I am a psychotherapist and sleep specialist. I have over 10 years of experience helping people with both solution-focused, brief coaching and consultations, as well as longer-term in depth 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.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, I do a lot of listening and gathering information. This is so I can understand the factors that are impacting your sleep. Some of these will be recent changes and others may be long-standing. I listen carefully, so I know how to individualize my treatment recommendations. I ask a lot of questions about your daily routines, as well as what kinds of thoughts and patterns you have around sleep, so we can unlock the solution and map out a treatment course.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

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

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Adolescents (ages 12 and older) and adults. I can help with difficulty falling asleep, waking in the night, insomnia, and adolescent sleep troubles.
