If you're saying "I can't sleep!", I can help. Enjoy restorative sleep & vital days. Maybe you've had insomnia for years - it's still fixable. We can change the habit of lying awake, worrying, watching the clock - insomnia can be resolved w-out drugs. Sadly, many professionals prescribe drugs (don't work long-term) or "sleep hygiene," which won't fix chronic insomnia. Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia is a short-term treatment - 6-10 sessions. Trauma-related nightmares can also be treated in just 5 sessions, allowing more sleep, fewer PTSD symptoms. During flu/covid season, I'm online only.

Anxiety, depression, fogginess, poor sleep, symptoms associated with PTSD, ADD and more can all block you from feeling your best and is frustrating and can feel hopeless at times.
Do you feel like you are surviving your life and not creating it? Have you felt stuck and unable to access who you know inside, you truly are? There are many things that prevent us from showing up fully. Often times it is our physiology that is driving the bus, and not what we think or that we are not trying. Think about when we live too much in the past or are fearful of the future, this can block us. Or, no matter what you try or medication you take, you just can't sleep, which creates a cascade of problems from inattention to reactivity, to an inability to be present with those we love. Each of us deserves a life of joy.

The anxieties and worries that constantly invade our mind can be incredibly difficult to live with. We often respond to this by either trying to be superficially positive and “pushing through” or we become regularly overwhelmed by waves of anxiety, panic and chronic stress. If you’ve gotten to a point where the frustration and anguish of anxiety, disruption of sleep and ineffective ways of dealing with those things have reached a crisis point, let’s work together on coming up with new, more effective responses that can tangibly change and improve your life in an ongoing and ultimately fulfilling way.

“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” -Brene Brown- Life oftentimes feels so overwhelming and is accompanied by emotions that can be confusing and feel out of control. Thankfully, we don’t have to face the storms of life alone. I believe that connection with others and with ourselves is one of the most core components of the healing journey. I consider it a great honor to walk alongside those willing to share their stories, no matter how messy it may seem.

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.
