How are you feeling? What are you thinking? What actions are you taking? Why are these things happening? Those are some of the classic questions asked by a therapist, but you’ve already been asking these questions. The answers are different for each person, and for different points in time. You might respond with, "I’m anxious, or sad, or angry", "I’m troubled about the past, or I'm worried about the future", "I’m drinking too much, or I’m distancing my family". Sometimes the answer is, "I don’t know, but I want to figure it out".

I work with individuals and couples (18+) navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, neurodiversity, relationship struggles, identity, and major life transitions. Maybe you've never quite felt like you belong anywhere. Like you're too much and not enough at the same time. Like you're surrounded by people and still completely alone. Like you've spent so long shrinking that you're not sure what it would feel like to stand fully in your own life. Much of this work comes back to self-worth, belonging, and communication. The voice that went quiet. The worth that never had room to root. Relationships that stopped feeling safe.

Have you been noticing changes in your child or teen? They may seem overwhelmed, shutdown, anxious, angry or just not quite themselves? Maybe you’ve noticed changes in their mood, friendships, school or confidence. Despite your best efforts, it feels harder to connect, understand what is going on or know how to help. The truth is, kids and teens today are carrying a lot, often without having the words or tools to explain what they’re feeling inside. Having the right support can make a meaningful difference.

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.
