I primarily help people who are suffering with either (or both!) Insomnia Disorder and PTSD. However I have many years of experience as a therapist and am able to treat depression, anxiety, chronic pain, along with co-occuring substance use disorder and other mental health disorders. I believe in delivering evidence based therapy when clinically indicated. In my experience, clients feel better sooner when they receive the most effective treatment for their diagnosis. I also use a lot of measurement based care to routinely assess progress we are making. My ideal client is someone who is ready to enact change in their life.
I have specialty training in CBT for Insomnia as well as delivering evidence based therapy for PTSD in a "massed" format where instead of seeing me once a week for 3 to 4 months, I would see you multiple times a week for a shorter duration. There is evidence that massed PTSD treatment reduces the risk of dropout and clients get better faster.
I am routinely amazed by the resilience, strength and capacity for growth we have as human beings. I applaud you for researching opportunities to make change happen in your life and I would be honored to be a part of that process.

Insomnia treatment will target conditioned arousal to the bed, increase your sleep drive, challenge your thoughts about your sleep, and promote relaxation techniques to allow sleep to naturally unfold. PTSD treatment will directly target avoidance either through exposure exercises that are gradual yet life-changing, and challenging your thoughts and beliefs about the trauma.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

  • CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia)
  • Cognitive Processing (CPT)
  • Prolonged Exposure Therapy
"
The evidence based therapy I provide is usually time limited. With CBT-I we can usually achieve a dramatic improvement in sleep in about 6 sessions. Prolonged Exposure is typically around 10 sessions and Cognitive Processing Therapy is about 12 sessions total. For clients wanting to get significant symptom reduction in a short period of time, I recommend "massed" CPT or PE.
