I’m a licensed family therapist in Washington.

I help people understand why sleep has become so difficult and make changes that can lead to more consistent restorative sleep.

How I approach this work

I pay attention to the patterns that develop around sleep and how they can contribute to insomnia, so we can understand what’s maintingn the problem and what needs to shift.

Insomnia isn’t simply about not getting enough sleep. Over time, worry about sleep, changes in sleep habits, spending more time in bed, and truing harder to sleep can all become part of the cycle.

My focus is on helping you understand this cycle and make targeted changes that allow your sleep system to work more naturally, rather than continuing to fight with sleep night after night.

What therapy with me is like

Sessions are collaborative, practical, and paced so you have room to understand what’s happening while making meaningful changes.

We’re not just talking about sleep. We’re looking at your sleep patterns, habits, and responses to difficult nights, and using evidence-based CBT-I strategies to help you rebuild more consistent sleep.

Other ways I help

I work with overwhelmed women who are dealing with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and chronic stress.

I provide parent coaching for parents who want more emotional connection and calm in their relationships with their children.
