Are you feeling overwhelmed? Disconnected from life and loved ones? Do you feel as if you are moving on autopilot, or lost, finding it hard to understand what you want or need?

Together we can work to find balance amid the multifaceted roles and responsibilities - family, relationships, career, school, work, daily life, and/or society.

Are you looking for someone who will listen deeply and work with you to help understand your struggles and find ways to ease your suffering? I believe each person has core gifts, strengths, and values that can become harder to access because of the demands of work, caregiving, painful life experiences, and systemic inequalities. In the midst of grief, burnout, anxiety, depression, substance use, and conflict, we can feel lost, stuck, isolated, and hopeless. Working with a therapist can offer ways to help you identify what you’re reaching for, what is in the way, and how to chart your own path rooted in your unique ways of being.

I support people through the challenging phases of their lives using a trauma-informed, culturally-responsive, collaborative, action-oriented approach that is informed by my career in the non-profit sector. Life can feel overwhelming and I have a deep understanding of the uncertainty and complexities of life. It takes courage to ask for support whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, depression, chronic pain, anger, irritability, or low self-esteem. In session, we'll identify what's important to you, what's holding you back - and how to take meaningful action towards the life you want to lead.

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.
