Do you dread going to bed because you struggle to sleep?
I consider all aspects of a person to balance mind, body, and emotions to create harmony and heal. Trauma and grief can be held deep within ourselves and affect our nervous systems and sleep. By targeting distressing thoughts, easing into accepting uncomfortable emotions, and learning to trust our bodies again, we’ll work on releasing grief and trauma.

You may be moving through a time when the ground feels uncertain, when old meanings or parts of your identity have fallen away, and the new ones are not yet clear. After loss, shame, or struggle, it’s natural to feel stuck, weighed down, or alone. At the same time, a quiet part of you may be longing for clarity, connection, and the gentle strength to begin again.
Your story matters.
Even if right now you feel it doesn’t. Even if life feels heavy and uncertain. I believe in every person’s potential to grow and to create new possibilities.

Many of the people I work with look “functional” on the outside but feel tense, frustrated, or disconnected on the inside. You might be carrying a lot of anger or anxiety, struggling with shame, or noticing the same patterns show up in your relationships no matter how hard you try to change them. Therapy can be a place to slow this down: to understand what’s actually driving these patterns and to build more steady, honest ways of relating to yourself and others.

Not all grief is immediately visible or fully recognized by others. Some forms of loss may be minimized or go unacknowledged, which can make the experience feel especially isolating. These may include: loss of a pet, a bond that can be deeply meaningful; changes in health or physical ability, including recovery from motor vehicle accidents; the end of a relationship; and major life transitions.
All of these experiences are valid, and support is available to help you navigate them with compassion, understanding, and care.

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors
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.
