goal.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My main theory is cognitive behavioral therapy, we think about our thinking, review our behaviors and make small changes to work towards your best life. I offer many options on your journey, ultimately you make the decisions on what you want to change. I encourage and challenge you to decide what is feasible to work on each week. Sometimes that is a focus of self-care, sometimes that is a harder task or assignment but you set the tone for what you need to accomplish in therapy.
