Sleep touches everything — your mood, your focus, your ability to handle stress. When sleep breaks down, it can feel like the rest of your life starts unraveling too. That's why I built my practice around helping people reclaim their sleep without medication. Trained at Johns Hopkins and Stanford University's SHIIP program, I bring both clinical rigor and genuine warmth to every session. My approach is collaborative and structured: we'll actively reshape the habits, thoughts, and routines working against you. Sleep problems rarely exist in isolation, so I'm also equipped to address the anxiety, stress, and overwhelm that come along for the ride. Ready to stop dreading bedtime? I'd love to help.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Feminist Therapy Addresses how gender roles, power, and social inequality affect mental health. It empowers clients to challenge limiting beliefs and systems.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
Approach Description: My primary specialty is CBT-I — a focused, structured form of cognitive behavioral therapy designed specifically for insomnia. Unlike general talk therapy, CBT-I follows a clear protocol: we identify exactly what's maintaining your sleep problem and systematically change it. I also draw on broader CBT techniques, mindfulness-based strategies, and the Unified Protocol to help clients who are dealing with anxiety, avoidance, or emotional overwhelm alongside their sleep issues. This combination means we can address what's happening at night without ignoring what's happening during the day. Every session has a clear purpose, and you'll leave with something concrete to work on — not just insights, but actual tools.

Grey Wellness is a virtual private practice based in Maryland, built around one core belief: better sleep changes everything. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the gold-standard, medication-free treatment for chronic sleep problems. CBT-I is recommended as the first-line treatment by the American College of Physicians, and most people who complete it see lasting improvement within 6 to 8 weeks.
If you've been lying awake at night watching the clock, relying on sleep aids just to get through, or waking up feeling like you never really rested — you're not broken, and this is fixable. CBT-I works by addressing the specific thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that keep insomnia going, rather than masking the problem with medication.
Here's what working with me typically looks like: We start with a thorough assessment of your sleep history, habits, and any contributing factors like anxiety or stress. From there, we build a personalized plan that may include sleep scheduling, stimulus control, relaxation training, and cognitive restructuring — all tailored to fit your actual life. I track progress with you week by week so we can adjust as we go.
I also work with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, and chronic stress — issues that frequently overlap with sleep difficulties. My clinical training at Johns Hopkins University and ongoing consultation through Stanford University inform a structured, evidence-based approach that still leaves room for the human side of therapy. I want our sessions to feel both productive and comfortable.
Sessions are conducted entirely online via secure video, and I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. Grey Wellness is a private-pay practice, which means no insurance limitations on session length, frequency, or treatment duration — just focused, individualized care on your terms.
If sleep has become a source of stress rather than rest, I'd welcome the chance to help you turn that around.
