If trying to sleep has become something you dread—lying awake with a racing mind, watching the clock, bracing for another day of exhaustion—you’re not alone. And more importantly: you don’t have to keep living this way.

I’m a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping people break free from patterns that feel impossible to change. I love helping people overcome insomnia and offer a collaborative, compassionate, and structured approach that’s backed by decades of research. Whether sleep is your main struggle or part of a larger picture of anxiety, stress,, or life transition, we’ll work together to understand what’s keeping you stuck and gently shift the thoughts and habits that are standing in the way of a good night's sleep.

CBT-I is a short-term treatment that helps you rebuild trust in your ability to sleep. We’ll focus on improving sleep efficiency, easing the worry that builds around bedtime, and creating lasting changes that support deep, restorative rest—not just now, but for the long run.

Sessions are available via secure telehealth in over 40 states through PSYPACT, as well as in person in Arlington, VA. I tailor this work to fit your life—because rest shouldn’t feel like one more thing on your to-do list.

It’s possible to look forward to bedtime again. You can feel like yourself again. I’d be honored to help you get there.
