Areas of Specialization
-
Anxiety and stress can leave you feeling stuck, and like your mind and body are working against you. You may feel a sense of overwhelm or lack of control, especially during moments when you’re under the most pressure to perform or to project calm.

I have extensive expertise working with people facing chronic and/or serious medical conditions, including cancer, insomnia, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, gastrointestinal conditions, and long COVID, to name a few. You and your loved ones may be still seeking a diagnosis, newly diagnosed, figuring out or living with treatments, managing on-going symptoms (like pain or fatigue), or any combination of these. I understand that living with or after a medical concern is personal, dynamic, and on-going.
-
Are you having difficulty getting to sleep or trouble staying asleep? Are you waking up too early in the morning and unable to fall back asleep? Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, or CBT-I, is an effective, structured, non-medication treatment. It is considered a first line treatment for this common sleep disorder. CBT-I entails looking closely at your thoughts about sleep and your sleep behaviors to promote better sleep.

You may be newly diagnosed with cancer, currently going through initial or maintenance treatments, recovering from treatments, working to move forward after cancer diagnosis and treatment, living with cancer as a chronic or recurrent condition, or any combination of these.
-
While so much care is focused on one person, a medical concern also greatly impacts those who love and care for them. While these challenging times can bring depth and closeness to your relationship, you may also be struggling to adjust to new roles and caregiving demands.
