Hello, I'm thrilled to extend a warm welcome and introduce myself and my practice. Holding a master's in counseling and a bachelor's in psychology, I've dedicated 15 years to the mental health field. For a decade, my expertise has centered on assisting youth and young adults with disabilities. Specialties include addressing insomnia, ADHD, chronic illnesses, and aiding the adjustment to disabilities. Together, we can embark on a journey to improved health, enhanced sleep quality, and a brighter future.

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

In the first session, clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental environment where we'll discuss their goals, concerns, and any questions they have. We'll collaborate to establish a therapeutic plan tailored to their needs, ensuring they feel heard, supported, and empowered to begin their journey towards positive change.

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

My extensive experience and knowledge in CBTI ensure that you receive evidence-based, tailored treatment to address your unique sleep challenges. I empathize with the emotional complexities that chronic illnesses bring and will work with you to enhance your overall well-being, empowering you with resilience and coping strategies.
