About My Clients
I work with adults throughout Washington who are struggling with chronic insomnia, including trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, waking too early, or worrying about sleep. I specialize in CBT-I and offer practical, supportive treatment to help you get back to sleeping better. I also have extensive experience working with parents who are looking for support with parenting challenges, family relationships, and the everyday stresses of raising children.
My Background and Approach
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), an evidence-based treatment for chronic insomnia. I’ve also spent 15 years working with children, parents, and families, helping parents navigate challenging family dynamics, parenting concerns, and relationships. My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. I want therapy to be a place where you can be honest about what’s going on without feeling judged, while also having a clear sense of what we’re working toward. With CBT-I, I use a structured, evidence-based approach while taking your individual circumstances and concerns into account. With parenting and family concerns, I draw from family systems and attachment-based approaches to help you understand what’s happening and find realistic ways forward.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy should be a place where you can be honest about what’s really going on, without having to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. I value honesty, curiosity, and treating people with respect and compassion, while also being willing to have direct conversations when they’re needed. I don’t believe there is one right way to be a parent, a partner, or a person. Families are complicated, and sometimes the things that worked for you in the past no longer fit your life now. I believe understanding where patterns come from can help you make different choices without blaming yourself or anyone else. Clients have described me as authentic, straightforward, and supportive. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood and where we can also do meaningful, practical work together.
