Whether you are struggling with chronic illness, sleep deprivation or your child is not performing at school due to behavioral concerns, I am here to guide and support your journey in finding complete health (mind, body, and spirit) that will guide you to the life you were created to live!.
Where do I begin? How often have we found ourselves battling with this question? So much of our time and energy is centered among all the wrong things transpiring in our world. We often can’t even touch base with a glimpse of hope because worry, anxiety, fear, and distress suffocate our existence. When asked the question, “How are you today?” have you ever felt the weight of so much despair that you can rarely designate one response to fulfill the depths and brutal truth of, “not good.” Well, you’re not alone.

We assume that childhood is a carefree happy time but for some children and teens, anxiety robs them of this joy. If your child can't sleep alone, is afraid to try new things or can't tolerate mistakes, they may be struggling with anxiety. If your teen avoids social events, struggles to go to school or worries incessantly about other's opinions, their worries may be overwhelming them. Even overachievers who look like they have everything under control may be stressed by their perfectionism or need to please others. Some kids develop rituals in response to obsessions or compulsions. If this sounds like your child, I can help!

Life is a funny thing. And often terribly complicated. During our journey in this world, we often face challenges that can feel too big or ongoing. Whether it’s with chronic feelings of anxiousness, depression, emptiness, issues about sexual orientation, gender, or ethnicity, relationship conflict, sleep disturbances, substance misuse, school or work issues, or any combination of those, many of us struggle silently. But you don't have to. It can help to work with a therapist with a deep understanding of what it’s like with some of those struggles and who is passionate about helping others learn to thrive despite these adversities.

What if I told you this feeling is normal as life has a funny way of soliciting a myriad of unwarranted and unrecognizable emotions while navigating the everyday stressors of life. While everyone's experiences are different, there appears to be this shared commonality amongst the human race during which at some point, you experience increase worry, decreased motivation, unexpected changes of mood, fluctuating energy levels, and changes with your sleep and appetite.

If sleep is a basic human function, why is it so damn difficult? We hear all the time the dangers associated with not sleeping the magical eight hours each night. For those of us for whom sleep does not come easily, those messages do nothing but reinforce fear and anxiety. Hours laying awake wondering if we’ll ever sleep lead to more anxiety and sleeplessness. We relive the day: what mistakes did I make because I was too tired to think clearly? We think through the next day’s responsibilities: what can I get away with canceling? Medications only work short-term, if at all. Will the bed ever be more than a torture chamber?

Sleep or Insomnia Therapists

How effective is treatment for insomnia?

The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?

There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?

There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?

Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
