Intrusive memories of horrible moments in your life can cause tremendous pain, and avoiding reminders of those memories can cause major disruption in your life. The idea of tolerating those memories can seem overwhelming, an impossible task. Prolonged exposure (PE) helps you process those memories and go into the world in a safe, supported way, so that the past no longer has a hold over you.

Whether it’s snakes, spiders, needles, driving, or something else entirely, phobias can shrink your world. We will work together to help you face whatever it is that you are fearing, collaboratively, at a pace that challenges you without leaving you alone in the struggle and helps you learn, from experience, that you can handle the fear.

Panic attacks feel like the most dangerous thing in the world, like you’re having a heart attack or some other horrible, dangerous physical experience. They can come out of nowhere, or maybe you’ve noticed specific triggers for your panic. Interoceptive exposure – slowly helping you get used to the physical sensations of your panic – can help you learn that these sensations are not dangerous. You will break free from fear and live the kind of life you deserve, without worrying about your panic.

When sleep is a struggle, everything is harder. Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) is the most effective treatment for chronic insomnia. This is more than mere sleep hygiene advice – we’ll work together to change your behaviors and beliefs around sleep to give you healthy, restful nights.
